<p>1) So on a supplement essay, which i tweaked many times to use for many schools, i wrote the same sentence twice...</p>

<p>So.. this is the part of my essay.
"The applications for military and commercial uses were endless. I spent the summer collecting data and testing their product. I spent the summer collecting data and testing their product. I would..."</p>

<p>Would this affect the admission decision?
I messed up while revising and didn't check after the final revision ( i usually copy&paste it onto a different page and work on each paragraph and copy&paste back)
You may say i'm worrying over nothing, but i am still greatly worried.</p>

<p>2) Also, on my commonApp essay, i left out a period.
It is relatively a miniscule error compared to the first one, but i'm still worried.</p>

<p>3) On commonapp short essay section where it tells you to "elaborate on your extracurricular activity", I misunderstood the prompt and simply talked about music in general ...</p>

<p>Someone please tell me how much these factors matter!</p>

<p>I guess the first two things do not matter that much, but (I don’t know what college you applied to, so I’m just generally speaking, I’m sure it also depends on the colleges) they might give the impression that you didn’t care about reviewing your essay. The third thing could be problematic, especially because they always say that it is important to carefully read the prompt.</p>
