One of those OCD typo posts

[MTJ]

I recently applied to several MPP programs. After submitting my first, I noticed that I had a typo on my resume: I had accidentally written "2012" instead of "2010" for a previous position, so it made the employment section look strange and out of order. Naturally, I fixed that immediately. However, after submitting two more applications, I noticed ANOTHER error, this one in formatting: in the education section of my resume, the indentation of the bulleted lines was slightly off. The bullets themselves were lined up with those in the rest of the resume, but the text was slightly (but, I would say, noticeably, at least once I actually picked up on it) closer to the bullets than in the rest of the resume, due to some sort of MS Word vagary. As always seems to be the case for some reason, I somehow completely missed both of these during several dozen rounds of pre-submission proofreading.

 

So, I guess my question is: how screwed am I for the schools that received the version with the formatting error, and (especially) for the one that received the version with both errors? For all but one of these schools, I'm past the priority submission deadline, though not the final deadline; does the cost-benefit analysis work in favor of re-submitting the resume via email, or should I just wait it out at this point? For whatever its worth, I have a fairly strong academic profile--4.0 undergrad GPA (economics major), 170V/166Q/6A, recommendations from professors and supervisors with whom I had strong relationships, etc.

i will just be honest with you because i feel like that would be best: you're pretty screwed. what would you think as an ADCOM if an applicant couldn't even format his resume correctly? not just that, but i know ADCOMs ding people if they think they cant even take the time to properly complete their application

btw that was a joke

 

you are fine and no one will care at all. i doubt people will even notice

Yeah don´t email them, that will only bring attention to the mistakes...I doubt they look at them

Some schools take updated resume. So if there's something you have to add to yours send them an email with your updated resume with edits. 
However, the 2012 error may be something that you would want them to be aware of? The formatting mistakes are not as important and would probably go unnoticed.
