I am having a difficult time prepping everything for AADSAS, specifically the parts where I need to describe something in 175 characters. This is about 2 sentences or less, and it is hard to describe within those constraints. Are you/did you guys list or describe? and HOW did you do this? Did you tie everything back to dentistry? Please help! Thanks friends!!

I didn't try to tie everything back to dentistry, I answered the questions relevantly and in a way that would capture the readers attention. Don't use a list format since it should be "essay based." As the caption states, write 175 characters on why you did this or did that, etc. It's not that bad. I wouldn't be too concerned with these sections, I don't know if they are reviewed as methodically as the personal statement.
 
Wait,

Doesn't AADSAS not open until June 4? How can you start filling it out already?
 
Wait-- what kind of questions are you talking about that we have to answer in 175 characters?? I don't remember seeing that.. hm
 
It's pretty much all the extracurricular sections that give you that limited space to describe each entry. Keep it brief and to the point and use complete sentence(s).
