I have just finished applying to several schools, and just caught a verb tense typo in one of my essays. The rest of my essays are kosher.

Funny thing was that I had three different folks read them, including two coworkers, and my dad and none of us caught it til now... I hope this isn't something that is a big minus.....

Haha, so suppose that two admissions officers read that particular essay.

Then you're basically saying, "I had a very small error, and the first four people who read it didn't catch it, but I'm not feeling good about readers #5 and #6." :P

Relax! Odds are they won't see it either.
