A Possible Big Mistake on MSU Personal Statement

I’ve already applied to MSU Lyman Briggs and they’ve received all of my materials, and was going through my personal statement and realized that I had mentioned “University of Michigan” once in the whole essay. I was writing in response to "Describe a significant experience from the past two years which required you to interact with someone outside of your own social or cultural group (ethnic, religious, geographic, socio-economic, etc.). How did this impact you? What did you learn and what surprised you?

To keep it short and simple, I had a summer program at U of M for physics, and talked of my cultural experience with the many students that came from South Korea. But the thing that is bothering me the most now is whether or not the mention of U of M in the essay will hurt my chances at MSU? (From the people I talked to, my grades, classes, and ACT is fine for MSU)
