So, what is GE3?

So, the program I am going through to study abroad is GE3 - Global Engineering Education Exchange.  Basically, the application opens in early January, and is due March 1st.  The application wasn't anything amazingly difficult, fairly standard.  It consisted of questions regarding language abililty and education level, had a few relatively short essays, and needed two recommendation letters.

One thing that I am not entirely sure on, is whether you NEED a specific school in mind for the application.  When I filled out the application to GE3, as well as my first meeting with Drexel's study abroad program in fact, I knew exactly where I wanted to go, and it was that school or nothing.  But when I think back to the application process, for some reason I feel like you could have several places in mind when you apply.  I believe IIE (will explain in a minute) contacts your school with information regarding what forgeign schools they are sending your application to.

Here's a list of all the schools that are part of this program.


The list is split up in two sections, but they are more or less the same with just one difference in how they work.  The left side is GE3, and run by IIE, the Institute of International Education.  Students of the GE3 schools can go to any school any school on either side of this list.  The right side of the list is GE4, the Global Education for European Engineers and Entrepreneurs.  Students of the GE4 schools can go to any school on the left half of the list.

That's as much general information that I can think of regarding GE3.  If anyone reads this and has any questions about the GE3 application or anything just shoot me an email.

T-minus 28 days 'till departure.
