Ad Astra based on First Year Results

    I was wondering whether anyone knows what kind of GPA you need to get an Ad Astra scholarship based based on your First Year Results?

    I'm doing a Business course (I think they're given out based on school) and have a 4.1 average. I know someone that got one with 3.9 but he's doing Arts so maybe it's higher/there are fewer for the business courses. So yeah, if anyone has any idea I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

    I also got one in Arts with 3.9, have a feeling the Commerce people have to be up near the 4.1 mark because there's less room for ambiguity in their exams (there is no such thing as a perfect history essay for example) and because Quinn is allocated 2 scholarships based on First Year results. You may be safe, you'll find out the first or second week of August.

    Yeah I'm not that hopeful, just thought I'd check, cheers for the reply.

    Know someone in commerce international who has a GPA around 3.9 (that's including semester one this year)

    McKrab just for future reference I don't think stalking someone's LinkedIn profile counts as ''knowing'' them.
