I was just wondering if there was a proper format when filling in those boxes asking about manual dexterity and other background info. Should I write in complete sentences? or just makes lists? or does it not matter? Thanks guys!

i'm not entirely sure what's better. i just listed bullet points throughout teh entire application. i figured with so many applications to read, the adcoms would prefer to get right to the point. plus, if they wanted to know that you could write, they can look at your personal statement. so my advice....keep it short and sweet.

i have a question regarding this section as well...are we supposed to put down how long we have been doing these manual dexterity activities?

Can I put proficient in video games for 15 years? it uses a lot of manual dexterity!!! LOL

Hahahaha.....I have been wondering about that too...even had a few lines written down on the precise movements and hand eye coordination needed from the 1st person shooters. I dunno if I'll include it. Just find it amusing someone else is wondering/chuckling about putting it down

I wouldn't risk putting that in the application.

It's only a 600 character limit so it's not like you can really write much. I made a short and concise couple sentences...even with many applications to read, I think the sentences are a more smooth read in my opinion. 🙂 good luck!

aren't there all these studies saying video games improve your hand-eye coordination and dexterity among other things...
