So I'm currently in this research program in my school that ends in august. At the end of the program I will present my project at a symposium held by the institute. In addition, my mentor told me I could present my project at the National Research Honors Society (Sigma Xi) in san Francisco comes October. I was totally down to do it. So when i finished describing my research in the activities section on AMCAS, i mentioned that I will be presenting my project at both the institute AND this national meeting, and submitted.

For a number of reasons, it became apparent that I MAY not end up presenting at sigma ( i will present locally though). How serious is this? Will it be looked at as lying? do interviews/acceptance decisions typically happen before October? if it is brought up in the interview, is it harmless if I just mention that it didn't go through? My application is not verified yet; if i withdraw so i can remove that sentence, can I resubmit again this cycle?? any input from those with knowledge about the matter is appreciated

Don't withdraw if it'll delay your app, just answer honestly if it comes up as you have a legit reason. But 99% chance this will never come up. You'll be fine.

If you withdraw through AMCAS, which you can do if not yet verified, you are barred from applying again this cycle.

From p60 of the AMCAS Application Guide: Withdrawing Your Application

Withdrawing your application is final. Once you do so, you may no longer apply for the current application year. To withdraw your AMCAS application from consideration, log in to the AMCAS application and click Withdraw Application on the right side of the Main Menu. This option is available only after submission when your application is in one of the following statuses: Submitted to AMCAS–Ready for Review; Submitted to AMCAS–Waiting for Transcripts; or Returned. The initial processing fee is nonrefundable, but you will receive a refund for each additional school designation whose deadline has not passed. If you need to withdraw your application from consideration after your AMCAS application has been processed, you will need to contact directly the medical schools to which you applied. You are not eligible for an AMCAS refund in this case.

You cannot edit that section of your application once submitted. Also, as said above, withdrawals are permanent. Just leave it, and if asked in an interview be honest.
