Any problems with KU Leuven, VUB or Antwerpen (on the Dutch side)? Or UCL, ULB or USLB (on the French side)? Or are Belgian schools your absolute safeties?

thanks, just want to expend my horizons :slight_smile:

I think @Catria has it pretty close though I must admit to being thrown off a bit by the GPA.

I know the GPA is low but I’m actually the first of my class, can’t really do any better here, it just sucks that it’s hard to explain that in another country where 81 has a total different meaning
