Supplemental Descriptions Question

[RicardoKaká]

Hey everyone,

 

Is there a certain way to tackle how we describe our experiences (EC, research, awards, volunteer etc.)? Are we allowed to simply do point form, or a combination of structure vs. unstructured approach to explain our roles and responsibilities?

 

I could of sworn I read somewhere that point-form was ok, but I may be confusing OMSAS with Dal App.

 

I appreciate any feedback!

I heard somewhere point-form is preferred (just easier to read). It also can make it easier to highlight your responsibilities (i.e. put more important responsibilities as the first bullet point).

do they want *just* your responsibilities or what you learned from it, etc. like how it is with OMSAS? I guess they have the essay for that, but I'm just so not used to just describing my responsibilities for med school applications

Does anyone know the character/word limit for the "description of responsibilities" section?

500 characters

500 characters

How did u find this? i read the application couple of times and I do not seem to find a word limit

500 characters

Thanks. 

 

If you type some words in and you save your answer, it'll tell you you're over the word limit and its 500 characters.
