Hey Everyone,

I was just working on secondaries and I was wondering if on applications where it says "please list your hobbies(150 words)" or "please list your leadership positions(100 words)" if the school actually wants you to simply list things or if you should list and elaborate on what they are/other info about them?

IMO, when you start elaborating on hobbies or leadership positions, 150 words goes by very fast. I would say just list them.

do you wonder if you're being too judgmental?

Haha I am really not trying to be ridiculous, I have just had different applications ask things like this and one had instructions that I was to give a short description of each even though the prompt said list, but this one had no instructions so I was just curious as to what most people did in these situations
