<p>This past year I went to Ireland with my school for 10 days for an educational enhancement trip…should I mention this when filling out applications?</p>
<p>How do you define “educational enhancement”?
What did you do? What did you learn? How did you pay for it?</p>
<p>We took a tour of Ireland…visiting many historic places…learned a whole lot…my parents paid for it…I was just wondering if I should put it on my application?</p>
<p>you went on a tour of ireland. i can’t see that as being anything other than a paid trip.</p>
<p>I think you should definitely mention your trip. I spent time in Paris to improve my French and learn more about the culture, and I’ll probably mention that.</p>
<p>I went on 5-14 day-long school trips (meant as educational trips) to Japan, Hungary and London, and I didn’t mention any of them on my application.</p>
<p>To be honest, I think those trips are not more significant than most family holiday trips but not less signficant than some ECs in your resume, so just go ahead and mention it in your app if you would like.</p>
<p>It just shows you’re rich enough to afford a trip to Ireland.
I went on a Canadian culture enhancement trip once. A lovely experience of my dad getting pulled over for speeding by a real mountie.</p>
<p>My friend’s family got pulled over when they went to Mexico for vacation. His mom tried to bribe the officer with a $1 bill.</p>
<p>Needless to say, it didn’t work.</p>
<p>^ Funny, should have gone for 20.</p>
<p>My friend’s mom is the stereotypical Asian mom to the max. Just like mine.</p>
