Mistakes and supplemental essay

So, I submitted my MIT application on January 1. I really enjoyed the whole application process but now I am like freaking out. I wrote down an essay of 440 words for “Are you still attending school? If no, please inform us on a separate sheet of paper what you have been doing since you left school.”. But, when I clicked on the “validate the application” button, I was told to cut-down the words of the essay. I made it to 415 words but forgot to transfer the information in the additional information section. Without realizing the error I submitted the application. The information was really important as it talked about my art-work. Is there any way to correct that part? Should I send it as a short supplemental essay?
Also, in one of the non-scholastic distinctions, I marked “school” instead of “regional” by mistake. Can the correction be made? I am really concerned about the thing. What should I do now?
