Mistake - asked college to accept revised essay day after deadline. Help?

<p>On my school-provided email service, I'm able to unsend any message that has not yet been read. I didn't know this didn't apply to college admission offices. An hour ago, in a moment of passion, I emailed a college asking to consider replacing my Common App essay uploaded (and due) yesterday with the one attached - I feel that it offers a personal look/shows stronger writing ability than my previously uploaded one.</p>

<p>I feel like I just shot my chances at the school.</p>

<p>Is there anything I can do besides cry and get over it?</p>

<p>They may take it! The same thing happened to me. Only in my case I was like 2 months before the deadline but it doesn’t hurt to ask. If they say no, at least you tried.</p>
