Being an idiot

So, I was doing my last grad school application (out of 5) and I noticed that
the 'Personal Statement' I was working on had MIT specific stuff in it (ie
stuff meant for MIT).

I went back of my copies (and the RCS files) and sure enough, there is a
paragraph in 3 of my non-MIT applications that was meant for MIT only.

I suppose this is what I get for doing my final proofing late at night with
little sleep.

Does anyone think it would be a good idea to try to send a correction /
explanation ? How would the admission's comittee receive it.

Of course, if I could get into MIT this would not be relevant, but that is a
subject for a different transaction.
