I planned to volunteer in a particular program at a hospital this year while applying to med schools. On one of the secondaries I submitted, I wrote that I'm going through the process of becoming a volunteer there. However, I just found out that it's not going to work out due to a schedule conflict. Should I call this school and let them know that my plans have changed? I'm afraid that it's not going to look good if it ever comes up.
Am I thinking too much? Thanks for any input.

try to find another volunteer position. if it ever comes up then you can just explain what happened and it prob wont look shady if you are volunteering elsewhere.

another thing, if you get another volunteer position it wouldnt hurt to notify the adcoms of your slight change in ec's. you want your app to be crystal clear so that you wont have to worry about anything should you get an interview or an acceptance. if you dont get a volunteering position soon, then update the adcoms, telling them of your situation and that you are currently looking for another volunteer position.
