I'm freaking out about a spelling error!

I just submitted my supplemental essay to Ithaca College. In the second sentence, I just realized that I misspelled “eighth” as “eigth.” I am really, really, REALLY worried that they’ll just dismiss my application because of this error. Is this a serious issue? I mean, it’s in the second sentence of that essay! I have really good SAT scores and a great GPA, but is it possible that they will overlook these because of a simple error?

Thanks…
