Hi, I'm trying to write up the background info section prior to application cycle starts. It shows that I have to to describe activities that involve dexterity. Can I just list things that I do without thinking about the flow or things like that as I would when writing a personal statement? So is it ok to write like, "I enjoy Paper Mache, jewelry making, beading, cross-stitching and clothing and bag designing"?

Also, the third question asks about supplemental academic enrichment progrmas an/or post-bacc programs in which I have participated to enhance my prep for dntal school. It sounds like they wanna know about Kaplan courses or one of those summer programs for pre-dental students.
I was wondering if I should list adult education classes that I have taken. I took Spanish so that I can communicate to my Hispanic patients. This is not a science course or anything that's directly related to dental school prep, but it is in the long run. Do you think it's a good idea to put it down on the application?

For Manual Dexterity, make it into a bullet point list, that makes it look longer, and yes, those are very good things to put. For Academic programs, we just had a big thread about this, so check it out, but yeah, I wouldn't say that Spanish classes would be too big of a stretch, especially if you're applying to schools with large Spanish speaking populations, so go ahead with that one - especially if you've got nothing else to put.
