Most meaningful commitment and why?

I'm really bogged down with this question. Applying to SEAS.

In 300 chars - I'm not sure how much to devote to "describe" activity/interest, and how much for "why meaningful"

Can anyone suggest how they structured their answers - bullet points type desriptive text, or prose ?

Thanks.

if its a well known activity, devote as little to the 'describe' as possible. instead, focus on your personal motivation for why you did it and what you got out of it.

I recently posted my answer to this question to see if it was concise enough. I think i called it "Is this EC concise enough." i know i used concise so just search for that word on this forum

i think they expect a paragraph(not bullet points) about your most important EC
