So I must've started entering my Shadowing experience, and then changed my mind and entered one of my internships as the experience. I am just bugging because it was for 400 hours over two months (~50hr/week) and the type says shadowing, then it goes on to talk about my internship.. I called amcas, some lady basically read me a script as to when you submit blah blah you can't change it. THANKS.. I called a med school admissions and she said "yeah just email us about it when we start sending out secondaries"

Will this affect my verification time? As in they will think I'm lying about an experience? Or does verification only have to do with transcripts and coursework?

Just transcripts and coursework

Chill out, don't be so neurotic. If this small of a mistake trips you up this badly then the application and interview tour is going to be rough.

Did you not proofread your app at all? Just trying to figure out how that happened.

Did you not proofread your app at all? There's probably bigger mistakes than this if that is the case.

Uncalled for?

Thanks everyone, scratch softballguy96.. but yeah I'm not that worked up over it, just didn't want it to mess with verification.

I think so long as the title and description checks out, it'll be fine.
