No paragraph breaks for most meaningful essay on AMCAS

[nm825]

When I click my work/activity tab on AMCAS and a summary of all my activities shows, I click "show details." When I look at my most meaningful essays, they're all just a blog on words; there's no paragraph breaks. Is this like that for everyone. When I click on the actual activity to edit it, the paragraph breaks do exist. Is anyone else having this issue?

Anyone? I would really like to submit my primary tonight, but I can't figure this out.

When I filled it out a couple years ago it was like that as well. I don't think paragraphs are allowed.

Paragraphs are allowed. I think the consensus has been that adcoms will see it the way it looks when you fill it out, with paragraph breaks.

If you look at the PDF of your entire app the breaks will be there. If you go into the individual activities though the breaks probably won't show up. That's how it worked for me anyway.

I agree with CharmanderMD. The PDF view seems to be the final format of your application. The preview and HTML view don't seem to show formatting.

You can access the PDF view from the Main Menu, click on Print Application, and choose PDF. You don't have to actually print it to get a look at the formatting.
