I have my first interview coming up and was informed that my reviewer needed additional information regarding what I did last year because it was not clear. I looked back at my primary application and realized that the dates for my 1700 of employment at Starbucks last year are wrong. It says 2013-2014 instead of 2017-2018. Since this was a gap year it probably looks like I didn't do anything or it is confusing. Should I call/email the rest of the schools that are still considering me and inform them of this error?
 
I recommend you send a brief e-mail acknowledging and correcting the error but not trying to explain it. "When entering my experiences, I inadvertently listed my employment with Starbucks as having occurred in 2013-14. This work experience actually occurred in 2017-18, a post-undergraduate gap year." Keep it simple.

Awesome, thank you!
