Here’s what happened:

I applied ED to Northwestern University in WCAS for Statistics. However, I decided to change majors about a week and a half ago because I thought Industrial Engineering would be a better choice for me. So I emailed NU and told them I wanted to switch the school I was applying to and gave them a reason. They said it was fine and amended my application.

However, in my Why NU? essay, I had a little statement about how I would love WCAS and the MENU program. I also wrote about how NU’s academics appeal to me because it is strong in many areas and switching majors would allow me to have a spectacular academic experience for whatever I end up choosing.

My question is, am I screwed because I applied to McCormick and mentions MENU and WCAS in my essay?
