<p>I'm totally going crazy, I have no idea what I was thinking but I accidently used the same essay for the common app essay and the w&m optional supplement!!!
since it's optional..should i leave it?
should I call them?
email them and send a new essay?</p>
<p>freaking out!!!</p>
<p>Does the Common App have instructions for this error? I am sure it happens to several people every year, so they may have instructions for it.</p>
<p>If not, contact W&M, explain what happened, and ask how you can submit your supplement. </p>
<p>Don’t leave it --.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>thanks a lot (:</p>
<p>Jenko 23, this is something that happens to several applicants every year. If you had another essay you had hoped to submit, we suggest mailing it or faxing it to the Admission Office and simply explaining the earlier mistake. It certainly will not affect you negatively to send something else now. If you you had planned only to submit an Common Application essay that is fine too.</p>
