<p>I just submitted my common app..and selected the wrong essay topic for my essay. I feel like an idiot, but is this kind of error something that can be corrected by the admissions office?</p>
<p>It’s really not a big deal and should not have any impact on your admissions decisions. But, to correct it you’d need to contact the admissions office at your schools to see what they suggest. Once you send the common app you can’t go through the common app site to revise what has been sent. If you have additional schools where you plan to apply, you can create a new version and fix the problem. Search for versions in the help section for instructions.</p>
