activities/work descriptions on AMCAS

[PBandJ]

I'm struggling with these...I want to go into enough detail so that the adcoms understand the activity/work experience and my role in that experience, but I don't want to be repeating things that I'm going to be putting elsewhere or in my significant research experiences essay (i'm applying md/phd). how detailed should this be? and should it be written as an essay (my role in this project was to blah blah...) or more like a list (responsibilities included: blah, blah, ...).

any suggestions?

No prob! We were debating the merits of the search engine in another thread. Sometimes it's not so helpful!
