\fbox puts TeX into Left-Right mode afaik, you can use a paragraph box:
\parbox{2in}{one\\two}
or a tabular environment like this:

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\begin{document}
\fbox{\parbox{5cm}{
\begin{tabular}{ll}
Office Use Only & {}\\
ID number: & 123\\
MCAT score: & 321\\
Undergraduate GPA: & ???
\end{tabular}
}}
\end{document}

best,
Jeroen
