Please, help me!

In my common app essay I made a typing mistake. In one part of my text I say I’m 13 during the time I was describing, but then a few lines below I made a typing mistake and pressed a 4 instead of 3, so I wrote, wrongly, that I was 14. This mistake is irrelevant to the understanding of the essay. Could it somehow hinder my application?

This error I think seems small enough that it shouldn’t hurt. It’s not big enough to call the school over, so there’s not much you can do. Don’t stress it, I doubt it will make much of an impact on your application.
