Typo

What do you guys feel is the significance of a typo on your ERAS? I know it is something that should be avoided at all cost, but after having at least 10 people proofread mine I found a typo in one of my past experiences. Most of the residents I have talked to say it is not a big deal, but need you guys opinion.

My application otherwise I feel is solid (not bragging, just getting an estimate of how much the damn typo is going to cost me): AOA, one publication, top 5 in class, many awards, 240, 252 on steps I and II respectively.
It was stupid, but nothing I can do about it now.


Aside, here are my interviews so far.

UT-Southwestern
Wake Forest
MUSC
Carolinas

I'm sure you'll be fine. We are all perfectionists in our own way. That's what gets us this far in the first place. I'm sure your typo is blatantly obvious to yourself only. If you think of the volumes of paperwork that each of these programs have to review to select candidates, small typos become miniscule in the grand scheme.
