<p>Hi guys, this is my first post so I'm sorry if I'm making any forum faux pas. I just recently submitted my common application essay. I had read it over dozens of times but for some reason my parents and I managed to miss a glaring error! I forgot to indent one of my paragraphs! How bad will this look to the colleges? More specifically to Pomona since I applied there early decision. If it helps determine anything my SAT is 780M 730R and 680W and I have a 3.5 GPA with a rank in the 17th percentile, with many extracurriculars including around 5 leadership positions. Do you guys think I should create a new common app file for the 4 other schools on the list?</p>
<p>If Pomona is going to accept someone, I doubt that a missing paragraph indentation is going to make them pause, rethink, and change their minds.</p>
<p>Don't worry about it. I doubt that it will even be noticed. The brain tends to correct for situations like that.</p>
<p>Well, there you go, you just screwed all your chances for Pomona, and should just call them up and tell them your rescinding your application. j/k, think about all the factors that go into college and now think about how much wieght essay paragraph indentations have. >.001%. Seriously, the only weigh errors can hurt you much is if there are a bunch of them and they are really obvious, otherwise, they're not going to do anything. Stop worrying, and take a deep breath.</p>
<p>Deep breath taken! Thanks guys!</p>
