Clearly superior to any and all versions of IE.

What browser do you use?

Virtually any other browser is > IE.

Personally I like Firefox, Camino, Opera.. probably use Firefox most often.

Oh crap it doesn't? That's gonna suck. I can't really use my Firefox because I purposely installed 2.0 because TPR sucks and you can only take your exams on the earliest versions of firefox and IE 6 and 7. So I can't really update my Firefox....lets just hope I don't have to take the MCAT again so I can update it

Because of Firefox 😎

The most painful part of web development is making sure your stuff works in every browser. IE's gotten a lot a better now, but it used to be that your site would work perfectly (or close to it) in Firefox/Chrome/Safari, but fall to pieces in IE. So you'd have to use a lot of dirty CSS hacks, or browser-specific code to make your site presentable and usable for all users.

So, it costs AMCAS money and developer hours to get that site working, and they don't want to spend more making sure it works in Chrome.

Lol, not only do they not support Chrome, but here are the browsers that they currently support:
IE 7
Firefox 3
Netscape 7🤣

No support for Safari, either. Last year when I was applying I had to find and download an old (read dinosaur) version of Firefox in order to work on the application on my Mac at home.

netscape got discontinued FOREVER ago

It took me like a week to find firefox 3 for download so that I could fill out AMCAS, lmao.

It also doesn't support Linux or BSD (except Macs).

Google user agent switcher for a workaround.

Edit: interestingly, AACOMAS supports Chrom(e/ium) even on Linux. another reason to apply DO. 👍

I use Chrome for AMCAS. You just have to get the IE extension here.

Sweet! Thanks! This should come in handy assuming things haven't changed in a couple of cycles when I am applying.
