Hey all, when I submitted my AMCAS back in June I listed a volunteer activity I was planning to do, from June - Aug 2015, and entered an estimate for the total hours. Shortly after that, I had to relocate to another city for work/financial reasons unexpectedly, and I wasn't able to even get started on the activity. I've been trying to get involved in a similar activity in my new city, but so far have had no luck. I realize this was my mistake, and I shouldn't have listed the activity, but I obviously can't change that now so I'm looking for a little advice on how to proceed.
I've been accepted at one of my top choices, but they did not accept updates of any kind pre interview or acceptance, so I was never able to let them know about my change in plans (I did for schools that accepted updates). I'm worried this may come up if/when they do verification of my activities. My question is, should I contact the admissions office now, directly, and ask if this puts my acceptance in jeopardy? The other option is to not say anything, and hope they don't care if/when they verify it because I mentioned it as a 'planned' activity. I'm leaning towards the former, because if they rescind my acceptance now, I still have a shot at other schools where I've been accepted who might take a different stance, whereas if they find this out on their own, later, it may have been past the point where I've dropped others and I'm left with nothing. Any advice? Am I worrying too much?
I should note, the activity wasn't necessarily unique or special, and wasn't indicated as most meaningful, but it would have been a large chunk #'s wise in my overall application.
