Knight-Hennessy Scholar Application Mistake

As I was reviewing my Knight-Hennessy application at Stanford, I realized that I misspelled the name of the program a few times throughout my application (spelling it: Knights Hennessey). I don't know how I did not notice this before submission, but I'm concerned that this ruins my chances, especially considering it is an extremely competitive program. This program is kinda the dream for me so I'm not too sure what to do now, and I was thinking about sending the program an email acknowledging this spelling error. Should I ask them if I can go in and correct the mistake since the application is not reviewed until October? There is an option to withdraw the application, do you think it's possible to resubmit? Ugh a mess about it so I would appreciate any constructive advice y'all have to offer.

Just leave it. It's better not to draw attention to the mistake.

I would say it doesn’t bode well. You can hope that they wont notice. Best not to email or ask to make changes as @bluepeony suggests
