Hi ben,
I'm an international applicant,i've received an email from jcu saying that my application for med was unsuccesful.can I make an appeal using those following question?
You'll probably find that once you are unsuccessful that there are no ways to appeal a decision of rejection, provided that the university has not made any procedural mistakes (such as in calculating your marks - ATAR conversions from overseas, for example).
The reason for this is that if they allowed such appeals, that there would then be appeals from almost every single candidate that failed to gain entrance. This is a huge waste of time for the university with no payoff whatsoever for them.
To be honest though, I would be very careful about applying to any medical program in Australia nowadays as an international student - you are highly unlikely to get an internship in Australia, and most countries (especially Western countries) will prioritise their own graduates over you - you are literally a very low priority to every country offering internships.
Without an internship, your medical degree is essentially useless - you can't practice medicine without completing your provisional training.
I think that they maybe dont understand how to read grades. Because here, to get dean's list you have to get 3.5 and above out of 4 GPA. If I reapply do you have any tips that what I should do?
If your uni provided JCU with the wrong grades or the wrong conversion, this is NOT JCU's fault, and this would have to be something you take up with your own university. However, if JCU miscalculated your marks, then this is something that you can take up with them.
Bear in mind that many people still do not gain entry despite having the highest possible score (for you a 4.0 out of 4.0 GPA).
Which university is this that you are talking about in regards to the "Dean's list"... and has JCU stated anywhere that being on a Dean's list at their own uni would have any bearing whatsoever on entrance?
