AHHHHHHHHHHH! What am I doing wrong? AMCAS will NOT indent my first paragraph. NO MATTER WHAT I DO, the first paragraph is never indented. I know it probably doesn't matter but it is driving me crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😡

 

[Shredder]

eh, i just put spaces between my paragraphs. i think the white space looks better anyway.

It wouldn't let me indent my first paragraph either. I wouldn't worry about it.

Put in a bunch of periods and then put spaces after it, like:


. . . . . I always knew I wanted to be a doctor, ever since I logged onto SDN. Blahblahblah.

Why would you want to indent your paragraphs? That's just 5 wasted characters that could be put to better use.

amcas doesnt let you format the personal statement guys. it just ends up looking like one rambling page of text after you submit.

i know, i wish they had told you that before.

What you need to do for PS:

Instead of indentations, use an extra paragraph space(hit enter 2x)

That is all.


Mine looks pretty enough to know it's a new paragraph.

Weird, that's how I started mine...

they let you use hard returns, which you can see when you "print" your AMCAS as a PDF. Mine looked like:

Last year we were recommending that people post their PS in a .txt file, save it, close it, open it, and copy it before posting it.
