Can i get into uni next year? (1 Viewer)

[Musegirl]

Im going to enroll into the Diploma of Business (Marketing) at TAFE and im just wondering if thats good enough to get me into the B Commerce at UoW in 2005? (I have a UAI of 70.85 btw)

Hi Musegirl - best to check with the Uni you want to apply to. I think there are a few course offered at TAFE and upon completion you are eligible to enrol into Uni. Also make sure you find out the required grades you need to make in the course in order to make the move to Uni - such as I'll be doing the Cert IV in hlth & hope to enroll into Uni once I've completed the course - however I must pass with I think it's either distinctions or high distinctions.

Best of luck!!! Bluesky100.

the uai for BComm this year is 81.00, u r at least 10 uai points behind it, but u r also doing a diploma...if u get good marks in that u should be fine as u r a NRSL right?

For those who don't know,

NRSL = Non-recent School Leaver.

I think when doing a Diploma you have to remember that you need to get a Distnction in your Diploma in order to have any chance as your UAI of 70.85 is a fair way of the cutoff. The thing with entering as an NRSL is that the further your UAI is to the cu-off the more the higher your Diploma marks will be in order to cover that gap differences in your UAI as you will be chosen on the combination of both your UAI and the Diploma marks which UAC will derive a NRSL rank for you where it's 50% of both.

hahah so people who get a UAI of less than 30 and get high distinction at tafe will still have no chance of getting in uni...
hahahah

 

[Mr Wiggle]

If that happens you put on your UAC application that i didn't do year 12 so only your diploma marks are used to derive a NRSL Rank.

PS: I"m not liable if this doesn't work.

also this is for Musegirl, the chick that started this thread, NO YOU CANNOT GOTO UNI NEXT YEAR, bcoz diploma courses go for 2 years. so you may be able to goto uni in 2006. =P

 

[whaddup03]

i never knew the uai counted towards a diploma??????
i'm doing a diploma of architectural technology and after i complete the 2 yrs and get marks of credit (70%) or higher, i can get into 2nd year of university. The two years in tafe sort of substitute for 1 year at uni, which saves alot of money...

 

[Mr Wiggle]

i think a credit for your diploma when applying for Uni such as UNSW, USYD, UTS will not be sufficient to gain entry as lots of people will try for that same spot your applying.

Forgot i noticed that your from Singleton so i assumed your going to apply for a regional Uni so IMO i think you will make it.

 

[whaddup03]

yeah singleton, what a shit hole.......newcastle tafe and newcastle uni have a connection or something like that, one of the teachers said

 

[Mr Wiggle]

In that case the chances of getting in have just increased by a greater percentage.

so by doing a diploma at tafe you are able to transfer to uni?

 

[Dingo2004]

whats the point
you can score a job with your diploma !!!

 

[die_tryin]

Yes, but it's not garranteed because you still have to work for the marks to get a transfer to Uni.

Yes that maybe true but if you wanted a better job down the future or looking for a promotion than a Uni degree will help greatly than if you didn't have one.

 

[santaslayer]

a uni degree will always get u more money and better job opportunities for advancement then a diploma......unless u win the lotto or something
