Stupid mistake on resume- is this is a big deal or am I overthinking?

Applied to an IBD summer analyst intern position at a BB. I read on here that if you have an ethnic name (me) it's good to list your high school and the dates you attended to show you're fluent in English. So I listed my high school last-minute after I did a dozen checks on everything else...I noticed after I submitted it that I forgot to list both the location and the years attended for my high school. It just says High School Name with a bullet under it that has my hs gpa. For what it's worth, it's pretty obvious by the high school name that it's a domestic school. I've been staring at it for a bit now and the white space where location/years should be seems obnoxious. Am I being overly paranoid or, given this is IBD at a BB, is this something they'll definitely notice that could potentially be the reason I'm dinged?

Damn really? This is for a small, relatively obscure office (not NYC, Chicago etc.), so I imagine they'd have significantly fewer applicants/more time per applicant.

Since this is not a spelling/grammar error my guess is they won't notice, but since I listed my hs at the top of my resume right under college (I'm a sophomore), there's an obnoxious white space below where it has my college location/graduation date.

 

I think you are overthinking it. Even if you are not, there is no point to worry about it since you most likely can't resubmit your resume. To my knowledge, only a few banks allow you to update your resume once the application is submitted...

Just chill man. Enjoy life or keep preping don't worry lol.
