    Just got this email about studying in the likes of USA or austrailia.. The only downfall is the limited spaces..
    Would love to do this but I'm going to get an amazing GPA.. Is this what there decision is based on or do they take into account my great personality ;)

    It's based on a 30 minute stand up routine you perform for Hugh Brady.


    Really, I think it's mostly your GPA. The forms I filled out for Erasmus, it was your name and details, and then grades. So there's nothing else they could really go by.

    I went to Australia.
    Apply if you want to go - they can only say no!
    It also depends on extra curricular activites once your GPA isnt too low (have to be above 3.3 anyway for popular spots + extra curricular stuff too)

    As I type this I'm looking at the CN tower in downtown Toronto!!

    I managed to wrangle a slot to Canada after only applying in late April! Now, I'm no epic scholar (my gpa hovers just under 3.0), but if you want it bad then chances are you will get it! Best of luck, crack on and dont take no for an answer!

    Btw, I'm an orts student if thats any good to you!

    I meant to add that it was amazing - and not just Australia but the whole going away experience. I couldn't not recommend to anyone. Do It!!!
