<p>I applied to a large state school EA and got accepted in December. On one of the EC spaces, I put that I would be representing my high school as team captain of the quiz bowl at our state Beta Club Convention this spring. This was not a lie, as I really was chosen for the position and planned to attend at the time. However, I have ran into some unforeseen financial and family issues and I will not be able to go on the trip. Should I email the school about the correction? I do not want my acceptance rescinded over this, and I'm afraid if they check they will realize that I didn't take the position. Some of my friends said not to worry because they won't review accepted applications for EC flaws. I'm still worried though. Any advice?</p>
<p>Where is it? It depends on the school.</p>
<p>You should not worry about this. Schools don’t check ECs, and even if they did, they would understand the situation you faced. Talk to your GC to see if it would be worth emailing the school. Chances are if they are a large state school they won’t care greatly.</p>
<p>It doesn’t even matter…
Don’t get stressed over something so trivial.</p>
<p>But then again if you email the school and provide good explantion with a place for them to confirm your story, you may earn extra points for strong moral fiber</p>
<p>^ Or they’ll just perceive you as plain annoying.</p>
<p>That’s kind of my dilemma. I don’t want to pester them if it really is trivial, but it might be better to offer an explanation before (or if) they find out.</p>
<p>It is not worth it. One EC isn’t going to determine whether you get accepted, rejected, or rescinded.</p>
<p>Just realized that you said large state school. Never mind, dont sweat it.</p>
<p>Just don’t worry and let it slide, as others have said.</p>
