General Profile of students who applied for exchange?
I did a rough search and yielded fruitlessness, but I figured if there was a thread like it, it could easily be merged.
I was overcome by a burning curiosity to know the outcomes of how students went when applying for study exchange. Then I thought, it would be nice thread to read with profiles of students' applications and whether they were successful or not. Of course one is always at liberty to disclove however much or however little they desire. Hopefully someone out there agrees!
edit: Guh, I should have changed the title! I was most interested in the GPA, but i realise others peeking at this thread, may or may not be interested in other factors aside from GPA. Apologies!
Date of application - Date of notification of outcome:
What university/universities did you apply to?
(if you had back-up universities, were they in different countries, were they similar institutions?)
Did you apply through Student Exchange (partner university) or Study Abroad(directly to the institution)?
Was the language of instruction English or did you have proficiency in the country's language?
What courses did you apply for?
(were they cores? all electives?)
Did you get nominated by your home university?
(If you're still awaiting confirmation, then you can edit later
)
Did your partner/host university accept you?
(If you're still awaiting confirmation, then you can edit later)
What key elements made up your statement of purpose?
(more or less dot points of what personal achievements/aspirations/etc were made under the criteria used for assessing the statement of purpose for your university. eg// President of some club, prize winner for some academic competition, emphasis on the course differences for your degree, overseas volunteering experience in the country you're applying for, etc)
What was your GPA at the time of applying was
(For most universities, there is a minimum GPA required to apply for semester/year abroad on a student exchange/study abroad. If the minimum was 2.0, did you get 2.6? 2.1, 3.5? If the minimum was 3.0, did you have a 3.2, a 3.8?)
Who wrote your academic referrals/letters of recommendation?
(your first year prof, a colleague doing research)
What sot of financial aid did you receive
(did you end up getting a scholarship? OS-Help..etc)
