Hey y'all,
I am applying this upcoming 2023-2024 cycle and was kind of hung up on deciding between two activities and which one I should put on my AMCAS app.
1. Without revealing too much, I was part of a living-learning community during one academic year, during which we traveled to a few cities to learn about public health and also did a capstone project as a group. I feel like the individual contributions weren't anything much, but I did have to apply/interview to get into it..
2. I have received various departmental honors and awards from my university that's more than just honor societies and Latin honors/dean's list. I am not sure how impactful these would be on the app and don't really know how adcoms see these awards.
I can not include both because all other activity sections are already filled.
I would appreciate all feedback because otherwise I feel good about the rest of activities that I have!
