Your “error” will have absolutely no effect on whether you are accepted, deferred or rejected.

Why? Because the section you are referring to pertains to co-curricular activities you might want to pursue if admitted to Harvard. However, Admissions accesses every applicant on academic potential and strength of character. Although Admissions asks students to rank five activities and their level of anticipated participation, they don’t hold students to their decision. If your application demonstrates intellectual firepower, Harvard will admit you regardless of what activities you want to pursue if admitted to campus.
