<p>After reading through my essay about 16.2 million times, I submitted it thinking that there are no errors in it. Lo and freaking behold, I read it after submission and spotted this grammar error that makes me sound like a retarded oaf.</p>
<p>Could I mail my new essay to them? I changed one word only. If not, what am I to do?</p>
<p>Call and ask to submit a correction.</p>
<p>I highly doubt one word will make a difference…</p>
<p>You can probably email the corrected version to the admissions office. A similar thing happened to me when I submitted my application to Rice - when I read through it afterwards, I realized I’d submitted the wrong version of my supplementary essay. I emailed it to Rice and their representative was really nice about it and added it to my file. Just make sure to include your full name at the top of the document.</p>
