I submitted my application RD because I wanted to receive a priority alumni interview (the deadline was 12/10), but after being rejected by Cornell ED I had a major epiphany, overhauled my entire personal statement, and made significant updates to my resume.

I want to contact the admissions office and be honest with them (tell them I had this epiphany and simply wanted to reserve a spot for the interview, which is the reason for my premature submission), but I’m not sure if its worth drawing this unnecessary attention to my application. They might think I’m shifty or irresponsible. But on the other hand I think that my old essay is very bad compared to my newly updated one.

Do you think I should try to contact them? If so, how? By phone or by email?

Thank you so much for all of your help everyone!
