Admissions Centres Preferencing: General Discussion

[A1]

How do I put in that I want to be considered for bonded at WSU considering that they don't give me a course code for it? Is there a box I tick when I apply to the actual university?

I don't think there is a direct application to WSU. They treat all applicants as interested, if you qualify for bonded they make the offer and if you don't want it you can decline.

thankyou!

now that WSU has a joint program with CSU, if I preference WSU first and UNSW second but end up getting first preference of WSU but the CSU (Bathurst campus) what happens? Is there any possible way to list WSU then UNSW then CSU??

Oops I forgot about the CSU extension, in which case JPM might do the same as JMP asking you to submit a direct application to indicate your campus preference.

Similar to the problem I outlined two days ago, unless UAC introduces some changes there isn't a way to split your prefs to cater for unbonded vs bonded vs Port Mcq campus vs CSU campus.

Thank you! I don't think it actually changes much though, because it doesn't look like you can list them as separate preferences, it's still one preference as far as UAC is concerned, yeah?

...

As LMG mentioned you cannot indicate in this screen that your less preferred campus CSU is also to be placed below other schools. We need to petition UAC to provide this option, as well as for unbonded vs bonded vs Port Mcq campus.

yep only one preference unfortunately...

I agree, I'd much rather list all the Sydney campuses first (i.e. WSU Campbelltown, UNSW Sydney) then go on to list others (CSU Bathurst, UNSW Port Macquarie)

I am wondering why QTAC starts to charge you after 3 free preference changes. All the other TACs allow to change as many times as you like for a single fee.

How much is QTAC's application fee vs the other TACs ?

It's a money making opportunity! Simple as that.

How much is QTAC's application fee vs the other TACs ?

QTAC $45, UAC $70, VTAC $41, SATAC $45, TISC $55

 

[hazell]

QTAC $45, UAC $70, VTAC $41, SATAC $45, TISC $55

also QTAC charges $77 for non-standard applicants

 

[A1]

QTAC $45, UAC $70

There you go, UAC charges you $25 pref-change fee in advance whether you use or not

Spoiler: Sarcasm

Of course, because their applications are just so much more difficult and time consuming to process. *Rolls eyes*

Good thinkng

Hi guys,

I have read all the questions about preferences, but I am still not getting how preferencing affects the chance of getting an offer.

1. If my preference list is WSU> UN instead of UN> WSU, does it change my chance of getting an offer from UN?
2. I am not a super competitive applicant, can preferencing strategically increase my chance of getting into any med school?

cheers

No & No, unfortunately.
