Activity List - are full sentences necessary?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>On the common app when it says 'details and accomplishments', do you write complete sentences? or can you write it kind of like a resume and just start with verbs?</p>

2

<p>I don’t think there’s room for full sentences, but you can try. I just did fragments that got across the gist of the activity</p>

3

<p>Fragments should be fine… I think most people are doing that</p>

4

<p>abbreviations are OK, too</p>

5

<p>How many characters/words are you alloted in the “details and accomplishments” area?</p>

6

<p>as you work on this section rather than going by a character count it’s better to use the preview button to see what colleges will see</p>

7

<p>Thanks so much!</p>

8

<p>Where is the preview button?</p>

9

<p>Preview button’s on the top near the logout button. </p>

<p>I used lots of “;” in between fragments to help make it seem coherent.</p>
