Help! I think I made a mistake.

Background: while I was an undergrad 16 years ago, my brother and my cousins helped me move into my dorm room. It was a non co-ed dorm at a very religious university, so someone complained about males being on the female dorm floor. I was 21, stubborn and stupid, and didnt think it was a big deal to have my family carry boxes and a TV to my room in less than 20 minutes. I remember having to speak with our residence dean about the complaint but I honestly dont remember anything else about the event. We did not have any RAs and our residence dean acted as a RA, mother figure, counselor, and she led our weekly worship. So I was not sure if this was an IA or just a counseling session? I was told by numerous physicians and a retired professor of my undergrad that it's not an IA, but I am so scared it might be marked somewhere in my "file".

I did try to investigate this by calling my UG last year to check up on my record and they gave me the number to the current Dean of student affairs. I left her 2 messages and emailed her, she never responded. I called the general phone number to the school again this February and I was passed around a couple of times before someone came on the line to say he "didnt see anything" on my file.

I am really worried because it felt so unofficial and I have this feeling that maybe I didnt dig deep enough? I'm not trying to be dishonest on my application, and I am really worried I marked NO to the IA question when maybe I should have marked YES?

Should I contact AMCAS, withdraw all my applications and withdraw from my 2 upcoming interviews until I get an official record? I emailed my UG again 2 weeks ago about my official record and I still did not get a reply 🙁.

I dont know what to do. Please advise.

😱 Oh my goodness 😱Yes! withdraw from everything STAT! Your future of being a physician sailed out the door the minute you clicked no instead of yes!!!

😆Just kidding 😉

Thank you guys for replying. I'm really worried and hoping I didnt misrepresent myself or commit AMCAS fraud by not disclosing it. I will try to chill.

your neuroticism and anxiety is common and shared by many pre-meds. Just chill, you did your best and represented yourself correctly to the best of your knowledge. That's all you can do.

If this is your response to uncertainty, please don't go into medicine.
