describing ECs on primary apps?

[alphasyn]

hi all,

so there is a section in the primary application where one can describe the activity/award in detail. i was wondering what do people usually write about? and how detail it should be? there is a word limit of 1000ish characters including space...

and also, i got research grants for 4 consecutive semesters, should i just combine them into one award/honor?

thanks for the help!

Ech experience you enter has a section for additional description. Be succinct if you want the narrative to be read. If you were a waitperson it isn't necessary to put ten bullet points about what your duties were, as everyone knows what they are. Elaborate if a well-educated person might not understand a given Experience.

It's fine to group things. Most will group all awards, honors, and scholarships, for example.

More important than describing the nature of the activity is explaining the SIGNIFICANCE of the activity, especially if you haven't touched on it in your PS
