punctuation question

Hey guys, I'm currently filling out my AMCAS application.

As most of you probably know, the personal statement section does not allow you to italicize or underline anything. If I have a title that should be italicized (i.e. a book), then what should I do? Just put it in quotes, even though that's incorrect?

I know this a kind of ******ed question, but I'm starting to stress over every little detail.

Hmmm... tough question. Well, I would probably just capitalize the book title. I wouldn't use quotes... those would be blatantly wrong (and since you know better, you wouldn't want someone looking at your personal statement to assume that you DON'T know better). Maybe I am looking too deeply into it... 🙄 🙂

For a book or journal title, I would use all caps (e.g., AMERICAN JOURNAL OF OB/GYN).

For an article or chapter, I'd use quotation marks (e.g., "Reproductive aging: accelerated ovarian follicular development")
