<p>Santa Clara University is my dream school, and I spent ages working on my essays. I don't understand and I can't forgive myself for it. Should I email them with the correct version of the essay?</p>
<p>It shouldn’t hurt. I would call them and find out who your admission officer is and maybe send it to them directly with an explanation of course. Good luck to you.</p>
<p>What kind of mistake? You almost hate to bother them at this point when these schools are so involved in decision-making, so the type of error is sort of important. Did you put the name of a different university in an easay, or something?</p>
