Paragraphs in the AMCAS personal statement..

[mexico]

When I paste my PS from Notepad to the application paragraph breaks appear as they should, but when I look at how it appears on the printed version, the essay is just one huge paragraph. Does anyone know if that's okay? or how to make sure the paragraph breaks appear? Thanks

i think the consensus has been that you should use block paragraphs.

Don't worry about it, when I applied last year I worried about the same thing after I sent it. When the AMCAS looks at it, it will appear the way you originally typed it. Don't worry. Take Care. Paul

I asked AMCAS about this and they said not to worry about it. It's in the huge one paragraph block because that's they way it gets printed out. To a med school admcom, it will appear the way you originally typed it. So no more worries.....good luck......
