Will being a AFS Argentina foreign exchange(Summer community service) student, help me get into med school?
I am a senior at high school planning on traveling aboard to Argentina for 2 months. I am planning on participating in community service where can do one of the following: - Volunteer in orphanage -Help teach soccer to children with disability -work on environmental projects restoring parks. Which activity would be best for medical school? Do you that med school would like the fact that I went aboard to Argentina or not really since I did it during senior year at high school?

It is better to wait until college when you actually get credit and there are international study offices that will help you. Also, it's cheaper and you get your money's worth. None of these AFS deals will work - better to work in a medical clinic for an exchange and colleges have those. For high school, volunteer locally in a free medical clinic or the hospital. You didn't say if you live in a small town or city. Check out the Committee for Safety of Foreign Exchange Students too. Lots of good info.
