I was having some problems with AMCAS. On the personal statement, they say 5300 character limit but when you look at the print out copy of the AMCAS, everything after 5210 is omitted. I had to complete a sentence, and it got erased. Anybody having similar problems?
Also, on the MCAT/Other tests section, they say that you dont have to designate your MCATs since AMCAS has a copy and sends it to your med schools. Yet on the damn printout, I dont see my MCAT scores. Does this mean AMCAS doesnt have my scores.
THANKS FOR HELPING ME OUT!
 
1. My essay didn't get cut off (and it's 5298 characters 🙂 ). Are you using Internet Explorer? AMCAS recommends that for the sections in which word count is used.

2. MY MCAT scores are there on the printout, too. Hmm. From what I hear, people's scores have been filling in randomly. Check every so often, and if they're not there by the time you need to submit, give 'em a call!

Good luck!
