Early Entry Re-assessed (2 Viewers)

[glo-stick91]

Hey Everyone

I was just wondering if anyone else here got an email from wollongong uni about accepted early entry yesterday?

Because even though i didn't previously meet the conditions of my conditional entry, i still got an offer which said my application had been "re-assessed" and was now accepted, as long as i put it as my first eligible preference on uac

Just wondering if anyone else is in the same position?

Lol, this happened to people I know last year, who got UAIs of like 50.

Generally it's because UoW isn't popular enough to fill all it's spots otherwise.

If you really want it, go for it though.

Well I only got in the 60's for my atar so any offer I get I'm gonna take. lol.

Otherwise I have to go to like Canberra, UWS or something like that, and I've wanted to go to UOW for ages anyway so I'm happy

 

[bio_nut]

Then congrats and hope you enjoy it!

 

[glo-stick91]

Thanks bio-nut

I'll do my best! The new problem I have is finding somewhere to live.... lol.

Oh- and finding a new job

Early entry is early entry so no point splitting hairs

You should totally live on campus, you should definitely join the Weerona crew.

Thanks Lachy - That's true. All it takes is a foot in the door

And Mat - I thought it was too late to apply for on campus accommodation? But that would be pretty cool

Well, I am unsure how quickly filled all the campuses get (some such as Weerona get filled up very quickly I am told) but you should ring up UOW and see if there is any hope of being considered. It's worth a try

Hey King Nothing!
That's awesome!
I got into the Bachelor of Media and Communications (Journalism) so im stoked about that What about you?
Yeah, by the time I was ready to look at on campus accomodation, applications were closed. But it should hopefully be ok coz I've got a few other friends moving down there this year for uni so we're all looking at moving in to a house together But good luck getting your accommodation
Yeah, for sure.

Hey OP, you should apply for college even if you think there are no more spots left. I don't think there is a closing date for college applications (just call them for spots first).For example, I know many colleges start giving out offers as early as November, but I just got 2 offers. I got interviewed on Wednesday (via phone) and received my offer on thursday.

The funny thing is, the day I got the email about re-assessing my application thing, I was at the options day at wollongong uni and spoke to wollongong college reps with my friends, fully intending to fill out the application when i got home. But then yeah, i got the email and the rest is history.
'But i had been looking at Macleay and APM for their journalism courses for a while now. But if it comes to it, then maybe i'll look at the colleges again.
Congrats! Which courses at which colleges did you get an offer for?

I wanted to go to UOW, so I aimed for what I needed and was only 2 marks off in the end. It has nothing to so with bludging. And it's my local uni so no, I won't be travelling "for hours", mind you, I'll still be moving down there. If I went to somewhere up in sydney, then I would be travelling hours.

haha wow, I was 2 marks away as well.. I needed an 80 for Ancient History and 80 for English Advanced. I managaed to get 82 for Eng, but only 78 for Ancient sigh*... but still got in
btw, nice come back!! I'm with you on that one. UOW has pretty good reputation, from wat i've heard anyway.. although, il be travelling like 5 1/2 hours to get there, but it'll be well worth it
I'm doing B International Studies/B Commerce :angry:
yeh.. I hope I'l be able to get into campus. But anyway, goodluck with yours too!

Haha. Thanks
Yeah, i needed 80 in legal studies and ancient history but i got 78 in legal and a 77 in ancient, so technically 2 and 3 marks off, but still close enough Well done on getting 82 in english by the way. That's a good mark.
Yeah, well UOW is (as the brochure i once read said) apparently ranked in the top 2% of uni's worldwide or something. lol (not 100% sure on that one but it still sounds impressive).
5 and a half hours?! Where on earth are you from? lol. Yes, i'm sure it will be worth it
Wow-that seems like a pretty cool course. International studies would be fun
Well i hope you get in too. And thank you!
Might see you down there

that is what im talking about, im guessing she means getting there and getting back, mmm all that time on a train, does it seem worth it??

its not like it would be very effective study time either

haha nice, i only got 76 in legal... thanks! your marks are pretty good too
Yeh I think the 2% is suppose to mean that UOW is in the top 200 universities worldwide or something..
Yep, for international studies you get to travel to another country to study for a session-so it's gonna be awesome!!
can't wait to move down there; beach there and everthing haha

nahh, it's gonna take around 5 1/2 hours to get there (not back as well).. so yeh it's gonna suck!! but it's not like il be going back and forwards all the time. Also the thing is, I prefer UOW over UC, CSU, and ANU-in which those uni's are closer, but will also take hours (1 or 2 1/5 to get there).
+ UOW has the course I really want to study, the enviroment there, + some of my mates are down there too. So it's really up to what you like and if your up for it or not-in which I am! So it's worth it for me.
Anyway, which uni are you going?? if it's not UOW-no offense, why're you here??

Whoa. This is just freaky. UC, CSU and ANU are all 1 - 2.5 hours to get there from where I am too. But UOW is just 3-4 hours for me. hmmmm....
