duplicated word in optional statement-- email admissions?

Hi guys--

I submitted applications for two target schools yesterday and noticed today that I made a very stupid typo in the second paragraph (duplicated word... I wrote 'are are'). I read through my essay more than 5 times before submitting each and didn't notice this! I don't think there are any other issues with the optional statement and my PS is good to go.

Do you think it is worth it to email admissions and ask them to review an updated version or should I just let this one go rather than bringing more attention to it?

Thanks for your thoughts!

    From what I’ve read, you should let it go as is

    nah, i'd say just let it be. you don't want to draw attention to it when they may not even care too much. it is what it is at this point

    At least you didn't total misspell the name of an organization you worked for in your resume (something I did).

    :)

    Na, you're good! They want to let you in and a silly mistake isn't going to be the deciding factor.
