<p>My mentor for my internship wrote me a recommendation letter but he screwed up the dates and it doesn't correlate with my Common App. I had interned for three years but he said I interned for two years. Is that bad? Should I call the school?</p>
<p>Also when I went to the school for an interview - I had made a resume. But it was made in a rush so some of the dates are also off - The regional adviser kept the resume.</p>
<p>What am I suppose to do?!</p>
<p>My friend tells me that I should just let it go - and that they probably might not notice. But I don't want them to think I lied.</p>
<p>Have the mentor write them another letter or contact them himself about it.</p>
<p>call the school(s) concerned definitely. even if they don't care/ notice the disparity they'll still appreciate your honesty/integrity/concern. </p>
<p>I'm guessing you can't change the common app after submission? If possible tryto get the mentor to drop the school a note too, that'd be the best thing. </p>
<p>be careful how you word the second part though - you don'twant themto think resum</p>
<p>The thing is that - my mentor has already done so much for me. And my mom wants me to just call in and tell them that I had made a mistake about the dates. Because she feels that me interning for 2 or 3 years won't make a difference. If I do that and call in and tell them it was me who made the mistake - would that reflect badly on me?</p>
