Internship Location on Common Application

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

Hi all,

I’ve had a month-long internship related to my major for the past couple of summers (after 10th and 11th grade). Where should I put this internship on my Common Application? I feel as though it should be in the Activities section, but because it was just for a month over two summers, I’m not sure if it’d be as substantial as something like my participation in an intensive physics research team (that participates and places well in international tournaments) for most of my high-school years. Please let me know any input you might have.

Thanks.

Many students list summer activities on the activities list. That is the best place for it, IMO. Or, if you run out of spaces, list it in additional info.
