Hi! I am a current EY2022 applicant who graduated in May 2021 so I am doing a gap year. Due to COVID-19 my plans were extremely tenuous at the beginning of the application cycle so I put down one of my degree plan options on the primary (Plan B), and then both of my possible options on all of the gap year essays (Plans A&B) but did not commit to one. Long story short, I was offered a full-time job where I was interning which was slightly better, but basically the same as my original Plan A. Since that happened, I dropped out of my Plan B degree plan and enrolled in my Plan A which is completely different.
Normally I would not update schools until there was something much more substantial, but this involves drastic degree plan changes (which I had on the AMCAS primary) and I was super flaky in all of my gap year essays cause I had no idea what was going to work out. I saw somewhere that if you drastically change your degree plan, then you should update all of the schools, but I was not sure if I should do that pre-interview. I've already gotten one rejection so I don't want them to reject me with not-up-to-date information.
I have updated all of the schools that allow an update in their portal, but I applied to 35-40 schools so there are several who do not have update boxes. So do I reach out to all of the schools who do not have application update boxes in their portals? Do I do that pre-interview?
I wish I could update the AMCAS primary with this info but they don't allow changes unlike TMDSAS which was super great and allowed me to change most of this info.
