<p>So my essay was phenomenal (not pulitzer or anything, just really really good, I worked very very hard on it though) but I had a big booboo. There was only one, but it was the first sentence in the second paragraph was a total fragment. Whether or not I just missed it, or uploaded the wrong version or didn't save it, I don't really know, but whatever. </p>

<p>Will it kill me? I'm applying to schools like Harvard, Vanderbilt, Northwestern, Princeton, etc, and I'm slightly worried. I mean the rest of the essay is fantastic, and while it's a fairly obvious error, it doesn't really interrupt the essay in any way...</p>

<p>How much will it hurt? Or will they just look at it and say "ok, it's an obvious mistake but the rest of it is pretty good regardless"?</p>
