What type of questions are on the medical school admission application? Do you have to write an essay for each school? Do you list your volunteering experience and extracurriculars?

Go to AMCAS website and log in for 2013-2014 cycle application. You can make an account and log in without actually submitting it. Look through questions and how the activity section is set up.
You have to write a personal statement and descriptions for 15 extracurricular activity slots. Choose 3 maximum meaningful activities and write more remarks. And then for your secondary applications, you have to write designated essays, if any, for each school. Some schools have no secondary essays, while others do.

You will have to write short descriptions on each activity and they will have categories.
I really highly suggest making an excel document and separating your activities into the categories on the application, i.e. "volunteering", "paid work", "research," etc and having all the relevant information like contact numbers, hours, and dates so it's easily accessible come application time. The last thing you want to be doing is trying to recall so-and-so's name and how many hours you did. Keeping an updated log with all the pertinent info really streamlines the process. Best of luck.
