Hey guys,
so in the "Description" part for each activity, do you write a description of what you did (somewhat like resume style, number of hours, blah blah blah even though there is a section where you put those hours in) or write it like a PS (explaining what you learned from it and relate it to why you want to be a physician)?

I've been writing as a general description but I don't really know.

I've read

(I know it's for AMCAS)
and it seems like it's more of a general description but hearing how people don't include their activities in PS because they will write it in the application, I feel like you write it like how you would write a PS.

Does that make sense to any of you?

and I know not all activities are related to why you want to be a doctor....

That is all you will get is varying opinions. I wrote as much as possible about what I did and what it is an important part of my app/character. Because otherwise how else will they know what you did and whats important to you?
