I could really use someone to help guide me through the AMCAS Activities section, asking me what my duties were and the outcome, and helping me word that optimally for the application. I would like as many suggestions as possible. Feel free to PM me.

I am having problem after problem. It seems like all of my job descriptions are a page or longer, so I don't know what to write down for duties. Then the significance requires it's own half page, but all I have is 700 characters for everything. 🙁 And this should have been done weeks ago.

As gonnif says, Rule 1: take a breath.
Have you looked at Med Ed's guide to activities?
I would suggest that you come up with a rough attempt at concise descriptions for each activity, and only after you've finished, ask for someone on here who has been through the process to look over your descriptions, compare to your longer descriptions, and make sure everything is ready to go. I won't pretend that I'm far enough into this process that I could do this successfully.
Ideally it would have been done a few weeks ago, but you're not at a disadvantage as long as you're on-track overall. You sound very stressed so just remember it's alright, you can go at a reasonable pace and get things done.

You can inbox me descriptions of your work and activities and I'd be happy to help you evaluate them. Also, relax, you're not late. You're early. SDN gives us this false idea that if you don't submit AMCAS by June 1 and all your secondaries by July 1, you're destined for the Caribbean. You're not. Relax mate.
