Personal Statement / Typo on personal statement. Re-send?
« on: November 06, 2011, 08:52:06 PM »
After editing/changing/re-working my Personal Statement about 20 times I made the common error of memorizing what I wanted to say and didn't read it carefully enough to catch an obvious error I noticed a few days later...after submitting a few of my apps.
In the middle of a fairly long sentence I wrote:
"...stuck with me because I knew I while I wanted to be..." instead of
"...stuck with me because I knew while I wanted to be..."
Fortunately this seems to be the only error I made and I am very happy with my PS otherwise.
This looks to be a pretty obvious error but doesn't seem to indicate much more than failure to catch a small error, after all it is only one letter.
Should I take the time to contact the school and re-send a new version or just hope that they think little of it/possibly miss it?
