Bug Description | From Patty LaFleur: In all previous years, we used to be able to go to the VMCAS tab on the bottom right-hand side, and click on edit. I could then cut and paste in a corrected version of an essay or a new/different YouTube video link. Now I’m not seeing that option on the VMCAS ta. Is there a new way to do this? Perhaps in the portal? I have to replace a few essays with corrected versions. I sed Kaitlynn Moore below as an example. I need to replaced her video link. Thanks Another applicant needs her VMCAS personal essay replaced. Is that something you can ‘turn on’ as well? Sorry, one more. How can I edit this response: Prompt: In what ways has your candidacy changed since your previous application(s)? |
