I am just entering my ECs and was wondering what I should mention about each activity?

Right now i have it kind of like a resume format were I talk about what I did and then what the results were and what I learned. Does that work? or do the purely just want to know what I did,like my duties?

thanks

I'm sort of confused about this too.
I have like half-page summaries pre-written explaining the organization I was involved in, my position, what I did, etc.
But, I'm seeing now that most people just put real short bullet points or a couple of sentences.
I'm going to have to make some major changes if that's the case.

Yah I know what you mean. I think short bullet points would be easier to read but don't think it provides much insight.

For example if I was a tutor. Me writing something along the line of taught elementary students by provides practice examples isn't helpful. But if I say what I learned and that they kids all achieved a B or higher in their class that more useful I think

I just realized that on ACCOMAS it just says "description" so maybe they really just want the descriptions. But considering how heavily the ECs are weighted I guess the want has much info as possible

Yeah, I'm going to probably go ahead and put lengthy descriptions, may shorten them up a bit, but if it's something that I felt strongly enough to be involved in, I can't really summarize it in two sentences.
