Personal statement plagiarism panicking

I just posted a thread on here- and basically wrote the same sentence about 10 words exactly the same as in my personal statement without thinking!

I’m now panicking my personal statement will be flagged for plagiarism- the sentence is in my own words/ was am written from scratch by me- it was about a volunteering thing I’ve done, but oh my god I am panicking. Would this likely be flagged up? I haven’t copied from anyone else but myself.

I sent my ucas application off 8 days ago and posted this thread like 20 mins ago. Would it be likely to be flagged up now??

Edit: just doubled checked- 6 words have been used from the same sentence, the opening is the same but the words were re-structured and there’s two words different on my statement. Hopefully my other thread will be removed.

Have you taken it down?You should be okay we have had people put the whole thing up for a few minutes and it has not caused a problem to my knowledge.

I posted it as anon- I’ve asked for it to be removed, I could quite honestly cry. Can’t believe I did that tbh. It might take the moderators hours to remove it
