I went on the Italy trip before my freshman year- it was probably the best thing that I could have possibly done with my summer. You get a great group of friends (most of whom become campus leaders), learn about the MSC and different organizations on campus, build a close relationship to key Honors staff, and get to go to Italy! It would definitely be helpful to your application to have had leadership experience, but if not, just find a way to set you application apart. Show passion, ambition, vision, and a unique perspective, and you could still be chosen. Good luck!
