Thought I would get a part-time job so put it on resume. BUT TURNS OUT I GOT REJECTED!

So I recently made a little mistake when applying for summer analyst positions

I had some quality internship experience which is the highlight of my resume.

But... I made the mistake of putting an insignificant part-time job that I thought I would get on my resume. Think min-wage, retail/sales job. I went and did the interview, thought it went well so I put it on my resume as "Incoming". However, I actually got a rejection email! 

Any tips on what I should do? At least its incoming and not actually started yet on my resume... lol
