So I have been customizing the last paragraph of my personal statement for each school I have applied to.
I start the paragraph by "It would be an honor to...." Looking through my submitted applications, I realized that for two of my applications, the first statement reads "I would be an honor..." instead of "IT". I know that this is not the biggest mistake in the world, but would this make me look sloppy and unprofessional? Other than that, my personal statements have been proofread and critiqued by several people, so they should be free of any other mistakes.
Please tell me what you think!!! I am beyond worried

eh; its a one character mistake in a 2+ page personal statement. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

This is not worth losing sleep over. You are OK. Don't call the schools to discuss it, dont submit a modified PS, just sit back relax and enjoy the peace and freedom of no longer studying or writing apps.

Worry if you applied to Yale, otherwise you should be okay.

Most people's eyes will slide right over this and read what you meant. Especially people with hundreds of these to read.

Thank you all so much for the support! I am just going to try to relax and not worry about it! Good luck:)

Don't be so sanguine. This is exactly the kind of stuff that adcoms hate. Its like, you spend hours on an application and you can't even proofread for typos? If I were you, I'd email all of the schools about the error.

Someone's trolling this morning! Imma stalk all your posts and warn the others.

You can't possibly be serious about this. It was an honest mistake. They'll get over it. Its called being human.

Yeah, Dont worry. Think about it this way, ONE little error is not going to drastically change their decision. If they were to admit you they will, if they weren't they wont. Be easy
