<p>For the expand on one of your extracurriculars question, does it have to be in essay form? Right now I just have it in list form, and it comes in slightly under 1000 characters.</p>
<p>Yes, it should be in essay form. How exactly are you answering this in list form? It just wants you to talk about an EC you are passionate about.</p>
<p>It should be in paragraph form? You’re supposed to be elaborating on one particular EC, so you really shouldn’t have a list at all. Describe what you do, why it’s important, what it could mean for your future, or really anything you want. Also, many people advise that the EC not appear on your EC list at all, since the section is really good to elaborate on interesting or unique hobbies (I’ve seen several just about running, and a few with collections).</p>
