Graduate / Having a minor freakout over tailoring essays to fit [4]

So I'm freaking out a little here.

I'm applying for MPAs/MPPs in enviro policy, to various very well regarded schools. I wrote my SOP, sent it to a couple of good friends, family, and professors to read, all of whom liked it. My prof is an MIT grad and really liked it, and a Princeton alum did too. Not trying to name-drop, just saying they've been through the process lol. :)

I had a para in there that was admittedly somewhat generic because it talked about faculty at University XYZ and their legacy, intellectual attitudes and so forth. I initially had nothing, then thought I should say SOMETHING about the schools and added it in. There wasn't a whole lot I could have said specifically about the school though - it's a professional degree, no thesis, and when you apply to Harvard you don't need to explain why you are applying to Harvard, so I just said basically that I wanted to go there because of its legacy. (Not that I applied to Harvard!)

Now I'm a little worried. The generic para was in there when I sent it for review, and not one person mentioned anything, so I left it in the app submissions, but now it's struck me that it might be SOP suicide? It's a bit more indepth than others might be, so maybe it didn't stick out as a generic para with flashing neon lights, but it's still not really specific.

Are admissions committees likely to discard what is otherwise, IMO, a really strong SOP just on the basis of this? Or will it really not make any difference to the overall app? I'm counting on my SOP and LORs to carry a lot of weight...

I don't know. Help?
