<p>I am unsure on how this section should be formatted. Do colleges want a quick "list"..</p>
<p>example, "Marching Band, played clarinet, won State Finals"</p>
<p>Or actual sentences?</p>
<p>"During my four years in Marching Band, I played clarinet and was a section leader my senior year. In 2005 we received first place at State Finals."</p>
<p>I don't want to waste the Admissions Officers time, but I don't want to appear careless and like I filled out this section just to have something there.</p>
<p>And does anyone know about how many characters/words you are allotted? It doesn't seem to cut off but I have heard that it can without you knowing it. I don't want to appear wordy and full of myself but I also don't want to leave out details a college might find interesting.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
