<p>I just condensed my description to 70-ish words, and the preview looks fine though the fonts for description is kind of small. Is 70 words' description acceptable ot MIT?</p>
<p>You don’t necessarily need to use complete sentences in your descriptions.</p>
<p>For example, one of my clubs was FIRST Robotics, and my description was “Directed public relations and fundraising, designed and built the robot’s electronics board, and assisted in programming.” Just think of what you’d write on a formal resume for each club.</p>
<p>I think the 40 is an upper limit, not a lower limit.</p>
