Default How concerned should I be?

Sooo...I overstayed my B1/B2 Visa for 16 days (that's days - not
months). I'm assuming that Visa was voided. However, I was admitted
into grad school after and reapplied succesfully for new F-1 Visa
which is now in my possesion. Now, nevertheless, I'm worried about
being "delayed" (aka hassled, interrogated and detained) at my Point
of Entry when I reenter the United States. Keep in mind, the visa on
which I overstayed was my old B1/B2 and the visa on which I am
reentering is a new F1.

Thank you.

Hmmm... 16 days is nothing! Besides you're now travelling on a valid F1 visa, so unless you're specifically asked about the former B1/B2 visa, don't even mention it. If you are asked about it, don't lie... but I doubt it'll even be mentioned.

Assuming you answered all the quesitons on your DS-156 correctly when
you applied for the F-1, the overstay was declared then and has been
dealt with. There ought not to be any special worry when you enter.

There's always a chance of hassle; there's no particular reason why
you should get any more than anyone else.

Don't piss of the poe officer and they won't even bother into your B1/B2
since you are travelling on F1 now.

Cheers.
