Missionary Trips?

<p>I'm seriously considering doing a missionary trip over the summer in a foreign country. One where you volunteer like at an orphanage or school, or spread Christianity/Catholicism from anywhere btw 3 weeks to a month. How do these programs look on college applications? I'm not planning on doing this trip just for the college application, I'm just wondering. Thanks (:</p>

<p>Oh and also would it mean more if i were applying to a private church ran college? Like Loyola Marymount, USF, USD etc</p>

<p>If you’re already really involved in your church, I think it could help you when applying to religious colleges. And to other colleges, as long as you’re passionate about it, it’ll help. Maybe write your essay on it, or something like that.</p>
