Problem with Personal Statement Forum

[MaffyG]

Hello everyone,

I was looking over my personal statement today and I noticed that I have a slight grammatical error in the last paragraph of the it. To be precise, it reads:

"With all these factors in mind, I am fully commitment to the study of law"

When it should read:

"With all these factors in mind, I am fully committed to the study of law"

Sadly I have already submitted the statement.... What do I do?!?! I am so worried because I was so happy with my application and now I fear that this will jeopardise my chances of getting in. LSAC says that - in the case of a mistake - one must contact the law school directly - do you think this would be a good idea? Or, should I leave the mistake and hope it goes unnoticed?

In sum - oh dear! Any advice would be great.

Thank you!

Auto-rejected. Epic fail dude.

As helpful as that is, it hasn't really answered my question....

Honestly, they will probably just read over it..I wouldn't worry at all if I were you..

I feel like sending an e-mail to the school and notifying them of the mistake will just bring more attention to it. If it were ME I would just leave it be
