Typo Woes

I would like some advice about a couple typos on my common application. In the activities section I misspelled two words, science-sceince and member -memeber, I only noticed today and it has already submitted to all my schools except Harvard. I have seen varying opinions on the subject online and was hoping to get some input from you guys. I read the application over probably more than 100 times before submitting it, but I guess the senior year stress took its toll on my editing capabilities.

Should I bother doing anything? Will this kill any chance of admission to Yale, UPenn or Swarthmore? The common app won’t let me modify the main application now that i sent it in for certain schools, should I just send it as-is to Harvard?

Thanks, I’m kinda freakin’ out right now
