Screwed up Summer Job Dates -- advice?

So I filled out the section for jobs on the common information form and incorrectly put that I worked a summer job from June - August when it should have been from May - August (as it says on my resume). Since it was on the common info form, it went out to the first batch of schools I applied to, before I caught it on my 2nd batch.

Should I tell those schools that I made a mistake, or is it better to just not say anything. I guess the good news is I give myself less credit by putting that I worked 1 less month.

I idiotically listed every job that started or ended in March as "05" on the DD/MM/YYYY sections. It hasn't seemed to hurt me too much so far.
