That is not a big deal at all.

Some students think that because competition is so fierce, schools are looking for any excuse to reject an applicant. That just isn’t the case. How on earth would penalizing you for a single missing punctuation mark help Harvard build a good undergraduate class?

If your essay had multiple punctuation mistakes and other typos, it might indicate that you were careless. If it had a few grammar errors, it could indicate that you were weak at writing. But a single missing period in an additional information section means NOTHING.
