Application Question

[Jixe]

How is the application set-up for Extracurricular, Volunteer and Employment details?

 

How much space is provided for the descriptions, etc.? Anyone remember?

[Jamer]

A lot of room. Over 30 for sure. It's set up really weirdly though, such that if you an activity over several years and there were breaks in the operation of it (i.e. say you volunteered at youth camps in the summer), you have to put a seperate category for every year you did it.

 

It's a lot more thorough than U of A's application, to say the least.

Room for over 30 activities in total? How much space per activity (to list description, etc.)? Thanks!

[Jamer]

Yes, >30 activities (volunteering, work, EC's, whatever) in total (35ish sounds about right), but as I said, sometimes you have to use 4 slots for the same one if you did it 4 summers in a row.

 

You get 5 "major" activities where you can write a paragraph about why it was an important experience in your life. For the remaining ones, you get a sentence to explain what you did.

well, for the "remaining" ones you get up to 3 bullet points that were like 80 characters each for brief descriptions

Thanks very much guys!
