After many careful checks, I still made a ridiculously dumb mistake on my application. I forgot to outline volunteering at a hospital for over a year (still am). The problem was that it was supposed to be combined with another activity to save room. I submitted last night and realized the mistake this morning.

So, that's just not getting on there, right?

AMCAS is closed right now but I'm pretty sure they won't make changes to the activities section. It's my own fault and doesn't hurt my application much (2 years as EMT plus 1 at a clinic should be enough clinical experience), but I'd like to somehow convey my experience there.

Should I just bring it up at interviews (if I get any), or would I be better off contacting each school directly?
 
Send update letters to schools that accept them. Discuss it in your interviews. Donezo.
 
That's what I figured I should do. I guess working on those activities for 2 straight weeks wasn't enough :laugh: Thanks for the response.
