1. I attended two high schools, although AMCAS seems to only allow me to enter one. Am I missing some option here, or should I simply list the high school from which I graduated?
2. I have 2 withdrawals from my freshman year. When I entered these courses, I obviously had no grade, so I selected the "withdrawal" option at the bottom. After entering in all my courses and clicking "done", I got a notification in red text that I listed some courses without grades/credits - obviously, these were the courses I received Ws in, so I don't have any grades for those courses - should I therefore just ignore that message?
3. Why do I need to provide contact information for every single activity/hobby/EC that I have done? I find this ridiculous. Sure, for a job, it's expected, and I've provided contact information for certain individuals from all my previous jobs. But what about for things like club sports? Or volunteer activities? I signed up for these activities and simply attended and participated - I never once met anyone who was "in charge", and even if I had, I certainly wouldn't have their full name, email address, and phone number. Is there a way around this?
Another example - A paper of mine was published in a journal, yet I still have to enter in contact information for this - which makes zero sense. I simply submitted my paper to a journal, and it was accepted and published - there isn't any "contact" to list for this. What are we supposed to do in these situations?
