[quote=Anonymous]I studied abroad junior yr many years ago and would do it again in a heartbeat, but I do think it worked against me in college admissions ( “study” abroad is not really about the studying and) and when I applied to college fall if my senior year it was essentially just on the strength of my transcript /ECs from freshman/sophomore year. My dd spent senior year abroad which was a risky move but ended up not hurting her at all. She was also in Asia on one of the State Dept funded programs if you have any questions happy to answer. In general I think study abroad a mixed bag for admissions - Les’s demonstrated rigor, chosen immersive challenge. Only you and your kid know how to strike that balance.[/quote]
