Found a typo in a statement I had already submitted to other law schools

I am embarrassed to say I found a present/past tense error when I was uploading a document to a law school app. I had already submitted that doc on another application. Is this really bad? I am over the 75th percentile for GPA and just under the 50th for LSAT by one point. I am really nervous because this was my dream school. Anything helps. I feel so stupid

    The grammatical error's degree of the impact notwithstanding, I think you should send a revised document to the school's admission office.

    Some schools will specifically ask that you not submit a new statement if there is a typo, and only to send substantial changes. Other schools - if they receive a new PS - will simply add the new PS on top of (but not instead of) the old PS. This is just what I've seen for some schools, but I have no yes/no hard answer!
