<p>I attended a 3 week summer program at UCSD. Where would i indicate this? I am also currently interning as a researcher at a hospital... where do i indicate this? Do these count as extracurriculars even tho they only take place for 3 months, and in the case of the UCSD program, 3 weeks?</p>
<p>Yes, they do "count" as extracurricular experiences and you should include them with your application. If applying online, use the "Additional Info" or "Miscellaneous" sections to include such information. If not applying online, you can submit an additional "resume" which includes all this information.</p>
<p>By the way, if you had searched the old threads on the JHU Forum you would have found this answer.</p>
<p>Also, there is no need to keep creating new subjects each time. If you have a number of questions - just post them all together. I can answer more than one question at a time.</p>
<p>New, but related Q about activities- I just got on the editorial staff for a teen health magazine. It's an awesome job because I'm getting paid to have discussions, interview people, go to conferences, and write articles (and even an article for MTV). I'm just starting it this year though so I'm not sure if it's worth mentioning. I've had other activities like girls scouts and temple youth group stuff that I've done all four years of high school. Should I include my new job as an activity or should I mention it in the additional info or just keep quiet about it. (the other thing I'm worried about is that the magazine is a strong advocate for comprehensive sex ed so an admissions officer might personally not like that) Opinions?</p>
<p>Thanks,
E</p>
<p>P.S. Isn't everyone proud that I didn't start a new thread? :)</p>
<p>Senior year activities are important and they should be listed when you submit your extracurricular activities list. If using the additional info section, you can include a bit of description including that the position is new.</p>
<p>Also remember, that you can always update your applications after you have submitted them, and such a position is something you might want to include as an update after having worked a bit. Definitely include it though!!!</p>
<p>As far as the "political views" angle - no need to worry. I do not, my colleagues do not, and I would have to say all the admissions counselors I know do not allow their personal beliefs to affect their decision making.</p>
<p>Cheers.</p>
<p>P.S. Thanks for not starting a new thread. Gold star for you.</p>
