Missing GPA on Common App

Hi,

I accidentely submitted applications to Cornell, Columbia, and Penn without a GPA. I am wondering how big a deal this is. Should I email the schools so they can update my application with a GPA? I have a 4.6 weighted, 4.0 unweighted.
I was waiting to fill in my GPA until my first semester grades came in, because my senior year course load raised my grade point average. However, I forgot to go back and fill that information in because the application said every section was filled in. Don’t know why the GPA section is optional… Anyway, some people have said that it doesn’t matter because schools recalculate GPAs anyway and that emailing would alert admissions that I made a mistake. What do you think? Please help!
Thanks
