Hey there, I was considering it for a very short amount of time, before I did a quick google search and found articles such as this: "http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/08/06/2975266.htm"
This coupled with the fact that Adelaide is kind of a town in the middle of nowhere.... I'm not really sold on the idea. But it could be interested if you haven't traveled much before..
hey all. GPA is definitely not the be-all end-all, nor do I think it's even the first round of screening/cut off for most social/oriented programs
I graduated with a 2.49 from McGill.
I have been accepted for MPP's/MPA's at George Washington, NYU, Carnegie Mellon, University of Manchester (England)
What got me in?
maybe GRE's (690q 710v 5.5W)
PS
Past exeperience (4 internship/1 job)
3 languages spoken
And I'm 22! work experience and languages win it over GPA for me
