<p>There's so much space for what we did over the summers! 2500 characters. Does that mean they want a lot of description of what we did?</p>
<p>This ended up being 370 words for me, spread out over eight of my activities. That’s less than fifty words per activity, and I used all of the allotted space (actually, it let me put only ~2413 characters). It’s really not that much space.</p>
<p>Don’t feel pressured to fill all the space. That’s the MAXIMUM. anyway, mine is a pretty short description of about 2~3 things i did over each summer.</p>
<p>I used this an opportunity to go into detail about a work experience that I hadn’t talked about anywhere else in my application (2400 characters :P)</p>
