<p>For her semester abroad, I think my daughter’s STRIDE helped her to be accepted at Oxford this spring where she’s working very hard but thriving. She was just invited by her tutor (their term for professor) to come back to do a Master’s on two English poets, so she’d be automatically accepted if she wants to go that route. To pick up on what TheDad is saying, all this will go on her transcript and her resume and certainly can’t hurt when she applies to grad schools. In my opinion, if you get a STRIDE, if you can swing the rest of the finances, you should do it, no question, end of story.</p>
