So here’s what happened.
I asked someone to proof read my personal statement like three weeks ago. They finally got back to me with their edits late last night. I was ready to submit my PS as is and make no changes but then I read their edits which were phenomenal. They took my essay which I’d rate as a 7/10 and made it so much better. They are obviously an amazing writer.
The problem is that I couldn’t get all of their edits in and update my PS before bed last night. I’m on a rotation where I need to wake up early and had to get some sleep.
I know that programs get access to the applications at 6am PST (my timezone) and that you can continuously edit your PS all throughout the application cycle.
So I got up and started making edits to it at 5am this morning. I got all of the edits I wanted to make in to the essay before 6am and quickly rushed to work.
At work I decide to reread the essay an hour after it became available to programs and found one very minor typo, which I immediately corrected at 7am.
Here is my question:
1. How screwed am I by this?
2. What do programs do with personal statements since they can constantly be altered by the applicants all throughout the app cycle? Basically I just wanna know if there are some programs out there that download your application immediately and never follow up on the updates you make, and therefore will have the typo in my PS permanently. Or is there some other way that programs review personal statements online or something and therefore I’m probably okay since they’ll just see the latest version which has no typo.
thanks for your help with this. It’s making me very nervous
