<p>I listed a spring sport (track and field) as a 12th grade activity on the Common App even though the season has not started due to the high likelihood I would participate again this year. However, I am now unsure if I will participate in track this season due to a possible needed surgery on my feet. The surgery is a maybe but if I end up not participating in track, do I need to contact the colleges I applied to in order to notify them of this mistake?</p>
<p>If anything turns out to be meaningfully different from what you indicated on your application, notifying the school of the change is appropriate.</p>
<p>…to be honest man, I wouldn’t worry about it. I really don’t think that they are going to care lol. As long as you’re not a recruited athlete that is…</p>
<p>^ It’s possible that they won’t care, but that shouldn’t exactly be one’s test for deciding whether to do something…</p>
