Expressing Community Service on Apps

Hi everyone,

CC has been a great source of information for finding schools and working on my apps.
Thanks for the many contributions.

I am using Gateway to fill out my candidate profile and it seems a little vague on the extra curricular section. It says community service, but does not have a specific box to add information. I feel a little strange just putting down community service and not specifying what I did. I did talk about it in my interview, but how should I put it down on paper in my application?

Thanks for your help.

Yes. At least, that is what I have done for the last two years. I simply listed the title of the community service I did in the top part.
Then, at the bottom, I described everything that I listed in the top, in the box at the bottom... I believe it says to list accomplishments you are proud of, or extra details or something like that.

I was thinking of putting it on the additional information sheet on the last page, but the accomplishments section seems to fit well too. Thanks for the input!
