Would putting that I studied abraod in both the coursework and post-secondary section sound redundant? I'm curious as to what other folks have done.

I studied abroad twice during my undergrad years.

I wrote about my experiences in my post-secondary activities section....I felt it was good to have in that part of my application- some of my interviewers read about it and asked some good questions.

hope this helps

yah...I mentioned study abroad in the post-secondary. Your transcript cannot comment on your study abroad experience, which for most people, is a very formative one. If your time abroad influenced your interest in medicine or your personal development significantly, I would certainly comment on that.

😡 Darn it. Due to the lack of response, I figured everyone thought I was off and just deleted what I wrote a couple of hours ago. I guess I'll try to remember what I typed.

Thanks for the replies though! 😀

I would definitely put your study abroad experience in your post-secondary section. This highlights an important part of your undergraduate experience and gives interviewers more to talk to you about.

OK, so what category does it fall under in the post-secondary section?

"Other" or "Hobbies/Interests/etc."
