Common App: How detailed should the course catalog description be?

Hey everyone! Quick question about the Common App: when inputting the description for the courses I've taken, how detailed do I need to be? Should I write a sentence or two, or do I need to include every topic covered throughout the semester?

Hi there! When inputting course descriptions on the Common App, you don't need to be overly detailed or to include every topic covered throughout the semester. Instead, try to provide a brief, concise description of each course, typically around one or two sentences. Focus on the main themes or subjects you covered in the class. Remember, admissions officers have to read through many applications, so keeping it short and to-the-point will be appreciated. That said, if you feel like a specific course was particularly unique or important to your academic journey, you may choose to provide a bit more context or detail on that one without extending your descriptions too much. Good luck with your application!
