how far back did you guys list your experiences for your resume? I have been working since 2014, should I include all of it

I listed jobs plus internships since 2014. I've had more internships than actual jobs since I've been a student for quite a while, so I threw everything into the resume

Okay I just did the timed writing... jeezus. I realized I had a mistake in one of my sentences and barley got to finish! I also don’t think I answered the question the way they wanted it answered! I really hope this doesn’t affect me in a negative way. 
 

This definitely does not show the writer I actually am ????

I just put stuff related to my “profession”. So right now I am a student abs then I just listed everything I’ve done as a student.

I feel you ! I had made a mistake in mine as well and I didn't get to fix it because the time was up ? but I believe the timed writing is to just show admissions what answers we come up with and how we format it so I don't think there's a right or wrong way to answer the questions

You should be allowed to ! Since they both have the same deadline. Is the application not available to you since you submitted it ? You should sign out then sign back in, but refresh the page

You’re allowed to. I submitted it a week after submitting my general application. I think it just takes a bit for it to appear, mine just did after I submitted my FAFSA.
 

Also this is my first post here, but good luck everyone! Hope we all get in <3
