<p>I know that “you can go anywhere in the world”, but is study abroad open to everyone? Do you have to have a certain GPA to go for a semester? Also, do they offer financial aid? How much?</p>
<p>Thank you!!</p>
<p>Some programs require a certain gpa. The hardest ones to study abroad at are Oxford (3.85 to apply) and Cambridge (3.6).</p>
<p>what if I want to go to australia?</p>
<p>I studied abroad at the Australian National University which is the highest ranked, but not necessarily the best Aussie university. If I remember correctly the minimum GPA was 3.0 with some departments requiring higher. I don’t think that any required over a 3.5…I’d guess that the U of Melbourne and U of Sydney would have similar criteria. If you go to Penn then I would recommend one of those 3 since they are generally considered the three best universities in the country.</p>

<p>And for Oxford and Cambridge the required GPA varies from college to college. Usually it is 3.6 or 3.7</p>
