Editing an essay for style is very important because this is where you make those minor adjustments that add up to either a successful essay or a run of the mill okay one. For instance, when you’re reading a professional document of some sort and come across a typo, it makes you question the legitimacy of the resource, doesn’t it? Admissions reviewers will feel the same way when reading your essay if they come across many errors of that sort. While you may never write the perfect essay, you can certainly strive for it, right?
