Applying to College

<p>on the common application, theres a section called work experience. can i put my volunteer experience here or does that go under the activites section?</p>

<p>usually, work = you get $$</p>

<p>It does not go under work.</p>

4

<p>it goes under Ecs more so than work.</p>

5

<p>unless you received an honorarium</p>

<p>what if i had this research internship last year and worked for 7 weeks over the summer for 8 hours a day? does that count as "volunteering" (i was unpaid) or is that work experience?</p>

<p>^^^ call in an unpaid internship and list it both as an EC as well as under work experience.</p>
