Character count for activities. Is 600 too short?

[eyesfeeltired]

I know aamcas gives 700 characters. I finished my accomas app and i was only allotted 600 characters. I had to keep it very short and conscience. I can simply copy and paste my activiteis from accomas app to aamcas. Would 600 characters be to less, or should I write more.

100 characters is like a slightly long sentence. Some of my activities have ~500 characters. I think you'll be fine.

You're fine.

I think for all my activities, I was within one or two characters of 700 (if not exactly at 700). To get it there, means that I had to reedit my experiences and chose words very strategically. I was probably over-thinking it way too much, but hitting 700 characters every time shows that you are resourceful/thoughtful about details, at the very least!

I have a couple that I had around 500. Hard to be original and thoughtful when you're talking about shadowing and cleaning gurneys, etc.
