1. For the AACOMAS, it appears that there is no topic for the PS. So, I can talk about anything?

2. For the work experience section, honors/awards/scholarships section, and extracurricular/volunteering/community service section, there appears to be no space provided for references. Is it advisable to include my references' contact information in the descriptions for each item?

1. Generally the topic of the Personal Statement is "Why are you choosing medicine?" Good to talk about what motivates you to be a doctor...

2. Don't need to include contact information for ECs on the AACOMAS. Some secondaries ask you for contact information (SOMA). You're given very little space to write as it is, so maximize what you want to say in those 750 characters.


P.S. You're asking questions which I know have already been answered before. Please do some research/searching.

When I joined SDN, I wasn't very familiar with the rules, and I actually cross-posted sometimes. However, I believe that I am now more familiar with the rules. I have actually started going through all of the threads that pop up when you type a subject for a new thread. I did that in this case as well, and none of the threads answered these questions...
