Memory Loss - How relevant for AAMCAS in applying?

As I'm sure most of the people reading this thread are nontraditional, I pose this question:

How relevant is your past life experience? It's easier for someone who was pre-med BS Biology applying to medical school their junior year to remember their most significant life-defining moment or to chronologically account for all their volunteer and work experience...

But what about those of us who have been around the block?

Is there a way to apply for AAMCAS without sending out the applications? I just want to know what I need to remember so I can get it all together, lol.

Anyone else has this issue? Life happens.

IIRC you can take a look at this year's AMCAS and just not submit anything if you want to poke around. Unless someone else can verify for sure though, that I'd call AAMC on Monday and ask.

If you go to https://students-residents.aamc.org/search/?q=amcas_instruction_manual.pdf and download the instruction manual, starting on page 15 they tell you every last bit of info you need.

I used my CV to get things that were important and then friends/family to add the rest. I know I didn't include everything but since I only had 15 spots, it lent itself easily to picking the one thing per category which I did for the longest time.
