Hello everyone!
Recently, I got an email saying that I am eligible to apply for the Oxford Semester Program. It is basically where you study for a semester at Oxford and can earn undergraduate credits. I plan on applying for the Fall of my junior year. So, would a study abroad program really make a difference in my med school applications? What do you guys think?🙂
 
If you like the opportunity, then do it.

It will look nice on an app and it will be a nice topic of discussion at interviews. However, I don't see adcoms saying "ZOMG, neuroscrub here did a semester away at Oxford...we HAVE to give them an interview!"

Could be wrong there, but that's my impression.
