AMCAS Experience Type Mistake

I mislabeled leadership experience that I had within organizations I was a part of during my undergrad as "extracurriculars" because they were associated with student-run organizations. I also accidentally labeled an internship as a poster presentation because I wanted to highlight the research symposium I attended but am now realizing that it should have been labeled as research. Neither of these are super big deals, but I was wondering if I should reach out to ADCOMS to correct this or if I should just leave it alone. I think it's important to mention that my descriptions do explain the experiences well and definitely clarify the nature of the experience, but I also know it's important for ADCOMS to have the correct context.

What are your thoughts?

Leave it alone IMO, when reviewing their app they will understand what you did as long as you described it well. Realistically a lot of positions could fit multiple categorizations loosely

For example — i was in an elected position in undergrad that paid a stipend. Could be classified as employment, leadership, or extracurricular. Not something to worry about

No. Your app is cooked. We'll handle it from here.

we're not that stupid, if your experiences have intuitive titles and appropriate descriptions, it'll be fine. just move on
