Had to resubmit my personal statement

I recently applied Early Commitment to a school, and accidentally submitted the wrong draft of my personal statement in the application. The draft didn't have major errors, but was missing a paragraph that I thought was crucial to why I was a good fit for law school. The rough draft was named too similar to my final draft, and that was the reason for the error.

I called the admissions department and then emailed them the new submission. How significantly will this error and new submission affect my chances of being admitted? I am kinda freaking out a bit just because this school was at the top of my list.

Thanks for the help.

Good enough if before they start to review. Good luck!

Just wanted to give an update in case anyone in the same situation finds this:

Just found out I was accepted, so all of my worrying was for nothing...

If you have to resubmit, take a deep breath. It's not the end of the world like you currently think it is.
