I did worse. I thought the admissions dean was a woman and it was a man. Name could be either but is more often male, but I have a friend (female) with his name. Addressed him as “Ms.” at least five times. I just apologized: “Excuse me for using the wrong form of address. I first saw your name in the e-mail, not on the website accompanied by your picture.”

I think you should write them immediately and make a short and clear statement that you are a male, and that you must have checked the wrong box by mistake.

I don’t think they will assume it was on purpose, especially not if you clear it up right now. They will probably just chuckle and change it. THey know you were nervous and focused on other things.

Good luck!
