Supplemental Information Form Description

[RichardParker]

How much is everyone elaborating on their activities? The application doesn't seem to specify a character/word limit but says to be succinct. It also says "We want to know.....what you have gained from it as a person and as a future physician."

 

I am debating if I should include what I learned from the activity or just stick with brief one line description of my duties/responsibility??

I am sticking with "Responsibilities" and "Description". I did not talk about why I did these things or what I gained from them. I am not sure I can satisfy these points in just 500 characters.

Where did you find the 500 character limit? I didn't know we had a strict number given to us?

When you are saving for further edits, it will tell you that you are over the limit (if you have more than 500 characters) and it won't save.

 

For extracurricular activities, I think it depends on what the activity is. For example, if you a club exec, then you can talk about your responsibilities. But if it is something like "yoga" then you can say "level of performance: recreational". Hope this helps!

Ohh! Thanks you for the info. Much appreciated.
