No, but in order to understand what you’re saying and convey something that is meaningful to me and others I need an example. Saying that if you do something really impressive you’ll get into Harvard without telling someone what is considered to be really impressive is not very helpful advice.

If by difficult circumstances you mean that it’s a competitive program and thus difficult to be included, then yes, I agree, an abroad program under difficult circumstances would help with med school admissions, but that’s not because it’s abroad.

If by difficult circumstances you mean that it’s an extremely expensive program making it difficult for many people to afford, then no, I don’t think such an abroad program would help with med school admissions.

If by difficult circumstances you mean the person lives in a hut without running water, then no, I don’t think such an abroad program would help just because of its difficult circumstances. If the difficult circumstances lead to a great essay that could help, but then it’s because of the essay, not the circumstances. A bad essay about the difficult circumstances would be worse than a good essay about easy circumstances.

Please help me understand the point you are trying to make.
