Will this be an issue?

Hi everyone, I am so grateful to have been accepted to a DO school and I will be starting in a few short weeks. On my AACOMAS application, I wrote about my master’s research fellowship I had been rewarded to conduct my own small research project. Basically my masters program has an extracurricular fellowship you can apply for if you want, and I got it. On the application I made it clear that the project was in its early stages and it was not something I had completed yet (I talked about my proposal etc). When I interviewed in October last year, I still thought I could get the project done so I told the interviewers I was working on it and planned to finish it in the summer.

However, during my gap year I had to work full time (60+ hours a week), life and bills got in the way and never got around to completing the project. I am returning the funds back to my masters program. Do I need to tell my DO school that I didn’t finish the project? Do you think they will rescind my acceptance?
Thanks in advance.

@Goro @LizzyM @njbmd and anyone else that can provide insight. Thanks

No one will care or ask you about it.

Lol, forget about it and go be a doctor.

NOT an issue.

I told my school that I was a die hard primary care applicant. I told them that I was going to be a family practice physician in Montana and rid the world of DM and HTN.

I matched in a surgical subspecialty. Suck it, AOA/AACOMAS.

They accepted you. you didn't lie about anything. At that moment in time when you were playing that was the snapshot of your life and your achievements. Things happen. I don't believe the school will go out of it's way to investigate something like that. Just make sure down the road you don't add it to your CV or resume.
