According to the directions, applicants should have a 750 character limit for the extracurricular, volunteer, etc... section. However, it will not let me provide more than 100 characters. Is this a glitch or does the AACOMAS want us to be that concise? Any thoughts? I just emailed them.

I think it is 750 characters for the entire section...? It did that to me also. How are you writing your descriptions? Are you just listing stuff or writing complete sentences?

I think its fixed now. I haven't been having problems lately. I'm writing it in paragraph form. I like it to be cohesive.

For work experience, I pretty much just copied and pasted the bulleted points of my job descriptions from my resume.. basically, i just copied and pasted each separate listed description, separating each with a comma.. will that be alright? i'm starting to think cohesivity may be where it's at

Everyone has their own way to presenting the material. I just chose paragraphs since it was easier for me to get my point across. Bullets sometime lack clarity.
