I know schools don't really care too much about what you put down for manual dexterity, but I put down nothing, do you guys think it will be fine?
 
I think you should figure out something to put down.

Things to think about: do you type at a certain (fast) speed? Draw? Paint? Do calligraphy? Have you done any research in a lab or taken courses that require labs where they had you doing dissections? Fix cars? Decorate cakes? Make pastries? Play an instrument? etc etc.

Sorry, I probably wasn't clear, but I already submitted. So I was just thinking would it be ok? Like are my chances drastically going to go down if I have nothing threre

Oh sorry I think I might have misread your OP then. I have no idea...maybe you can do a search?
 
There wasn't anything for you to put? I personally wouldn't have left anything blank if it required a response but I guess it can be overlooked?

I could've put down something, but it said proficient and that kind of threw me off. I mean it wasn't required so I just figured I'll leave it blank for now and then if it comes up during the interview I can talk about various types of work I do with my hands. I am really regretting it now though!!
 
It is fine. This isn't something they can really validate either so it shouldnt hold a lot of weight (like if I put down I can solve a rubicks in under a minute, how am i suppose to prove that?)
 
The section isn't all that important. Interviewers these days know that since we grew up in a technologically enhanced age, we will have decent manual dexterity. However, it wasn't your brightest move just leaving it blank, but what's done is done.
