College Confidential - View Single Post - corrections on application...please help!!!!!!!

Not on the application itself, actually. I was going through my resume today (I need to submit to another place) and saw that in the awards section, I had made a mistake. It's probably really minor, but it was a math award from a contest freshman year, and bad cutting and pasting (and carelessness, too, I have to say) made me completely misidentify the name of the award. I guess I kinda had a long science/math award list, and when I was checking it, I didn't bother to re-check the bottom of the list.
Now, should I e-mail/mail MIT admissions correcting the name of the award, or will I look stupid if I do that? It's only regional award, so I guess it was a minor mistake, but should I correct it anyway?
