Was wondering if there is a major discrepancy between the two, and if there is a general preference, or if it does not matter, as long as everything is concise.

I was leaning more towards list to make it read more like a resume

I listed mine, from what I have heard the less detail the better. The reason is because they will ask you more questions possibly

I also did a list with a very brief description of the experience. Thought it was most concise than a paragraph form.

Brevity is your friend this year imo. EVERYONE is going to be vastly over applying and faculty don’t have time to read about how your 1 day trip to the Ronald McDonald house as a first year changed your life. List that you did it and what you did and move on. Feel like this could be the rule of thumb for most years tbh

Short bullet points. Tried to make the description as talking points.

Mostly because i feel like the only time interviewers will really read the description is right before they interview me haha.
