I'm applying to UT Southwestern and this is one of the prompts is:

"Have you engaged in any public service activities for a duration of one year or greater in length (examples: Military, Peace Corps, Teach for America, etc.). Yes or No? If so, please describe the experience and impact on your personal and professional development." (Optional)

I'm about to engage in a service year working at a homeless clinic but I start in August. I mentioned this as a future planned activity but since I haven't started, should I even answer this question or just leave it blank?

leave it blank, they want all-encompassing past experiences like the ones they cited

I agree. The appropriate answer is "no." Projected hours do not count.
