Question about AMCAS Primary app mistake

Hey folks,

After submitting all of my secondaries (finally sent off the last one), I realized that I made a small error on my primary application. In the Work/Activities section, I submitted the incorrect end date for my scribing activity; 10-2017 through 11-2019, when I actually stopped 11-2018. I cannot change this in the primary, and some schools do not permit updates to the application until later in the process. Should I inform each school, or simply update my applications when interviews come around?

Are the # of hours correct? I would argue that the # of hours spent is more important than the timeline.

What's done is done. No point in stressing out over something that can't be changed. The one-year difference won't be noticeable unless you were previously averaging 60+hours each week for scribing. Most likely adcoms will be more focused on the hours of time spent scribing vs time frame.

Hours are correct, and in most secondaries I mention when I stopped scribing for the "what have you done since graduation". Thank you for the feedback!
