Wrong Reference?

Hello,

I received an acceptance this cycle at a school I'm very excited about. I'm being so paranoid because as a career-changer, nontraditional, a lot of question marks on my application it feels too good be true, and in doing so I realized I put the wrong reference down for an EC. I changed chapters within the same organization, so I would prefer to use one from the new chapter anyway, and I accidentally put the wrong phone number by one digit. Is this something I should call the school to correct or only if they are checking ECs and ask for a different reference? I think I spoke briefly about this experience in my interview but I'm nervous about the worst possible scenario, like an acceptance being rescinded. Thanks

You made an honest typo on a phone number that they probably will not call. Take the acceptance and enjoy your day 🙂.

If they do go to verify and are unable to, then I would imagine they would first contact you about it (or use other information you provided)

OP, I agree. The school would reach out to you for more/corrected information.
