<p>I was applying UCSB and UCI online and i messed up with the format of the essay. I put a tab at each beginning of the paragraph and i did not skip a line when i started with a new paragraph. The format there was exactly same as Word format. I realized that i wasn't suppose to do so. I am wondering how bad is it when the admission officer see that.</p>
<p>no biggie, really they will not reject you just because of that, relax</p>
