experience section question

hi hi! so i’m applying this cycle and im having a bit of trouble with the experience section of the application.
so obviously, vmcas gives you 700 characters to explain “description/key responsibilities”. however, ive received some conflicting information from my pre-vet advisor about what they actually want.

so my pre-vet program at my college isn’t super big and we mostly just get rounded up with other pre-health professions. my pre-vet advisor is also a pre-health advisor for like 50 other students across many future health careers. she has been telling me that VMCAS actually wants me to “to briefly mention what your role was but mostly reflect on why the experience was impactful”. (her direct words).

i’m seeking guidance from anyone who has actually got accepted in to vet school because i just want to make sure i do this all correctly. my advisor has only been minimally helpful in the past and i don’t want to fully trust her when she is juggling knowledge from so many other types of applications :)

thank you so much for any advice!!!
