CSU CSU Dentistry: Q&A and General Discussion

[A1]

This is not correct - the only criteria is UMAT. If in doubt check with the university

I'm curious why then in this document > Workbook: CourseStudentProfile

there's none under "Admitted on the basis of other criteria and ATAR was not a factor"
while there are 26 under "Admitted where both ATAR and additional criteria (eg. extra test) were considered" ?

Did anyone do a degree at CSU for one year and then transferred into bachelor of dental science? If so, how much did you get?

Hi guys,
I am interested in studying either oral health or medical imaging at csu? But i am not sure which is better option in terms of jobs wise or even the degree as a whole.
Can someone help?

Hi. Is there still a GPA minimum of credit needed? I saw another post saying that atar/gpa is used for people with identical interview and umat scores

Also I am in UNSW so we are doing trimesters next year. DO they take 1st yeaer GPA or GPA until the point of applications? THanks

Approx how much does it cost to stay over night at CSU (2 single beds in 1 room or 2 rooms) for the interview? The team says they'll give us a quote but no approx price is given.

Do I need to complete a personal statement for Dental Science at Charles Stuart Uni? I can't find this information in the website and I am a school leaver. In addition to this, Is there any direct application other than UAC? Thanks.

Sorry my question is, I wish to know whether there is any direct application through Charles Stuart on-line portal, in additon to application through UAC?

Have you applied for the bachelor of dental science at CSU?

Hey guys
I recently got an email from Charles Stuart telling me to move up my Bachelor of Dental Science telling me to move up my preference list for UAC, I just wonder what this email is implying?

Ooh nice I already had mine at top preference. Here's to hoping it does mean what we think.

Previous years CSU contacted successful applicants a few days before the Dec offer date and suggested they placed CSU at 1st pref. This implies if you have CSU below meds for Dec the offer may be locked away by UAC rather than released.

As I have explained before, the intent of locking away is to enable UAC to give the CSU offer to another applicant in Jan if you are successful for a med offer.

Wait but they haven't even interviewed yet? Maybe they just want people who are gonna interview putting it at their top preference so that when it does come to offer time they don't have to worry about doing it then.

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that the universities do not actually know where you've preferenced them with UAC, but just know that you've listed their course somewhere. The CSU email could have been something that was generated automatically and sent out.

Damn I didn't get an email and I applied :c

I believe the unis can find out your prefs if they want to (Gemsas says so in a FAQ). But they are NOT to make offer decisions based on this knowledge, that's UAC's job.

This what the email said pretty much, I didn't really make much of it when I first saw it since I haven't had interviews yet so it just doesn't make much sense, but I just saw the title of this email and it is sort of getting me paranoid.

Reads very much like a generic email.

Probably would be something they send out to everyone who has CSU not first preference. Thanks for sharing

Yea definitely since I just ignored it when I saw it couple days ago, but this title is really baiting my emotions. Can somebody who also applied for CSU that doesn't have it as first option confirm Cal's suspicions?

Seems to me more than generic. It points out specifically @Rico has Dent highest among (any) CSU prefs but not highest overall. That wouldn't be the same for all applicants to be generic.
