My freshman year, I was part of a program, specifically a Talent Advanced Program, in my honors college, where I lived with other bio majors and got to take two honors biology classes with that group of people as well as a seminar where different professors would come in to talk about their research.

Since this was an invitation only program and I had to apply to get in, is it considered an "Achievement" or should I list it under my "Experiences" section? If I list it under Experiences, what should I put for my hours since I did it my entire freshman year?

Also, if I researched in two labs, or shadowed multiple dentists, do I list those as separate experiences or together? What are you guys doing?

I feel like this would go under experiences for "Academic Enrichment." I feel like the achievements section is more for honors and awards, like Dean's List, grant awards, merit scholarships, etc. For hours just give an estimate of how much time you actually spent doing things related to the program and give it as an average for the number of weeks in your freshman year.

Add them separately, it would be difficult to add the names of both doctors and stuff if you put them together.
