<p>My son participated in a medical mission to Nigeria for over two weeks this last Summer. Besides learning a heck of lot about another country/culture, he was able to do some things that even a med student would not be able to do in America, help run a pharmacy and intake room. I know he can write about this experience in an essay, but I would have thought the Common App (and Georgetowns app) would make it easier to list such activities in a section. Do you have any hints on how he should he try to list this in the Common App?</p>
<p>Activity: Other
Position/Leadership: Nigeria Medical Trip, helped run pharmacy, intake
Details Honors and Accomplishments: This residential program allowed me to fully experience the culture and take on a hands-on role with significant responsibility.</p>
<p>Thank you for niceday. I’m finally beginning to figure out the Common App.</p>
