University of Illinois Resume

Hi all,
For those of you who have applied to uiuc law how did you handle the portion of the resume that asks for interest/hobbies/academic pursuits. Did you use a list or or a short paragraph. I could see how hobbies/interest could be listed but I feel like academic pursuits would be best as a paragraph.

Happy Gray (Grey ?) Day!

    The Illinois prompt did not induce me to make any changes in my basic resume. In my education section, I have "extracurricular" under each school and at the end I have a personal section that lists interests and hobbies. I have them listed in each place. I think shorter is cleaner; however, if your academic pursuits are not something that naming (political science / genetics / history of third world bitcoin farming) would invoke recognition in a reader, than maybe a short sentence or two would be appropriate.

    FWIW, I visited UI-UC and really loved it. Best of luck to you!
