I am almost done filling in the application and have a question on how to fill in the Experiences and Achievement sections. From what I have done so far, I have filled each section in a very technical manner. For example for the secretary positions I had in a school organization, I put the tasks I was responsible for completing in a paragraph format. I assumed this is what was expected but saw that my friend and some other people online were writing these descriptions in a reflective narrative format. For example, when talking about volunteering they would discuss what they learned from the experience almost like a mini personal statement. If possible, I would rather keep it technical but am not sure if this is to "bland" fo what the admissions officers are expecting.

Thank you for the advice. I will more than likely have to go back and rewrite all of them though :cryi:

You are overthinking things. Cool down and eat some snacks.

Between the two, it is more important that you communicate what the activity was. A BRIEF portion about what you learned is good.
