i already submitted it....

well, obviously, there is nothing you can do now, so really no point in dwelling on it. But it would certainly help us comment on the situation if you transposed the exact type on here, or at least provided some details about the context.

It happens... I did the same thing on my AADSAS app. My typo arose when I was copying and pasting things into the application from a word document.

Although it isn't great, (we are supposed to be dental material and thus detail oriented) its not the end of the world. I still got in, and you can too. It's almost insignificant when compared to your GPA, DAT scores, PS etc.

Look on the bright side. It happened on a secondary, and thus only sent to one school.

i'm just venting, if any else has done the same thing they can vent too. i wrote felling instead of feeling.

I'll vent.

I sent an email to an orthodontist about one of the schools I applied to looking for info, help, etc.

Response:

Spellcheck all of your email, so you don't spell your name incorrectly.

haha, im sure i have some typos in the millions of supplemental essays ive written. I never go back to reread them. so if the red-squiggly line under the word is corrected, i just copy and paste and submit and forget.

some of the websites close out of the pages though, be sure to save periodically - i had an awesome essay erased because of the 1 hour inactivity log-out. my second essay after that was lame.

At my interview at Baylor last cycle, one of my LORs from a bio professor stated that I was a she, instead of a he. the interviewer started laughing the minute I walked into the room, i didn't know what to do, so I just started randomly laughing as well. she told me about the letter and said it was fine. small things like that are bypassed a majority of the time by adcoms. so don't worry too much.
