Hey all, around a week ago, I sent in an update letter to the medical schools I'm applying to that accept these updates stating some achievements that were worth sharing with them. A friend of mine recently pointed out that I used slightly different formatting throughout the document and I was not sure whether this would be an issue (I do not see a need to re-upload as the grammar, spelling, and flow are good). The issues are as follows:

1. On the third achievement I listed, I used a different presentation style where I introduced the idea by "Date: I..." whereas on the other two achievements, I introduced the idea by "On date, I...".
2. Following the contact person's information on the third achievement (the last sentence of the document), I did not put a period after the parentheses for the individual's phone number.

I feel these are very minor issues that are unlikely to be noticed, although I am very conscious of anything that could look unfavorably as I am applying for some of the most competitive schools (my general application is very competitive). Any feedback would be appreciated.
 
You're fine. Chances are they never get around to ever reading your update letter.
 
Okay, thanks, Dormouse. As you once experienced, it is a pretty nerve-wracking experience. It will be satisfying by the end of it, though really testing my ability to cope with stress (a good thing).
