Top Law Schools

So I've sent out my applications to almost all my schools when I notice that I made a small typo in a few places. I used a hyphen to separate a clause in a sentence, when it should have been a dash like, for example, "The sun - big, round, and warm - rose this morning" when it should have been "The sun – big, round, and warm – rose this morning."

I know there's virtually nothing I can do about it at this point, but I'm a crippling ball of anxiety about these apps and my immediate reaction was to assume I would be rejected from every school I applied to. Schools reviewing my app are basically all T14.

On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being they won't even notice/care, 10 being rejected out of hand) how serious will this be?

Edit of my example:

IMO, that type of "error" doesn't matter. With different fonts and sizes, the difference among a hyphen, en-dash, and em-dash is not going to make or break you. I doubt anyone will notice.

I think you're fine, I didn't even know the differences between the dashes until law school.

I still don't know the difference...

Doesn't matter at all. No one will care.
