Submitted PS with name of wrong law school within.
How screwed am I? Will they reach out to other law schools I applied to over this? I used a generic personal statement for a good amount of the schools I applied to and simply tweaked or replaced the names of the schools within (yes I know that's dumb from reading on here, but what's done is done).

I don't see why they would reach out to other schools about it. It may be a minor knock against you from the school you sent it to, but I don't think it'd make a huge difference if you are a sort of bread and butter admit.
They'll probably assume you did what you did (not that there's anything wrong with it beyond being careless) or think you uploaded the wrong statement.

No. Why on earth would they do that?Anonymous User wrote:How screwed am I? Will they reach out to other law schools I applied to over this?
This can only hurt you at the school that received the mistake. And even at that school, there's a decent chance they won't even notice. And even if they notice, there's a good chance they'll admit you anyway if your GPA and LSAT are good enough.
This kind of mistake is made all the time. Don't let it happen again, but stop worrying about it.
