It seems so ridiculous to retype all my post-secondary experiences (since they are on the AMCAS application). There is a spot for "description".....I'm just re-entering what I wrote on the AMCAS ap, since it's difficult to vary the description of what was involved in the activity. i.e., responsibilities at a job
Should I just vary the wording? I just don't get the point...🙄

Any thoughts?

I just used the same info, descriptions and all.

I did the same. Exactly the same as my AMCAS application. I dunno why they ask that. Plus mine aren't in chronological order..but they said it didn't matter.

I saw it as a way to expand on life experiences and include some things that aren't appropriate for the AMCAS app. For example, the UW secondary asked to include things such as parenting. I didn't mention the fact that I'm married and raising a daughter in the experiences section of my AMCAS app. The UW secondary gave me a chance to do that (I believe it's somewhat relevant since that makes my good post-bacc GPA seem better, since I maintained good grades while working full-time and raising my daughter). Just a thought. You might also want to include things like that to expand on the "person" portion of the application as opposed to the "numbers" portion (makes sense?).
