Ok so I got accepted to the Italian studies program, and I know I will do well given my Italian background and all. 3rd year I absolutely HAVE to go study abroad for a year exchange. I wanna know if anyone has done it (not summer exchange) and if the process is hard and the marks you need to have to be considered. Thanks!!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have no personal experience with the exchange program, but I do like Giada de Laurentiis and ricotta (…what can’t you do with it?!). So, I hope that some of our Askastudent voyeurs step out of the shadows to help you get to Siena.<\/p>\n

I am assuming that you have scoured every pixel of the ISXO website<\/span><\/a><\/span>, right?<\/p>\n

Here you’ll find that a CGPA of 2.25, and an annual GPA of 2.5, are required to be considered for an exchange.<\/p>\n

The other requirements are generally straight-forward (statement, resume, etc.). The 2 reference letters are significant, because one must be academic – and that ain’t easy in U of T undergrad. Be proactive. Suck up to your Italian teacher’s NOW!! Bring them i dolci e un espresso<\/em>. Conspicuously complain about the thickness of American pizza crust, and brag about the 2 lion statues you just bought for your front lawn.<\/p>\n

I did notice that the courses at this university are not offered in English. So, I hope that your Italian background is more than just an obnoxious inclination to pronounce Italian word with a thick accent. You know what I’m talking about… like when you’re third-generation Italian-Canadian friend orders bruschetta at a restaurant.<\/p>\n

“Hi, I’d like a coke with no ice and an order of broo-skett-tah<\/em> please.”<\/p>\n

The actual application form is available online, and it does a good job of summarizing the requirements:<\/p>\n
