My secondary asks me to list in detail any experiences where I've been involved in the lives of individuals, "as previously listed in your AMCAS application." It then asks me to be specific on what my actual duties were.

The problem is, it gives me a slingle lined 3 inch box to put that in... I wrote like 3 words and the box is full. What is this going for here? I'm trying not to repeat information from AMCAS, yet it's asking me to specifically describe my activites-- but it gives me room for 3 words. Any suggestions?

Could be a website error if it's really giving you <25 words' worth of space. There are quite a few schools that only give you 50-100 words or <250 characters, though. If it really is only enough space to say something like, "I worked with patien" then give them a call and ask about it.....

...Otherwise, just suck it up and write your 50 word essay....

Are you sure it doesn't expand and have wrapping text?

Well it's in a PDF, which allows me to technically write more than 5 words, but the font shrinks to an almost invisible size if I write more than 10 words. There's no way to expand the space or change lines or anything. Do you think they're seeing how brief I can be or something?? Just mind games I guess.
