I would email them if it’s bothering you. For my applications to Barnard and Dartmouth (if I’m remembering correctly) I accidentally left the description of an activity on the common app half-completed, which was quite a silly error. Emailed them about the mistake and still got in.

However, if the mistake occupies more than one sentence–like about how great it is that these specific alumni influence the school’s culture or something–I would just cross my fingers and hope for the best. Not much you can do about that without rewriting the essay in your email.
