<p>okay, I just sent in my UC app, is it bad that I missed one word in my first sentence of the second prompt?
and for the first prompt, I used "IS" instead of "ARE".
Is this going to be a big blow in my application?
Everything else is beautiful, except for these mistakes, I am worried that because it happened on the first sentence, that they would completely abandon reading my essay.
I wont be able to sleep tonight.</p>
<p>No. They won't.
Have pleasant dreams. :)</p>
<p>You'll be fine. Go to sleep.</p>
<p>i don't think they will penalize you for that, they are more focused on your voice and word choice and if you are able to convey who you are, not on an is/are mistake...now the essay was full of those, it would be a different story</p>
