Do You Need a High GPA?
No. GPA is not required for this program as well and IELTS is not needed.
I was a student with a GPA of 2.02, but still, I was selected for the SUSI Exchange program in 2017 because of my statement, my leadership skills, my volunteer activities, and yes interview. Read my SUSI Personal Statement.
- Personal Statement: You need to relate your statement, and answers with the SUSI program and the questions that have been asked in the online form.
For example, I was a student of Computer Engineering, and SUSI is about leadership and public policy. I had to make a statement and convince them how my program and SUSI can help me in the future and what change I can bring to my community.
