So the primary app has already been long submitted, but I just noticed a horrific mistake. While listing a sports medicine practitioner under my shadowing experiences I say, "Sports Medecine"

I literally misspelled the thing I am applying for. I'm an idiot.

How do you think admissions people view this?

prob not good, but they might not even catch it
 
I'm more attentive to spelling and grammar now because the feeling of making such a stupid mistake is no good!! I hope one misspelling won't keep me from my dream. :dead:

Malpractice lawyers grow fat and rich over medical mistakes like these.
 
The biggest mistake you made was reviewing your primary after it was submitted. Don't do this.
This isn’t good advice. I’ve already written a good amount of secondaries and referenced my primary for a lot of them (gap year questions, find out what I didn’t say on my primary, etc)

I think the intent was “Don’t revisit your primary with the intent of revision.”
