Hi All,

I got ITA and I am filling out my personal activity details.

I was in university from 2011 to 2014. Took two summers off and went home. Was able to find an internship for one the summers in Canada.

Do I need to list all of that down? For now I just put 2011-2014 Educational and did not list any of the summer activities.

Please let me know

Thank you

Congrats on the ITA!

Summer vacations are quite expected as part of the university calendar. So if you did nothing but take time off, I think it's OK not to mention it. However, if you worked or had an internship, you should definitely list it.

It is quite OK to have overlapping activities - meaning, you can keep the entry, " 2011-2014 Educational" as a single entry, and add an entry for your summer internship. Just make sure there are no gaps : )
