Can you put down descriptions of your activities, like in the MD app? It says to list? HELP!

Hi Jezzielin,
Theres hardly any room on the app to explain them like on AMCAS. You can try to put a phrase/sentence or two for the most meaningful ones, but I think the best route is to explain them fully but succinctly on your CV and have that ready for secondaries. I believe you are allowed to send it in with your secondaries.

You can send in a resume?
 
Yes, you can put brief descriptions of your activities-so long as they fit in the space provided. I did and I think it helps, certainly can't hurt to drill in the significance of your ECs on both the PS and as short descriptions.
