Typo in Email to Admissions Office...

Sarah889

So...I'm pretty sure that the title explains itself. I am usually anal about my outgoing emails, especially when they are to law school admissions offices. I reread this specific email like 10 times and ended up having to change something, but didn't notice that I needed to change it in two spots. Basically, I had to change the quantity of something from 2 to 3, but only did it in one place.

"...I took 3 classes at [X Institution] in [X years] before I was enrolled full-time in any undergraduate institution. Those 2 classes show up on my transcript and contribute to my overall GPA..."

What are the chances this will hurt me? I sent it to a T14 school...do they consult previous emails from applicants when looking at their applications?

I AM SO MAD THAT I DID THIS!

Don't sweat it, you'll be fine. Just triple check next time!

Nah, this won't hurt you. Even if they realize the typo, they won't care.

Whenever I have to send an important email/document, I print it out and read it out loud. That seems to catch 99% of typos.

Been there before--reading it a few times, making little changes, reading more, then finding mistakes in the sent version. So I get it. One trick that could help is sending it to yourself first.
