Work/Activities on AMCAS Question

Hey guys, I just had a quick question. I served on the board of a service club at college, and we did a ton of different projects like with the homeless, soup kitchens, fundraising for natural disaster relief, etc.

On the work/activities section on AMCAS, it asks you to name 15 experiences and list which three are your most meaningful.

Should I add individual activities or should I just write about the entire organization? Aka write that I was on the board for this organization followed by a list of projects we did, or should I write about the certain projects one at a time? Each one was very meaningful to me in different ways, and I really do feel like writing about them individually would better able to show that. But I'm not sure...

What do you all think?

You should have enough space to outline the organization as well as describe a few meaningful events + your position/duties if you fill one entry and make it a most meaningful. I had a similar activity and wrote it chronologically, highlighting important events/presentations/etc. along the way. Its nice to tie it into medicine too towards the end.

But not essential.

Thanks guys! I'll just list it once and write about all the stuff we did in that one entry.
