T-cell Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Hi, Are we supposed to submit the ASB via the "Submit a new message" link or "Upload a document link"? Has anyone already done this? Is uploading the PDF as it is ok? No need to remain file etc? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!!

Rabeprazole Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Also wondering about renaming the file. I would think to keep it as is, as they don't explicitly say to change it and by asking just for initials in the application rather than first and last name, they don't want identifiers.

T-cell Posted October 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Hey, ya I agree with adding no names etc. to file because the purpose of using initials is to keep the process anonymous. And it doesn't say anywhere to rename the file right? So I would keep is as it is and submit it! Has anyone contacted admissions about this maybe and can chyme in?

I already uploaded the file but are we allowed to change the file name after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medapps Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Or does it only let you submit the file once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Snow Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Is anyone else getting an error where their file is too large to upload? Mine is coming out to 8.3 MB whereas the max upload is 5 MB. Edit: I used smallpdf.com to compress it, but maybe try copying from word/google docs --> notepad --> pdf before you submit. I double checked everything after compression for typos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, wondering the same thing! Also, did anyone else write their essays in a word doc and then copy and paste them in to the boxes in the PDF? Cause I did and I might be really tired from editing all day but it looks like some boxes have different fonts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also did and I also noticed the difference, however I believe that the PDF resizes the font based on how much you write. For example, when you first write in a text box it's bigger, but as you fill it up, the font automatically decreases. It's not like it changes to a different typeface though. No need to worry!
