<p>I'm sure they'll understand your situation; these people aren't cold-hearted bastards, you know (well, except when they send out rejection letters). It was a mistake, and they'll help you fix it.</p>
<p>Yes, just contact the colleges' Admission Offices, explain that you uploaded the wrong document in place of your essay, and ask how you can send your essay to them. It shouldn't be a problem.</p>
