Online Application - Accidentally listed desired salary too high

College senior graduating 2023- recently applied for an entry-level CRE analyst position. In the “desired salary” section, I made the mistake of listing a numerical range rather than “market”. Turns out, I’d confused it with the estimate from another role and listed a desired base salary range about 10-15k more than Glassdoor estimate . Am I screwed? I’m hoping that it doesn’t negatively effect their perception of me as a candidate. Is there a chance they won’t reach out solely because of the desired salary I listed, even if they like my profile otherwise?
