Hi all! I know this question has been posed in the past but I wanted some specific insight into my situation. I made what I feel is a decently major mistake on my primary application reported hours for clinical volunteering. I reported an activity that was 68 hours as 168 hours due to accidentally leaving the placeholder "1" in. It was a volunteer activity across 12 months. Is this something worth contacting admissions offices about after submitting secondaries? Obviously, if a school contacted the clinic it would show a major discrepancy which could make me appear dishonest. Thank you!!

No one is likely to notice. In the unlikely event that your activities are verified, it might raise a question. Are you able to acquire more hours there? If yes, I do have an idea. 💡

Unfortunately not :/ I moved far from there but that is a really good thought

How much does this 100-hour error factor into your total clinical experiences?

I have over 2000 clinical hours elsewhere from being an MA, but I just feel like overrepresenting clinical volunteering could be an issue should they contact them.
