Personal statement had a fault

Clever me, so basically my UCAS application got sent to universities today and when I was looking around Track, I realized my personal statement had an unintentional repetition, like I wrote the same word twice next to each other.
Do you think this will affect my application? Will I still get into university? My school were "supposed" to have read over my personal statement, but if they did, they obviously didn't pick up on it. I'm scared universities will read it and be like "She's not getting in, she doesn't proof read work", but I did and I got others to too, so I'm shocked now only just to realize when it's too late.
Please help I'm freaking out!
Well first you should have read it multiple times and even got other people to read it back with you who would possibly spot it.
Honestly if the overall personal statement is strong and the rest of your application, then it really shouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't stress about it too much.
