I put it in "other." Is that what others are doing?

Thanks,

That's what I did, but I feel that it so much more important than "other". I wish there were a title listed for it. 😳

Hi,
I listed it under post secondary experiences, since I shadowed a doctor while I was there and did other things as well. I also listed in the coursework section since I took classes.

I also listed it under course work, since I took classes while there.

I actually listed it under INSTITUTIONS as another school that I attended.
(even though the program was through my school but affiliated and located at Oxford in England.) This was what my pre-med advisor told me to do. It's not a big deal, because there's a way to show that the grades will be listed on your school's transcript.

I think that it DOES make a little difference in getting noticed

good luck!
