I looked over my personal statement around 12 times before I submitted it. I even looked at the document I had copy-pasted it from directly. I didn't see a typo. It may have most likely occurred during an "over the character limit" bit where the interface eats up letters by mistake.
The first word of my sixth paragraph looked like this:
"Transformin g"
I'm afraid the adcoms are going to think I am the least astute person in the universe. I'm still baffled by how I let that slide.
Any advice? Do you know of anyone who got AMCAS to fix it for them?
UPDATE: Yeah, it's obviously a glitch. I just downloaded the pdf of my app and the typo is not there. The typo is, however, in the HTML version. This is super-weird.
UPDATE 2: Just called AMCAS. They said the PDF format is what counts, and my pdf format does not contain the error. Super sigh of relief.
