i am already enrolled in the NYLF:MED and I was really excited to do the program until I heard from a friend who did it that it wasn’t a very hands on program. So now I am thinking of doing Project Abroad in India. My friend went there last summer and she said it was great. Not only did she immerse herself in a new culture, but she go to help preform a surgery, help people with leprosy, and also the “untouchables”. I think this would be really cool just because its hands on and my friend said it really help her decide if she wanted to be a doctor or not. Also, I my school is allowing student to apply for a scholarship for Global Works, chances are if I apply I would go to Puerto Rico and this trip is more of the community service based type of program. If I got the scholarship I would do both because the Global Works program is in June and the Project Abroad program is in August. I guess my main question is should I ask for a refund for the NYLF:MED? I know its a great way to see different schools but I feel like I can do that on my own time. Also which program would look better on a college application? I come from a very competitive school and I could use anything possible to help me stand out.
