So basically, I was looking through my application from a few cycles ago and found that some of the activities that I hadn't kept records for had weird hours. I guess I just quickly guessed and succumbed to the impulse to pad them sometimes. Like one of the activities I put 23 hours but now that I'm thinking about it, I would really only say it was about 8-10 maybe less. (Maybe more, but I just don't remember it well enough). There are a few activities like that.

I will be more conservative and thorough with my estimates on my next application, but I really don't want to get in on anything, but my own merit so is there a chance that adcoms will look at my past application and any of the inaccuracies will somehow help me? Or do I just forget it and try to correct as best I remember on my next app.
 
I wouldn't even bother putting something in only did for like 10 hours anyway. Leave fluff off. I'd consider fluff anything under 50-100 hours unless it was a time-gated activity that was very meaningful.
 
Just forget about it and fill the app out accurately this time around. You’re fine
