Update...

I was called a few weeks by the Study Abroad office. They told me I needed to take a couple of quizzes (in order to test my knowledge of the process and Australia) by May 1. I definitely passed one and I'm waiting to hear about the other (I think I got it though).

According to K (the Study Abroad gentleman), I haven't officially gotten in, but "I got it."

I hope I hear from them (Newcastle and about the test) soon. I hate not knowing.
