After submitting my app yesterday, today I noticed I made a mistake from rewording a sentence. The sentence - "I worked with the organization to reach out to those.." (the "to" is missing)

How deadly is this grammatical error to my application? I'm freaking out right now...

You'll be fine. Most personal statements get skimmed anyway, and the occasional typo isn't going to kill you.

Well there is nothing you can do now so just let it go... Don't worry about it.

I wouldn't sweat it.

Can't you edit PS's after the fact?

I feel like "to" is one of those words a reader's brain will fill in anyway

I noticed a typo in a secondary the day before my interview and I thought my life was over.
Still got accepted.
As long as they're not over the place don't sweat it.

This calls for a little...

Sigh... I just found a typo in mine too while I was looking for something else. Except its a lot worse.

Its in my work activities section twice instead of putting Medically "Underserved" I put Medically "Undeserved".....

...............

Well its twice on my work activities section for my MD application and it shows up once on my DO work activities section.

I think ADCOMs will understand! Also, this is hilarious

The worst thing about it is its one of those compound words where Word wont pick it up as incorrect because both "Underserved" and "Undeserved" are words.

I'm sure you'll be fine! I wouldn't worry about it! I noticed a typo in my app after submission too. I bet they read it over so quickly they don't even notice!

You'll be fine. I made a typo in a secondary app essay of a school I got accepted to.
