<p>I sent my ED application to Brown, and while I was obsessively checking out the PDF file of my application yet again, I noticed that on my Common App essay, a paragraph is missing.</p>

<p>Okay, not an entire paragraph, but two spaces. It looks like two disjointed ideas are merged into one paragraph and I’m scared as heck. Writing is one of my strong points and I’m so worried that this will count against me. I <em>know</em> I put two spaces in between the paragraphs, but I guess they didn’t show up when I sent the app. I know this was a problem before, so I kept fixing it. But when I sent it, the essay must’ve messed itself up again.</p>

<p>Please tell me I’m overreacting.</p>

<p>Will this count against me?</p>

<p>You’re overreacting</p>

<p>Yeah, I probably am. Sorry. I tend to do that. Must be Post Application Sending Syndrome or something of that sort :P</p>

<p>very common here on CC. If you sit back and watch, you’ll see all sorts of “freak outs”. It’s natural. Enjoy your sr year & good luck w/your colleges.</p>
