During college, I have worked quite extensively in the advertising department of my school newspaper; I've run the gamut of all the positions, including the general ads manager (during the summers of 05 and 06 where we only do a weekly paper as opposed to a daily paper). Anyways, in my primary application I mentioned that I was elected to the ads manager position for the fall of 06'; it turns out that literally two weeks after I submitted my primary to AMCAS that my old manager decided she wanted to continue her position into the fall 06' semester (which technically she can do, but we havne't done it in the 3 years that I've worked there).
Anyways, my questions is this: should I send an update to schools telling them that I am actually not the advertising manager this semster? I could also mention it in interviews, but wasn't sure if it even really mattered (but I don't want to make myself look better than I really am). Any thoughts?
 
i'd refrain from any negative sorta updates. just explain it during the interview if it comes up... that's what I did. I wrote on my AMCAS i'd be shadowing a doc over the summer (the guy agreed thru email) then he just stopped responding. literally. so i just found another guy to shadow and during my interviews i just said "oh actually things with dr. so and so didn't work out so instead I shadowed dr. so and so." i'm sure you can formulate something similar, like the general ads manager part.
