Mistake on application form

I recently submitted an application to a bulge bracket bank and realised that I had made three spelling mistakes in my competency questions.
Do you think they will reject me based on that? Also is it worth me making a new account and re-applying, and if they realise I have re-applied what's the worst thing that can happen?

 

Oh God! In a best case scenario they won't mind those spelling mistakes, and you'll get in, but that's only 10% chance. Why? Well I guess you know why or you wouldn't ask about it. Don't re-apply that will make things worse. Here's my strategy go now and apply somewhere else before the season ends, apply to some boutiques, if you didn't get a job in a BB you got to do something else or your career will just end. Apply to anything that has connection to IBanking, if you got lucky and got accepted in the BB you applied for at the beginning that's good, if the opposite happened, you can save your career with other job. I hope I helped

What is a Signature?
 

If you just recently submitted your application then withdraw and create a new account with a different email. The Probability of them seeing these errors is higher than the probability of rejecting you because you created two accounts

Also, if they see these errors, you're almost certainly out (unless you're a truly exceptional candidate)

 

If you have a 3.7 from a target with M&A work experience, the bank will definitely let this one slide. Don't freak out about it. They may not even notice.

It's funny - you always read that one tiny mistake will completely tank your application, but I don't think it's the case. Especially when everything is so impressive. I mean, it might give the impression that you're sightly sloppy (even if it's not true) - but that shouldn't be a complete deal breaker. Good luck with it.
