5 reasons why I should go to Hawaii

Part of my application for international exchange. In case you couldn't tell, I desperately want to go to Hawaii but I don't think I meet the minimum GPA requirement. So if the ISS department of the University of Hawaii at Manoa happens to see this - would you please consider taking me in Fall 2010 regardless?

UPDATE: Okay so now that I've had a better look at the application forms, there is no minimum GPA requirement for inbound exchange students.. WIN!

Haha u made me laugh. I recently got accepted, I don't know if I should go or not. mmmmmm

@betsabel DO IT!!! I had the best time over there on exchange. Did heaps of the aforementioned outdoor activities on three out of the eight main islands and managed to get straight A's (although they don't count towards my GPA anyway lol). Also, do bring a sweater because they like to blast the air conditioning in all the buildings and on all the buses.

Bravo and best of luck! If it were up to me, I'd take you on initiative and good, old-fashioned chutzpah alone, something sorely lacking in many university students regardless of GPA.  Well done!

I had to look up "chutzpah" in the dictionary.. :-)

@WherethisAllStarted Good question actually. Lots of out-of-state undergrads just like any other college in the USA.

@jteruel671 ok, sorry to ask questions, but I'm curious. I'm from Jersey and honestly would love to go to Uni of Hawaii at Manoa. Were there alot of out of state undergraduates there?

[jteruel671]

@jessigee8. Graduated there a year ago, all you need is about 2.5. You'll be fine.
