Maybe this is a dumb question, sorry if it has already been answered, but I couldn't find it in a search.
In the AMCAS app, there is ample room to describe jobs, volunteer experiences, ect, but the AACOMAS app only asks for the experience title and the date. Should I put in a very short description?? I'm being told by the system to limit stuff to 100 words or less in some fields.
I'm thinking they will be asking for more info about experiences, ect on the secondaries-- would I be right in this assumption?
thank you

On mine I put small comments to emphasize the most important ones. But I couldn't get much in besides that and most I just did the title/dates/etc. I liked how AMCAS has this part bc you can really explain what you did and how it impacted you.

You’re right. Just put a line in if you feel uncomfortable with out one. Your gpa and MCAT will determine if you get a secondary or not. One you have that, go to town listing your EC’s
