line breaks in amcas

[flip_d]

for me it seems that line breaks (blank lines achieved by hitting the enter key) work properly in the personal statement sections but NOT in the work/activities section. i understand that most descriptions in the work/activities section should be only one paragraph, but for listing paper/poster citations, this is pretty inconvenient.

so my questions are:

1) has it also been true in your experience that line breaks do not work in the work/activities section?

2) will med schools see exactly what i see when i click 'print application' and view the pdf? if so, perhaps i could just manually insert a ton of spaces and fiddle until things look ok based on the pdf. but this would of course be a disaster if med schools viewed the application even slightly differently than how i see it in the pdf.

thanks a lot in advance for any help

I think they see the same thing as you do with the pdf. I could be wrong. Let others back me up on this.

I just wrote mine as big paragraphs. I don't think you can do bullet points or mini paragraphs. I'm going to go ahead and move your thread to pre-allo; I think you'll get more answers there. to you. 🙂
