Medical How fatal is this mistake on AMCAS Primary?

[GoSpursGo]

Hi. I recently submitted AMCAS and I noticed that I made a mistake, please let me know how bad it is.

I've done research from 07/2017 - 02/2020. In Dec. 2018, I switched labs and won a summer fellowship for lab#2 for the summer of 2019.

For the research activity on AMCAS, for the dates section, I wrote 07/2017 - 02/2020, which is accurate. However in the activity description I write "....During Dec. 2019, I joined [lab#2] and studied..." This is the mistake. Instead of writing Dec. 2018, I wrote Dec. 2019. The recommendation letter from my PI has the correct information, which says that I joined his lab in Dec. 2018, so there is an inconsistency.

How fatal is this mistake? Will it affect my chances at getting an Interview? Thank you for the help

Chill out. This is nothing.

I would not be concerned at all. If they have questions at an interview you can clarify within a few seconds. Good luck!

No worries. Not a big deal. If someone (they won’t) ask about it it can always be cleared up in your interview.
