I might try to abbreviate in order to include as many as possible. Just saying, it's a bad habit. AMA Model Rules require attorneys to represent themselves honestly, and specifically, the Model Rules forbid omissions of information when it is clear to you that your answer creates a misunderstanding. Perhaps you could add as disclaimer such as, "among others...." loleve2490 wrote:tk-Thank you!
Jazz-I understand what you are saying, yet I still won't have enough space to list them all and I don't want to pick and choose randomly.

They only give you a set number of places so we won't be able to list a number of schools. Since this is the case, it doesn't hurt to to be a little strategic about itJazzOne wrote:I might try to abbreviate in order to include as many as possible. Just saying, it's a bad habit.

Call them and say, "I'm applying to 30 schools. Should I attach a file listing them all?" Like JJdancer says, just answer the question. If they really want all 30, let them have fun reading the list.eve2490 wrote:tk-Thank you!

I'm with Jazz. For the one school I applied to that asked this, I typed up all the schools I applied to in a word doc and attached it to the app, and said "see attached list" on the app itself. Honesty is key here.JazzOne wrote:I might try to abbreviate in order to include as many as possible. Just saying, it's a bad habit.
