Hrmm, just realised that newsletter with 7 people going from Canberra was from 4 years ago XD No indication if it's increased or decreased since then. From the article it looks like they all have a pretty impressive history in terms of experiences in and with Japan, like you do. I'm going to have to find a good angle to make my meager achievements look good!

When you talk about that stuff, it doesn't sound as bad X3 I guess it really comes down to making the best of what you have to work with ^_^
Hopefully more people have been sent out of Canberra since then. I'm sure the number has went up especially since the program grows every year. Are there any other places that are in a feasible distance that you can apply from? When it comes to achievements and such, while they would be helpful, I really think the essay is going to be really important, so make sure you nail that pretty good
That will really tell them about you and if you plead your case well, I think you'll be fine
They can't go just on experiences alone, because not everybody has the same oppurtunities.
