Changing activity description as reapplicant

I plan to reapply to med schools next cycle.
Last cycle, I had listed an experience of caring for a family member as clinical, since I worked through an agency.
Would it look bad to med schools if, in my next application, I omit that detail/change the activity description so it doesn't sound like I was caring for a relative? After all, my work was an actual job with a caregiving agency.

I would not recommend hiding this fact.

Technicality =/= reality

This is similar to when people click certain ethnic boxes because "technically my country is in this continent"

With your GPA, a SMP might be more fruitful than applying.

Thanks, rather than an SMP, I'm doing a diy postbacc to have an upward trend in grades, following Goro's reinvention suggestions.
