Help! About visa type

<p>i'm international, and I do not hold a visa right now. i chose "F-1" because i mistakenly thought the Common App was asking for the visa type i EXPECTED to have... i didn't notice the "i do not hold" one...does this mistake affect my application? or just the i-20 form after being admitted? should I contact all the colleges now?</p>

<p>contact them, your visa status is important</p>
