Mistake in application - but not your typical.

Contact the admissions processor assigned to your file and tell him/her to please make the change on your application. Don’t go into explanations about how this name came from Duke, etc. Just say it was an error on your part. I think making the correction is good because it shows that you are both meticulous and considerate of this college individually.
Normally, this kind of thing does turn colleges off, but here it is softened by the fact that you are applying EDII, which is binding, so it is clear that you are now commmiting to the college if accepted.
