line breaks in amcas

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. 🙂
