Essay Error- Sentence fragment

grantortue · 12-09-2007, 03:04 PM

In my supplemental I just found a sentence fragment where the second page begins. It must have slipped my eye before I submitted it. It isn't that awkward, I'm sure if they are reading fast it won't stick out too much. But will that kill the essay or will it have little to no effect at all?

little effect to none at all

agreed. i used both "theatre" and "theater" in my short essay, and i don't think it's that big of an issue.

You wrote more than one page?? What?! Don't worry about it, though, I wrote the same exact sentence in my paper twice, so I'm in the same situation.

i dunno about grantortue but my supplemental was a little less than page and a half.

Yeah, I noticed a huge error in my essay. Still got accepted. I should have given myself more than a day to write it.

oh please, you're just second guessing yourself like I did

don't worry, everything will workout. Cornell = great, but Cornell does NOT = life.
