Would my acceptance be in jeopardy if I could not take some planned classes?

So I got accepted to my first choice med school, and I've already graduated with my BS degree. In my primary app, I mentioned four classes I planned to take this semester through my local community college, but was able to enroll only in two (the other classes filled up before I could register). Would this jeopardize my acceptance? Anyone with similar experience? Any advice is appreciated.

BTW, I've already taken all the course prerequisites for this med school, and the classes I planned to take this semester were just something to keep me busy during my gap year after I graduated.

First, it's "I was" not " were" (you're using the indicative mood). Sorry, knee-jerk response on that.

Ask the school(s). It's the only way to know for sure. My guess would be that unless you promised you'd take them and it was a condition of your acceptance, you should be fine, but call them and ask.
 
No, they are 'planned'. I think it's even addressed on amcas that it's your plans, but that if you don't take a class, it's ok, ie., not considered lying on your app.

As long as you complete your degree (check for you) and complete the pre-reqs (you also said you did this), did not lie on app, and did not have a huge change in school performance after acceptance, and pass the background check, they will not withdraw your acceptance. (There may be 1 or 2 other things in small print that will allow them to withdraw, but those listed are all the biggies.)
