I would have.

Also, if you were asked filled out an application, what did you list under education?

Best of luck to you!

The resume contained outdated info, not a lie, you were honest about it in the online applicaiton, and you were honest about it in the interview. They would be essentially revoking your job offer for a proofreading error.

Assuming there aren’t more details to it, I would recommend approaching it from that mental stance. Call the hiring manager and say tell him or her you’re morified about it, you would never be deceptive about this, and in fact you were very up front about it in the online application and in the interview. Ask what can be done to clear it up now. It really doesn’t sound like you lied (as so many others do), so proceed accordingly!
