What summer activites are worth mentioning? In the summer of 2011 I went to the National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine, which is definitely what I want to focus on, but the following summer was much more uneventful. I visited a few colleges, tried and failed to find a summer job, and helped my aunt with some yard work. Are any of these things worth mentioning, or should I just leave the summer of 2012 out of my response\

DO NOT LEAVE OUT SUMMER 2012. Find something worthwhile. Did you help out at church? Helping your aunt, did it affect you at all? Did failing at a job make you realize something? Never skip, but exaggerated...

My mom is an interviewer and part of the prospective student committee, they love it when you find a grain of promise in an uneventful summer.

Thanks for the advice guys. I think I'll talk about how I got closer to my grandpa during the college visits.
