Since there may not be an option to check spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors in the application portal. You need to manually review these errors before submitting the application.
Maintain uniformity
Make sure you have maintained uniformity in everything in your application. Please check for the titles, job designations, organization names, accuracy of dates, years that you mentioned in your resume. It should match with the details shared in your essays and other data forms in your application. If something doesn’t match up across your materials, it may raise a red flag to the adcom.
Try to avoid copy-paste

In your resume Illustrate an achievement in a fresh way or give additional details that were not mentioned.
Check for the correct program name and school name
