For manual dexterity, it asks to describe the activities- what kind of information did you guys include (if any) besides just listing the activities?

Also, where they ask if you've had interruptions in your education, should I talk about how I took a year off in between my bachelors and post bacc?

Thanks!!

A very short description should suffice, I think there was a letter/word count limit.

A year off after graduating does not count as an interruption in your education. Things like health or mental illnesses, deaths in family, etc when one is forced to leave school for a time, counts.

I'm also curious about this. Should I just list things, or write them in short essay form?

Example:
-Guitar
-Auto repair

vs.

I've played guitar for X amount of years and I also am proficient at auto repair.

Mine is pretty straight forward
ex:
- Instruments: Piano and drums

They're already reading hundreds of applications a day I think if anything writing it clear and condensed would give them less of a headache lol
