LIED on application. Am I screwed for the background check?

Listen up my guys, I just accepted an IB job at a top tier BB (think GS/JPM/RBC) and I just realized that I accidentally made a bold faced lie on my application forms. In the experience section, I said my past bank teller internship started on May 3rd, 2018 but it turns out my actual start date was May 4th. Am I completely fucked? Will I be immediately fired and blacklisted by this bank? Blacklisted from all BBs? Blacklisted from the entire industry? Will the FBI be coming to my door? I'm currently sitting in the fetal position balling my eyes out thinking about how I may have just ruined my only chance at becoming a top tier investment banker. Please tell me if I'm fucked or not.

Congrats on the RBC offer. Or should I say, former offer, because they'll get your pasty ass and paint you so black on the list, even Justin Trudeau would say that's offensive.

...and the Truth shall set you free
 

I work at RBC and will re-screen candidate resumes with jobs dated 3 May 2018. I will find you. I will make sure you can never be screend for FO and MO roles. Justice will prevail.
