I was wondering, for the Work experience section, you can list up to 10 jobs, did everyone just list the jobs they had in the last 4 years, (college) or did you guys list jobs you had in high school as well?

Also, under extracarricular activities, similar question: Did anyone list activities you were involved in but are not involved in anymore.. say I started something freshman year and continued to do it through my junior year but quit my senoir year, should I still list this as an EC activity?

If I was just a member of a club, but not an officer, shoudl I still list it as an EC, simply to have more things to say?... or is quality better than quantity?.. what If I don't have that many ECs? .. cause I spent all my time doing a few..

I guess for jobs, it wouldn't hurt to list all of your jobs. Try to highlight any pharmacy or health-related jobs.

For extracurriculars, of course it's okay to list things you did for a few years. Most people don't join things for all 4 years of college. Pharmcas asks which years you were involved in the activity.

If you are just a member, of course you can list the EC. It's fine if you only have a few. It's also fine if you have a lot. I didn't try to fill up all the spaces for everything. I tried to focus on what's important.

Remember, interview questions can come from what you put on Pharmcas. So, if you put down something you only had peripheral involvement in, you might have to talk in depth about it later, which could be difficult.

Good luck and don't stress too much.
