point form or paragraph form for OPTOMCAS descriptions?

I was just wondering in the Optometric Experience, Employment, Extracirricular Activites, and Honor and Awards section whether you guys are describing your activities in paragraph or in point form. I decided to use point form since you provide more of a description of what you've done without worrying about prose or connectors, etc.. However, if the printed format of the application is the same as ours when the admissions committees print it out, there are no double spaces between each point which makes the description look messy and incoherent.

Thoughts?

good q, i was wondering the same thing. When i first put stuff in it didnt look good so I added commas in. I thought maybe if i filled it out in point form with commas it might look more like a resume.

I used paragraph form when I applied last year, not sure what did other applicants do.

haha yea i was just joking with that comment. I don't think whether you write your extra curriculars in point form or paragraph has a great impact on your overall application - just as long as you get the point across in a clear/concise manner.
