Many secondaries ask what you will be doing between the time you apply and the time you enroll. When I wrote these, I kept it fairly vague for many of them, but some I discussed a pretty specific volunteer activity that I was getting into.
The problem is, the position fell through. While I was initially told that I could definitely start volunteering "very soon" (even attended an orientation), they eventually ended up telling me all the slots were either full, or you needed a minimum of a CNA. Long story short, I'm unable to volunteer there.
I know that schools generally don't take "future plans" all that seriously, but for at least a few of them I wrote it like I will definitely be starting there (I thought I was...).
-Do I need to send these schools an update letter to let them know that I'm not doing it?
-Would it be better to find another position at a similarly-themed organization so that I can follow through on my stated plans?
-How much would you think schools care about these types things not happening?
