I had two versions - one 700 words and one 500. I sent the 700 word version to a school with a 500 word limit, and it says it was transmitted.
In LSAC it will let me delete/change my personal statement file, but I'm guessing that doesn't matter since it's already been transmitted?
So are my chances pretty much destroyed at this point? Should I even bother e-mailing the correct version? Is that worse than just leaving the wrong version?

Contact the admissions folks via email or phone call and advise them of what happened, and email the correct personal statement. And relax.

Just kidding, don't worry about it. Worst case they deduct 1-2 LSAT from your application, which in the grand scheme of things isn't too bad.
