Preparation
1. Check on the Internatioanl Affairs Office's website, to see what are needed for application.
2. Taking TOEFL exams:
TOEFL or other language exams are required for application, one should take at least once before applying. Normally the application process starts in December, remeber to get your TOEFL results before it. Besides, great TOEFL scores will play a really important role while applying. Just make sure to excel in it.
3. Your average grades at NTU
One's average grades at NTU also play an significant role in application.
4. Taking the auditions/exams by International Affairs Office
Well, I am not sure whether this part really matters. Personally I did the exam badly, but my resume, TOEFL scores, and grade papers saved my life.
5. Sending out choices for schools if you lucky get past the audition.
School choices depends on oneself and the limitations bounded by contracts between NTU and exchange schools. There is not much to talk about. Just choice as one wishes.

Why go exchange?
My first reason to apply for exchange is that I felt trapped. I've spent the past 6 years at NTU and it seems to be the same all the time. Furthermore, I can't figure out what I would like to do for my thesis. So I decided to grap a chance to change--to apply for exchange.
Before starting out, I checked the NTU International Affair Office's website about all the requirements to apply for the program and ask for some pieces of advice from a few friends who had exchange experience. I also do some googling to check out more about it.
Then, it comes the hard part--preparing for the documents and everything else.
