Welcome welcome!! 
You are our second Canadian So what are you planning on studying? and any particular hobbies - though we have been talking about martial arts.
Hope you enjoy the people and discussions that go on on this thread! **</p>
<p>**@Prosper
Welcome to you too! Fellow African 
Well if I still count that is xP Intended major and any particular hobbies? **</p>
<p>Undecided but most likely economics, maybe international relations or film as a minor.
No martial arts experience here but I wish I did one⊠I want to learn that Brazilian one. Thatâs sort of dance-like? Canât remember what itâs called!</p>
<p>Welcome @kdengg and @prosper !!</p>
<p>Hope you all will enjoy the thread and share more about yourselves and where youâre from. Itâs so interesting to learn about people from other countries :)</p>
<p>@Kd
Capoeira! Awesome, well we do have a couple potential ecos majors here that you hopefully get along with :)</p>
<p>I just noticed I have to catch up a lot of posts.
New international applicants? Thatâs amazing. Welcome </p>
<p>I participated in boxing for one hour, but the people really scared me off, they were so brutal :D</p>
<p>Raith - OhMaiGawwwddd. You were in a newspaper? 
Congrats bro.
Possibly something to tell the adcoms 
Well these admissions are so frikkin cryptic. </p>
<p>KD - Welcome aboard! Econ major here too. Pol Sc minor btw. :)</p>
<p>Prosper - welcome. Hahaha, this thread will keep you busy man :)</p>
<p>Capoeira!!! YES!!! </p>
<p>And as for Econ, yea it is quite the popular major haha.</p>
<p>@Sunny
Yea, we have been really busy today :P</p>
<p>@Blue
I donât think it is that major⊠It seemed more of an advert for my school showing off their top students (there were about 10 of us out of 40?) - but we are one of the top A Level schools in South Africa⊠The article was just showing our symbols and a photo of us, nothing too important (I am hoping to be top in Maths or Physics in SA though, but I will only find out in a month or two I think 
)</p>

<p>Recently we have compared the Cambridge A Level syllabus to one of the Indian examining boardâs Syllabus in Maths and Physics. We have learnt a little of the CAPE syllabus from the Caribbean and have a little bit better understanding of the US AP system as per Boss. The German system (though not the Abitur) seems pretty specialised although they require you to do a lot of subjects. We have also been offered a very short insight into the Italian system through Penny.</p>
<p>We have been discussing sports again; rowing, boxing and martial arts. We have a couple very avid footballers (soccer) and a few swimmers. A lot of very interesting hobbies and sports; photography, computers, riding, kite surfing, rugby, cricket⊠the list really does go on!</p>
<p>We try offer advice and knowledge about Dartmouth as well as our perception of admissions processes and small bits and pieces of other universities.</p>
<p>We are always welcoming new internationals - we donât care about your marks or scores; just bring your personality and have some fun with us! </p>
<p>**GO GREENS!!! ** </p>
<p> <strong><em>Just an Update</em></strong> </p>
<p>Say hi and post the following:
Name:
Country:
Hobbies/ECs:
And if you want⊠intended major:</p>
<p>Woot woot !! Go guys !!!</p>
<p>If we all go to Dartmouth we will at least know 21 other people. (lol) ⊠That should make getting used to the place much easier :)</p>
<p>That is if we all get accepted and go! Imagine getting to campus, going to the international orientation/pre-orientation and being like, âHowzit going guys?! Finally good to meet you guys in personâ no introductions needed (apart from maybe our actual names 
though I think Sunny knows mine⊠and anyone reading back can find Sunnyâs not sure if anyone else has posted their name.</p>
<p>Raith - Still. The only time i had my photo in a newspaper was when i played soccer. And rowing. And after my 10th grade.
Also, the newspaper photographers make me look bad :X
I mean, yuck, baddd photoo.</p>
<p>On a side noteeee, 49 (?) days to go!</p>
<p>On another side note, i just got some free whisky (Raith this is to make you jealous) :p</p>
<p>Lol whatâs your real name, Raith ? You just made me curious haha.</p>
<p>Hey guys, why dont we make a secret fb group that has all the members on here ?</p>
<p>@Blue
Well this is my first time (to my knowledge) So youâve one⊠two upped me there
My photo wasnât great either⊠weird thing for me is one of my best photos is my passport photo haha!</p>
<p>Well I donât really like whiskey much⊠which whiskey is it though if I may ask :D</p>
<p>Raith - Haha. Well youâll cover up
Haha, my passport photo sucks as well. Ugh. It makes me look like am demented. -.-</p>
<p>Bartender says its âDewarâs 18 y.o.â
Im not a whiskey fan either but well. :p</p>
<p>@Blue
Richard McIlraith</p>
<p>And not everyone here is on Facebook <em>cough</em> Sunny <em>Cough</em> xP</p>
<p>Not sure about Dewar⊠but 18 y.o whiskey tends to have an amazing aroma (not a fan of the flavour)âŠ
I really prefer wines⊠give me a brilliant Merlot or Cab Sav any day! My dad actually has a bottle of Merlot that I think is something like 20-30 years old!! We are keeping it for a very special occasion where my sister, dad and myself can enjoy it!</p>
<p>@Raith
Yea, I know your name
Really? Your passport photo? My photo is horrible. :D</p>
<p>@guyinblue
I donât have facebook :D</p>
<p>Wow.
Youâve got a cool name man
Ill PM you my fb link, send me a req </p>
<p>Seriously?
Sunny you gotta get a fb account! :o</p>
<p>@Sunny
Btw, how did you find my name? Did you just type in Mauritius and Raith?? xP
I love my passport photo! Which is rare, but I think it looks great compared to most photos of me anyway.</p>
<p>And you really need to get Facebook! :P</p>
<p>@Blue
Awesome, Iâll add you as soon as I get the message
I donât think it is anything special⊠what would have been funny was that I was almost called Nicholas (or some form of it)⊠and since my sister is Alexandra⊠we would have pretty much been named after the late Tzar and Tzarina! Which my mum thought wouldnât be right 
haha :)</p>
<p>@Raith
You have send me your facebook link which includes your full name at the end of the link, wasnât hard to find out :D</p>
<p>@guyinblue
Seriously, I just donât need it :D</p>
