Hi all!
I’m lucky enough to have been admitted to a number of great programs and am now prepping to matriculate in the Fall. I was compiling a paper-trail for my ReVera verification process (I’m the co-founder of a small nonprofit, so my process will likely be more involved than just calling an HR rep), and I realized I made a small mistake in reporting my ending salary for a job I left in 2018.
I do not have pay stubs for this role on hand anymore, and when I applied, I listed my ending salary as $65,000; however, I recently found the offer letter for my promotion in my files, and it turns out my ending salary was actually $60,000. I just misremembered the exact amount in my application since it was from nearly 5 years ago. I’m not too concerned about a serious issue because of this, but I’m wondering whether I should preemptively reach out to the admissions office and let them know or if I should go ahead and wait for ReVera to do it’s thing and explain if it comes up then.
Any advice appreciated!

Hi. Congratulations on your admits!
I don't know if Revera will go to verify a job back 5 years ago. Maybe... they will usually reach out and ask for paystubs or W2 to get the details from you but since its been past the IRS cut off time of 3 years, I don't think it is expected you would have them. Anyway, they would reach out to the company and share 65000 in the salary field. Assuming they hear back (I have a feeling they don't always hear back since they were ecstatic recently when I got back with them about one of the candidates involved with GMAT Club). Anyway, I don't think a less than 10% discrepancy warrants an email or explanation since it could have easily been a bonus or memory issue or some comp.
So bottom line:
1. They may not go back 5 years ago
2. They will try to verify but may not hear back
3. I don't think they will care about $5K difference since that may have been bonus/stock options/etc.
