I finished my ERAS application and reviewed it using their "View MyERAS Application" button. I used multiple lines (like a list format) for my awards section and I used multiple short paragraphs for my hobbies section in order to add clarity. When I review the application, the hobbies and awards sections each become one long paragraph. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

I tried adding <br> and <br /> since it is HTML, but that doesn't seem to work for me.
 
Yes, I also had that problem. I ended up just editing it to be a list separated by commas. Apparently any attempt you make to change the formatting will fail.

You can't do line breaks in ERAS. I was astonished too so I called and asked them. Last year. Considering the cost to apply and the currently available technology, it is absolutely mind-boggling to me why this capability does not exist, but it doesn't.
