It's tricky but you could effectively say you did not feel it was appropriate to cite it given the extremely short-term nature of your time there. You could even go so far as to argue that the assignment was considered temporary. Even if they pick up on this omission, it's unlikely the school will rescind your acceptance.

For peace of mind, do not think about it now. If and when it comes up (and, again, that's unlikely) you can reach back out to us here for additional assistance.

Have faith,

Short work experience - omit? [#permalink]

Yep. That's really my point - what are the odds of rescinding an offer in a scenario of omitting/lying by omission, shortly before the start of the program/while enrolling in a program?
I'm no legal expert, but a school pretty much exposes itself to legal liability in case they rescind an offer in a scenario like this. I mean, unless the school shows that it has applied a similar strict background check to each and every admit, one could argue that the school discriminates against that particular student that has omitted some info from his app.
Obviously, if one was straight up lying about his/her UG degree or mentioned a workplace he/she didn't work at then that's an entirely different scenario.

It's very hard to speculate about this generally, particularly with so many hypothetical variables.

If I were you, I would sit back and let things play out. If it comes to something this contested, you can always speak with counsel and determine the appropriate course of action at this time.

I know that may be unsettling, but your only other option is to put this short stint on your resume and play it out that way. That seems like the clearer way to put yourself in a bind.
