<p>hey guys! first post on here woohhwwooohhh!!! OK so anyway, I recently applied to UC Berkeley and I consider it one of my top schools at the moment, but I've been having a crisis this past week. I reread my essays this past week, just because, and I noticed that one of them had a couple of grammatical errors that stupidly slipped my mind (and sight) before I submitted. My other essay is really good and no errors whatsoever, but on my first essay, about your background, I forgot to put an apostrophe when I wrote "moms", while it should have been "mom's". I also put show instead of showed and misused the word "retrospect", and said that my Dad provided me with "retrospect" on a specific type of issue. Ehh I know this is going to obviously hurt me, I'm not daft, but I wanted to know the extent that it would affect my chances. Again, my other essay was well written and pretty insightful, (as was this one, just without the, err, errors). I also got a 32 on my ACT and got all A's last semester in all IB classes, (4.4 GPA W and 3.92 UW) took 2 AP tests w/o the class and got 5's on both, and have tons of EC (mostly leadership inc positions and counseling at leadership summer camp, but I also started my own non-profit as well gardening project at a local school) I might be over, or under-reacting, but I think I just need a little clarity. Thank you!</p>
