Small mistake in my application...

I submitted my application in June (6/27 mailing date) and afterwards noticed one mistake. Under Colleges Attended in the Transcript Matching Form area I listed the date for the school I'm taking summer courses at THIS summer (Summer 2011) as Summer of 2012. Oops. Can't believe I didn't catch that, but I can't change it now so what's done is done I guess! Under Coursework I listed all the classes with the correct date though! Looks funny since I have the classes taken in 2011 under the University I "attended" in 2012...

In all of my secondaries I'm not pointing out my mistake, but making it very clear I am taking classes THIS summer and getting my degree in September.

Just wondering if any of you think it will hurt my chances. And please post if you have made any errors on your app as well so that this thread actually has a larger purpose than embarrassing me for my idiotic mistake, haha.

My stats are 20 AA 22 PAT, GPA 3.78, BCP 3.62
(and graduating in three years with a BS in Bio)
Applied to USC, UoP, UCSF, Western, UCLA, UNLV, University of Colorado, Tufts, UPENN, and Nova (and I'm a CA resident)

Don't worry about it. I accidentally posted that one of my undergrad semesters was graduate level and I put that my study abroad was pass/fail but grades showed up and I got multiple interviews and acceptances. My stats were identical to yours and I'm a CA resident too. Also, one of my letters of rec was customized for an entirely different school🙄. Face palm. If your gpa is 3.5+, DAT is 20+, have solid letters of rec, interesting well written letter of intent, and decent extras (awards, honors, shadowing, volunteering, etc.) you will get 5+ interviews. JUST DON'T FLUB THE INTERVIEW! This is what matters most. Prepare for that and you will be fine. Don't worry about minor mistakes on the AADSAS and focus on submitting secondaries, app fees, photos, and preparing for the interview. 👍

One more thing. You can contact the AADSAS people and they will make changes to your app even after it is sent out because mistakes are supposed to be caught by the reviewer too. Therefore, they count it as a mistake on their part and resend the app free of charge. That is what they did for me anyway.
