<p>Yeah, pay attention to EC SECTION, in particular. I was totally stunned. I had thought hard and witten in all of my ECs. When I printed out the preview form, my words were cut off at each EC explanation. Now, the ccers say that whatever shows on ‘printed preview’ is what ad-com reads! I had to revise many. </p>
