I had been thinking how grateful I was that you posted this thread oldfort but didn’t want to hijack your thread where you were looking for sugestions. I had often wondered if there might be pitfalls as far as grades are concerned with study abroad especially where classes might be taught/graded differently. My daughter had also been looking at Australia. I am very surprised to hear that there would be an anti woman bias in Australia. </p>
<p>I think it is a moot point for us now as it seems that my little procrastinator is not going to get round to applying after all (and this would have been her last chance). I was really disappointed about her not taking the opportunity for what I think would have been a once in a life experience. But after reading this thread maybe I am somewhat less disappointed!!</p>
<p>Please keep us posted about how it all turns out.</p>
