Are the AACOMAS experiences the same thing as activities? And they're only 600 characters?? Is this shorter than in previous years?

Yes they are the same. 600 characters is similar to previous years. Regardless that's what we have to work with now.

The precious application had us list our extracurricular activities under a category called "activities" this year it's called "experiences". Same thing.

If i worked at a lab part time in school and was then given full time after graduation, should I enter that as the same experience?

 

[Layla92]

I would^^

 

[Oh_Gee]

I would^^

what about my average weekly hours? with full time I do 40 hours and with part time i did ~15 hours

@Oh_Gee
What I would do:
Calculate the total hours you worked. Then change the number of weeks and average weekly hours until it matches your calculated total. Then in the description say you started off part time and was then awarded a full time position. Something along those lines. Hope that helps.

What format are people putting their activities/experiences into the AACOMAS app using? They only give a ridiculous 600 characters of space? Are they expecting us to do bullet points/resume style or are you guys doing full-sentences?

I kept my short and succinct. I didnt use bullets because that takes up characters.
