I spoke with them today, they confirmed mid October is what they are aiming for. They said they had an influx of last minute applications so they've been delayed.

I have called and spoke with both VTAC and La trobe regards to GPA previously. Said they will convert GPA to atar using their own scale (which they cannot provide a detail on the conversion), but said silimiar to the ones available online that we can find using Google, i said the only one that i have found for AU was the one from Queensland Uni, they said similar to that.

in that case a 6.5 converts to a 99.5. is that competitive?

Are you applying with Aspire? Do you have SEAS? Base on their website and past year data. If you have bonus like SEAS it would be fine, if not i am not too sure.

You can actually search La trobe ATAR calculator, put your atar score and fill in the rest for SEA adjustment and see what's the estimated calculation.

ok that is weird according to the monash calculator for seas my living location bumps up to a 99.95 from a 99.5. on the la trobe one nothing happens.

Thankyou. So I’m in first year physio at Latrobe, and I’ve gotten above 80 in all my subjects for first semester. If I do the same for second semester, I should have a gpa of 7? So equivalent atar of 99.95? Or is it different because 1st year doesn’t have much weight?

Oh wow. That’s great news you’ve made my day. Hopefully we all get in.

Isn’t LaTrobe looking at WAM though instead of GPA for non-standards?

hey guys also since im applying to JCU, according to QTAC it would be better for us to use conversions under the 'other unis' on the table. i think it would be better for us to use the second column

i dont think so, it would be whatever your uni provides.
