Mistake on AMCAS - Volunteer Hours/Paid

Members don't see this ad.

While reviewing my AMCAS for one of my secondaries I noticed I accidentally labeled a previous job as "Community Service/Volunteer - Not Medical/Clinical." It was a paid job. Somehow I missed this mistake when proofreading my app. I'm worried that this will be a red flag b/c it could look as if I'm trying to say I volunteered 2000+ hours that I didn't.

Is this a big deal? Should I email everywhere I applied to tell them?

You can address the mistake in secondaries or email an update to the schools.
