You can take a leave of absence for six months but I think you have to have already done some study. Not sure about deferment. In all honesty I would do it. Chances are one of those weeks will be mid semester break, and also the easter long weekend, so you're cutting out on time you have...

I had exams on 28th, 29th, 30th of October, and now I am waiting for my last one on the 10th of November so I can fly back home. Sucks. Good luck everyone!

Its quite easy to work out. Your GPA will be averaged out and then converted into a selection rank. This selection rank will then be averaged with your ATAR and this mark will act like your "new ATAR". In the Transfers sticky section there is a thread about transfers with a pdf. down the...

Dunedin has about 120,000 people but I have only been here about 5 months, I live right near the centre so it doesn't seem too small. I used to live in Sydney, and I grew up in Canberra, so Armidale will be a lot smaller than I am used to. A big part of Armidale's appeal is also the...

QTAC has an October offer round, and my entry is based on my 2008 UAI, as I haven't done a full year of study, so I got my offer early, I wasn't expecting one until the main round though! I haven't been to the UNE campus yet, as I am currently living in New Zealand but I am hoping to make it...

It doesn't matter if you transfer from Medicine at UNSW or Arts at ACU or whatever - as far as transferring goes you GPA is worth exactly the same. Your GPA is averaged out to a number like 4.5 or 5.3 or something to that affect, depending on how well you do, then that number is converted...

I'm planning on attending UNE next year - I'm transferring but will be taking a fair few first year courses. I got my offer a few weeks ago, as well as an offer to UOW, but I am pretty sure I am going to UNE, which is exciting. Anyone else planning on UNE for 2010? What degree are you...

It won't make a difference in the actual transfer process. Your GPA is averaged with your UAI regardless of the university or degree you go to/do. If you want to transfer then choose a course that you will do better at, to get higher marks and a higher GPA, although remember you have to do it...

Most of the exams that I do (essay style ones) request that you reference certain readings or theories that you have studied in the course. You can also often use outside references but generally exams are just evaluating how much you learnt from the course and course material. You still have...

Look at the graduate trainees page of DFAT here. It states that most the graduate trainees have either double degrees or honours/postgrad experience. A language is not necessary, and I doubt that you would get a posting where you would really want, especially on your first posting, so a...

If you have applied and declared the two semesters then chances are you will receive an offer in the main UAC round which I believe is released 20th January 2010. Offer round information is on the UAC website.

To transfer into a course UAC averages out your UAI/ATAR and your university GPA equivalent score if you have completed 2 semesters worth of study. If you are applying for a transfer this year and at the end of the year you would have completed two full time semesters then they will be taken...

Generally the ATAR cutoff represents the lowest score to gain admission into the course in the main round. Often some offers are made below that cutoff in the late round if there are spaces available, or the university published a higher cutoff. Although many universities offer alternative...

The 2009 cut off ATAR is 84.4. Look here. I believe the UAI is 83. This could change for 2010 but generally not significantly. UWS does not have a great reputation, this could be for many reasons, such as available units and courses, university ranking, research funding etc. I'm sure there...

Pretty much all of the offers are made in the main round, which is in usually around January 15th. Its not first in first served. Most applicants do not receive their qualifications/marks until after November or December - such as ATAR, university transcripts and other qualifications. Offers...

I'm pretty sure you can apply right up until January but the longer you put it of the higher the fees and the more offer rounds you miss. I would apply ASAP.

You have to apply through VTAC which is the Victorian version of UAC. Its the same process you do when you apply for university, except it costs more and you put in your previous study info. Applications are already closed so you are going to be hit with a late fee, so get on it soon...

The Group of 8 isn't based on rankings, as many people have already replied and told you. The universities are also not the "oldest" in Australia, although many of them are older. They are a group of research intensive universities. I'm not saying any of them are bad universities, but...

Its a multiple choice test that you do in January and it can raise your UAI by up to five points. It mainly offers entry into core degrees but you can also use it towards Law etc. but the system changes. ANU - Admission - Division of Registrar & Student Services I just looked and this year...

It doesn't directly correlate to difficulty or salary but many people apply for degrees which offer a higher salary on graduation, therefore creating a higher demand of the course, and raising the UAI. It depends on what you want to do. I know multiple people who do not have degrees at all and...
