UVA Activities & Interests section formatting

rknwu2017rknwu2017 Alum Member

On UVA's application there is a section titled Activities & Interests as I am sure many people know. I know what I want to put for my answers to each question in the section, but I'm confused as to how I should format my answer for the first box. I originally just made a bulleted list type format for all of my significant extra-curriculars, but when I reviewed my application it all just comes out as a cluttered blob of a paragraph. Does anyone have any idea how to properly format the answer in this section? Or should I just assume that UVA admissions knows that my list is going to come out as a cluttered blob?

Here's an example of my formatting vs how it comes out in the preview:

XX Student Affairs Senate, XX, XX
Elected Student Senator, Academic Affairs Committee, 5 hours/week 8/2015–12/2015
• Helped conduct student review of changes in university admission standards.

XX Model UN Team, XX, XX
Team Member, 3 hours/week 8/2015–12/2015
• Represented XX at the American Model United Nations Conference in Chicago, IL.
