<p>I just reread my personal statement, and I am freaking out now. Two things that now seem like glaring mistakes: I used the word "vital" twice in the first prompt response, and I said I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my Political Science degree. I outlined a bunch of various paths I was interested in taking, but said I still wasn't sure which direction I would go in. You think this is a problem? I can't believe I missed the use of the word vital, twice. I mean, why couldn't I have used "crucial," or "important," or something else of one of them? The rest of it is well-written, and I've got As in all my English courses... will they take notice of this? Will they care that I don't absolutely know what I want to do with my degree, and said as much?</p>
<p>Relax! If you don’t get in, it will NOT be for either of those reasons. And anyway, you can’t change it now, so why waste your time worrying?</p>
<p>You’re right, thats a good point.</p>
<p>altschool is right. If you know you’re a strong applicant overall, these flaws are so very very insignificant.</p>
