    Eh a 3.7 GPA is a first class honours degree....

    Competition is tough for places. Aus is prob the most popular though and least spaces so depends where you want really. Seems to be mainly done on grades unless you have some stand-out extra curricular activities. For Aus you would definitely need a good first.
    Goodluck

    Yeah i think my gpa was around the same when i applied, i had a sports scholarship too which helped.
    Definately apply, its amazing! To be honest i think once you have decent enough grades the International office (I know they dont deal with b n l students but might be similar) tended to look at extra curricular activities etc... Had to do an interview too! But that's the good part cause then they are thinking about you and you can show them what you are made of.
    There not going to send some social retard away for example!
    Apply! Do it! So so so good. Wish i was still there

    Applied last year for this, California and Chicago were definitely the most popular. It seemed to be a matter of grades and the application form, there was no interviews as far as I can remember. I was offered Melbourne but never took up the opportunity because I had decided I only wanted to go to the States.
