Date Mistake on AACOMAS EC!

So I JUST found out about a date error in my AACOMAS EC section.

One activity that I did was from May 2009-July 2009, but on my application, I put May 2011-July 2011! The hours remain the same.

Since I can still edit my AACOMAS, can I just change the year and the system will automatically update everything?

And my application has already been verified/released, and I've received all DO secondaries.

I think AACOMAS re-sends everything on Tuesday if you make changes in your primary application, including dates of activities and such.

Have you made those changes already?

I wouldn't even bother sending in the secondaries, this cycle is over for you OP.





kidding 😀

Just make the change and you'll be fine lol.

Yes I did!

But if schools receive an updated primary, will they be confused and send me secondary applications...a second time? Are post-verification updates/corrections common? Should I email my schools as well?

I can't believe I didn't catch that! Fortunately, the length of commitment/number of hours remain the same, so I dont think schools would get the idea that I tried to fudge my numbers.

Your app hasn't even been reviewed yet, it's fine.

What do you mean? I've already received all my secondary applications.

Don't worry, it will be fine. I had to make a couple of modifications after I submitted and the schools weren't confused when sending secondaries.

And this might be a slight tangent. But if I am looking to complete my DO applications (including secondaries and LORs) by mid September, that's still considered fairly early/on time for DO schools, right?

I know that for MD schools, you got to complete things earlier. But it seems that it is commonly viewed that the DO cycle is longer.
