I have submitted 6 of my (10 or so) applications already when I noticed this mistake:
"Specifically, after law school, I would like to work as a court clerk, and follow this service by working for an organization dedicated to public interest law addressing educational iniquity."
Now, I know the difference between 'iniquity' and 'inequity,' but I realized the mistake a little too late. I've applied to most of the schools I actually want to attend. Should I resubmit?
I've rationalized in my mind that I should just leave it be, that 'iniquity' (def: [among other things and with certain connotations] a gross injustice) and 'inequity' (def: an injustice/unfairness) are close enough that, while it's not the best word, it can make sense in context. Thoughts?
In case it matters, numbers. LSAT: 177, GPA: 3.75. I've sent this out to 4 T10 schools (including my four top choices) among others. Changed it for the remaining schools I'll be applying to. Thanks.

Do you really want to work as a court clerk? Do you mean a judicial clerkship??

Good point. Presuming he/she would have the grades for a clerkship is a pretty douchey move, so we can only hope you are right.booyakasha wrote:maybe OP is being realistic about the economy.Emma. wrote:Do you really want to work as a court clerk? Do you mean a judicial clerkship??

I wouldn't worry about this. There were far worse typos/errors in my applications and I don’t think they affected my chances at all.
I don't know about YHS, but from CCN on down, your numbers/URM status are all that matter. I was worried sick about the errors in my applications, as I’m sure you are, but try not to worry. I am sure these errors are not going to be a difference maker anywhere.
Good Luck!
