So after hanging around the forums for a bit, it's my understanding that adcoms do not look favorable upon medical mission trips. My question is how are extended trips (~5-7 months) viewed? What if the trip is research-related - would that be viewed unfavorably? Would it be equivalent or lesser than research performed in the US?
I'm looking to fill some of my gap-years time by doing something interesting that will also help add spice to my application (top schools, I'm looking at you!). If this is something that would not help and could possibly hurt my chances, I have many other options I am still considering....so, any help here would be greatly appreciated!
