Writing Sample Mistakes

[Athanasius]

Hello All,

 

I recently submitted a few applications (Phd, New Testament). My writing sample is fairly strong, I think. However, after I submitted it I noticed a few mistakes (a couple typos and repeated words) in the footnotes. I suppose that I left a few redundancies while I was reformatting the paper for submission. Does anyone know if admissions committees usually pay terribly close attention to footnotes or if they are forgiving in this area? Many thanks in advance.

I had an error in my footnote (misspelled an author's name) and I still got in -- so there's a good chance it'll be ok!
