<p>Hey guys, I just realized that in the entire "duplicate versions" mess that I am sure many of you also dealt with, I accidentally had the wrong box checked for which essay I was writing in the main Common App essay. I wrote an essay in response to the "significant person" essay, yet had the "significant event" box marked off for the essay I wrote to Chapel Hill back in October. It's a stupid mistake, but somebody told me not to worry; they sometimes just guess your prompt by reading your essay. I am worried, however. Would it be more detrimental to e-mail the schools (this includes Cornell and Brown) and have them be aware of my mistake, or not to do anything at all and hope they understand?</p>
<p>I believe this was the mistake of working on these for so long that some things I never checked back over again because in my head I "knew" they were absolutely correct.</p>
