Ok, so I'm surprisingly super calm waiting for next week.
However, today I decided to go over my PDF application and guess what? I found another mistake on the work experience section. Geez. Instead of 'months of work experience' I put 'years'. So it basically says I have 3 months of work experience when I meant years...
With that said, now I am pretty much 100% sure they won't invite me to an interview.
It sucks because HBS was the first deadline so I feel like all the silly mistakes were made on that app - my top choice. *sigh*
Have you put job dates on your resume? Like worked at xxx corp from xx.xx.xxxx to xx.xx.xxxx
Yes, of course. My resume shows all my positions and dates in my company so it's pretty clear that I have worked there since 2008, still... I mean, silly mistake which will probably make them look down on me =[
I'm so sad because everything else, specially my essays, are really good. They are actually my favorite batch of essays of the schools I'm applying. But, I made 2 silly errors on the work experience section =[
You are fine, its not like they only look at the question of how many months of work experience you have before deciding to look at your resume and make sense of it. Keep thinking that you wont get an interview and certainly you wont get one... dont jinx yourself into rejection. I am sure this little typo does not affect your chances at all.
By the way I wanted to share with you guys some stats I found from the class of 1996... look at GMAT
