No "most meaningful" option on AACOMAS ECs?

[Sean Lee]

On the ECs/Work Experiences section of AACOMAS, I am not seeing any option to indicate that an activity is the "most meaningful".

Does this mean that I'll have no way to go into depth regarding my three most meaningful activities? This is a shame...

You'll also notice that the AACOMAS doesn't ask for contact information for your ECs as well. Like they don't even ask you for supervisor name, contact info, city and state.

That came off awfully suggestive to me.

I don't see anything sexual about it?

Care to explain?

They don't ask for contact info? Doesn't aacomas ask for some sort of letter from your volunteer work etc? I worked many jobs throughout undergrad and HS, and id rather not give contact info of some supervisors.

Some schools will ask you in the secondary what is the most significant volunteering you have done thus far. Keep in mind everyone else will be on the same page in not allowing extra reflection in a certain EC, so it keeps somewhat of a level playing field. This is just my 2 cents!

This has been eating away at me. I made all my AMCAS descriptions really concise with the knowledge that I'd have the opportunity to explain the ones that really mattered but 750 characters really isn't enough for me to do both.

Did you all simply explain what your duties were throughout the experience or did you somehow also find the space to reflect on why it was meaningful too?

Your words can do the job

Write some words and the adcoms can extrapolate the meaning that experience had for you

 

[Sean Lee]

Sorry about the tangent, but I am excited that my AMCAS has been verified!!!

I love that about AACOMAS! I hate writing about the same thing over and over again. SO ANNOYING! Just let me write about it once and they can ask me about it again during my interview!
