Correct Comma Use



Hello,

are commas used correctly in the sentence below?

After completing a student exchange program that brought me from Germany to Canada, my

high school academic achievements, and life experiences in Peru, Chile, Mexico, Germany and

France qualified me to enter university three years earlier than my peers back in Berlin.

Thank you so much in advance!
