I didn't reach the limit for the number of entries under any category except volunteering, so that's how I know it as 10. So you can't put an unlimited number of each field on there.
For each entry in each category, you need to have dates and hours. Your brief description of each has to be 120 characters or less, I'm almost positive. You get to choose a certain number of each to flag for your application cover sheet.
Everything that's not background info or professional experience will either be entering your grades (print out an unofficial copy of your transcript so you don't have to constantly switch tabs while filling it out), simple information about demographics, or **** out of a drop down menu.
If you type of descriptions and responses for everything the physical act of completing everything that is in your power to complete on AADSAS will take you like 2 hours tops on the day it opens.
