So after submitting two of my applications for grad school, I was preparing the third application's CV (I submitted my CV under Additional Info sections) when I found out that somehow I misspelled curriculum ("Cirriculum") in heading of my CV, so it's in a slightly larger font than usual . It didn't show up in the spell check since it was in Small Caps, and myself as well as everyone who read over my CV and myself didn't manage to catch it during the numerous reads of my CV. I contacted both of the schools to inquire aboout how I would go about submitting an "updated" CV, and both mentioned that this document wouldn't replace my old CV, it would just be added to my file. This puts me in a wierd position.
On one hand, if I leave the typo in the CV, the professors might not catch it, as they could just glance at the document and recognize from the formatting that it's a CV, subsequently just scanning through to find the info of interest. I mean, if a few professors who were reading through my CV more stringently didn't catch it, then maybe I can assume that professors wouldn't catch it easily. On the same hand, the professor could see the typo, but then again - if a professor isn't interested in me because of the typo, then I don't know if I'd want to work with him/her.
On the other hand, I could submit an updated version with other updates added to the CV besides the spelling change, but this might cause the typo to be more noticeable since there will be two copies. However, by submitting a correction, it might show that I recognized that there was a mistake and fixed it instead of just letting it slide.
What do you guys think? I'm kinda torn here and I'm not making any headway.
