I am kicking myself - left out two words in versions of a supplemental essay I submitted to Penn/Michigan.

I wrote:

I have seen how policy translates into for "regular folks."

I meant:

"I have seen how policy translates into meaningful outcomes for "regular folks."

I'm assuming it's better to address it than not? Advice on how to broach this with the schools?

Did something similar on my Michigan app, emailed them and asked if I could email an updated personal statement, they were really nice about it and let me do it. I got in, so it didn't seem to hurt me
