Hi there,
I would contact Tuck (via the general admissions address or application/tech support address) and tell them you uploaded the wrong version of an essay. They can usually replace it on their end and if you do it quickly enough, it might happen before your application gets fully processed / read. You'll never know for sure that they won't see it, but at least I think it's worth trying to replace it.
Good luck!
Kate

Hi everyone,
I'm freaking out and have never felt worse. I just submitted my Tuck application... and accidentally called out "Yale" in my optional essay. I used the wrong essay.

Anyone have any advice if I should contact admissions explaining it? Tuck is absolutely my #1 choice in school, but I'm also applying to Yale and Michigan Ross, knowing that admissions is never guaranteed. I feel absolutely disgusted at myself for making this mistake and potentially ruining my chances as my #1 choice in school.

Would appreciate advice.

Thanks.

I just did the same thing -- I wrote a two sentence Optional Essay, similar to below.

I do not have a current supervisor recommendation as I recently have changed supervisor in the last two months. My last supervisor can speak to my success at GSB and beyond.

It's supposed to be HBS lol. Is it worth emailing HBS? My consultant said no but would love other opinions
