I made a grammatical error in my medical personal statement, am i screwed?

So I decided last minute to change a portion of my PS. I used former and latter and instead of using former as the first, I went with latter. 😭 I feel like this is such a major error. 😭😭

Unlikely. People make mistakes at all levels.

It’s only a grammatical error, I doubt they’ll care about a small mistake.

Does it significantly change the meaning of the sentence or entire personal statement?

"When I was first thinking about studying medicine I had two considerations in mind: I love every aspect of it or I can't stand it. After much deliberation I went with the latter."

My paragraph was:


Don't post any part of your PS online until an application cycle is complete. That's worse than a grammatical error.
