I am planning to apply to Monash University (BBus (Accounting))or RMIT (Bachelor of Accounting). For Monash the Clearly in ATAR entry requirement is 83.3 (equal to 31 IB Score), and the ATAR entry requirement at RMIT is 70 (equal to 25 IB Score). These ATAR values have been converted using this link http://www.vtac.edu.au/pdf/ib_notional_atar.pdf So what I wanted to know was the likelihood of getting into these courses if I got the required score or above, or am I already guaranteed a spot?

I was just wondering if anyone knew what would happen at ANU when your IB score fulfils the entry requirement but your converted ATAR does not? For example, the entry requirements for the Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Law (http://studyat.anu.edu.au/programs/4105XBARTS;overview.html) are: Entry Requirement Entry Level ATAR 96 QLD Band 3 International Baccalaureate 37 However, the IB score of 37, when converted to a Notional ATAR, was only 95.90, just below the required ATAR score. If your IB score is converted before you apply for university (I know this is done through VTAC in Victoria, and I'm not sure about NSW), does this pote…

Hello! I'm thinking of applying to New Zealand universities (especially Otago University) but I want to know around how many IB points is actually required. On the website they stated from 26-28 points but the course I'm thinking of is very competitive and 'limited' (it's a biomedical/health sciences course) so I'm assuming that they would in the end accept a student with a much higher IB point . Does anyone know a person who got accepted or applied to the course? If so, how many IB points did they have around? Thank you!

Hey guys, I wanted to ask those who are applying to australian unis, do you apply for the sem.1 in february or the sem.2 in july? I've read on UNSW page that IB students who finish in may can apply for sem.2, but does that mean we cannot apply for the one in february? And does it make any difference? If I apply for sem.2 does it mean that I've missed a part of the course, or what? I'm new to it, so sorry if it's a stupid question

Hi all, i'm a prospective student currently eyeing on the Uni of Melbourne. I'm interested in their geology course but their requirements simply state that all we need (aside from a certain score) is one subject in math (sl/hl), english and a natural science. My natural science at the moment is biology, and while I have checked and confirmed that it is accepted, doesn't geology focus much more on the chemistry and physics of the planet than biology? Won't this pose some sort of problem for me if I were to be accepted?

Hi there, I'm aspiring to study Medicine in Australia, preferably in the state of NSW. So in Australia, as you may know, applications for universities work with the UAC (http://www.uac.edu.au), which controls the admissions and submits them to most universities around Australia (as some universities control admissions directly without the affiliation with UAC, but most are affiliated). But as per the UAC's website FAQ section, they don't work with predicted grades and will only take in the final results once they're released (in my case, July 2016). The problem is, my school will start making us apply to universities starting this September (in IB2) as most of the studen…

Hi I am an IB student in Hong Kong and is an Australian Citizen. I want to apply to Australia Universities next year as an undergraduate local student. I am confused with the system that Universities (which offer Medicine) operates. Some universities offer MBBS as a postgraduate (Syndey) and some as undergraduate (UNSW) and some you have to study an undergraduate course in thier university before studying a postgraduate course in Medicine in their school. I don't know which universities operates on which system. I mean in the third example, if i take a undergraduate course prior to a postgraduate Medical course, would i have to study for a longer duration as a result? And…

I made a bad judgement when I started IB and studied Maths Studies instead of SL and dropped out of Chem into Bio HL, and so now I am not eligible for the Bachelor of Science course I want to do at UQ. I am planning on starting uni mid-year, and so was wondering if anyone knew of good bridging courses in the Brisbane area or online... I found some but am not sure how to go about getting more information or whether they are credible to UQ... Any advice or sharing of past experiences would be very appreciated!

Hello! I am a year 10 students who is in the process of choosing for my IBDP subjects. I have gotten interested in doing medicine and the only science subject I could get is biology HL. I couldn’t take chemistry because I didn’t take it in my IGCSE. So do I still have a chance to become a medical student with only bio HL and no chemistry in any Australian universities? Thank you for you answers

Hey guys, So I've done quite a bit of background research into each of these three universities and the commerce structures they offer. I'll break up my findings into each of the respectively universities: Deakin Although Deakin is supposably renowned for their Commerce course, they don't offer as much depth in terms of electives and majors as both Monash and Melbourne. Likewise, score-wise, only around an ATAR of 80 (which I think is between 27 - 29) is required to get in. I know they offer a Deans Scholar program which has an ATAR of around 95, if we look past the facade of the high enter all I think it really is is some extra 1v1 tutoring (which at the end of the day p…

So I'm almost at the end of my first year of IB (yay?) and am extremely stressed about my mock exams (which I'm currently doing). I reallyreally want to apply to QUT in Brisbane to do the creative industries course there, and the entry requirement is 28 points. I've make the mistake of leaving revision for my mocks a bit too late at will probably get very low marks (I estimated the range of marks being from [very bad to best] 24-30 points). Because I want to apply to Australia, I get to use my final IB grades when submitting my scores. Should I be worrying about my mock exams? I've been given A LOT of external pressure by both friends (who are trying to go to the US…

Hi, I may attend to the business degree as an international student at the university of sydney next year. (i study ib diploma in the uk btw) I saw many negative reviews about this university for some reason even though it's well known university in Australia. Some say the teaching quality is poor compared to ivy league unis or russell group unis, and others say it's too easy to get into there compared to those mentioned group unis and therefore it't not prestigious. Although the university ranking for business management at USYD is around 46 in the world. Here is the question; What's the position of the business management student at USYD in terms of the academic level?…

The title pretty much says it all. I have UNSW as my #1 preference and it'll be staying that way. However, I'm not sure whether to place USYD #2 or UTS #2 (I'll be including them all regardless). My physics teacher, who has been a professor at Western Sydney Uni, said that UTS is really good because it's more hands-on than theory based. What do people think? Thanks!

Hi all, I'm currently in grade 10 (15 years old) and living in Australia. I was just wondering, does anyone knows of a full medicine scholarship that I could apply for being an Australian? I'm considering applying for the Australian DUS (Defence University Sponsporship), however I don't want to serve in the defense force for 6 years after graduating. Is this the only way of attending med school for free? Please let me know of any undergraduate full scholarship opportunities, they don't have to be from Australian universities. Any help very much appreciated. Cheers

Hi everyone, I'm starting the IB next year and I have a friend who I was going to go with to schoolies. But since i'm doing the IB i finish my exams about a month later (?) than she does and she's doing the HSC. Do you ever feel annoyed/left out/whatever about the fact that your IB exams finish later than HSC exams? And I've heard a lot of people saying that you don't hang out with HSC people, and basically you don't really talk to them for the whole 2 years. Is this true? Thanks

I'm having a small dillema and can't find my answer on the university websites. I'm predicted a quite average score of 32 but, with a little bit of luck and a fair amount of effort, I could potentially bring that up to a 35. I'm applying to 4 universities in Australia (16 courses in total) to start in March 2020. The initial plan was to apply as soon as the results come out (July 6th) but a lot of the universities say that some people apply far in advance (Monash - "some courses may close a few months or a year before the start of the course, while others have quotas. Aim to have your online application submitted as early as possible"). Does anyone know whether it wo…

Would maths studies allow me to get into an Australian University such as "Queensland University of Technology" or "University of Queensland"? I want to do international business, maybe even deans honours (you need an OP 2 or rank of 98 for deans honours), but I am wondering if Maths Studies would allow me to get into those courses (mainly deans honours) I am not very good at mathematics, and I don't see how calculus and trigonometry would be useful for international business. Plus, I heard that you can't get into university with maths studies from a teacher? On the website it says English is all you need, and maths A, B, or C.
