How do the admission officers estimate the college essay is original?

<p>I mean, will there be a chance that my essay will be considered as plagiarized mistakenly?
And if I copy one or two excellent sentences from a sample essay(I think they are really good, and perfectly fit my essay) into my college essay, will my essay considered as plagiarized?</p>

<p>It’s one thing to write a sentence that paraphrases an idea you read. It’s another to lift the line verbatim.</p>

<p>You cannot copy sentences from a sample essay. Period.</p>

How can it be “mistakingly” if you deliberately “copy one or two excellent sentences from a sample essay”?</p>
