LaTrobe La Trobe Dentistry: General Discussion

[studier]

In the same boat, I've obtained semester 1 results but semester 2 has not yet been released, how are they going to assess our applications if so. Are you sure there is a 2nd round? I can only find one round on the VTAC website

There is definitely another round, don’t worry about that. However, I am very curious to know how many spots they allocated during the most recent round. If they offered many more this round to non-standards, that could mean pretty slim chances for the following round.

I definitely could see this being the case as once year 12 students receive their ATARs they will be eligible for the upcoming round, meaning they may send a lot more offers to school leavers.

I do not know whether having a full year of university results available by the next round improves our chances or not.

Does anyone think I have a chance with WAM 92 (first-year) as non-rural that did not study first year at La Trobe?

probably, it would be good to check past dentistry offers who have a similar profile as you.

Just wondering, students who are currently studying at unsw undergrad, the results for t3 gets released on the same day as ATAR I believe. I was wondering if there would be chance that we will get assessed in the same pool as other applicants? (i.e. first-round)

 

[dfghjhkljfdasfa]

Does La Trobe prefer internal transfers over external transfers for non-standard applicants?

 

[dr23]

Does anyone know whether non-standards get considered this december round?

Don’t think so. Only Nov and Jan.

Does anyone know if La Trobe or VTAC tells you your GPA/ATAR if you ask them? Im overseas so Im not sure what mine will be converted to, and does anyone think this year's minimum will be lower than 99.75? Last year it was 99.75 but the year before was 99.55

I didn't get one. Non-standard, non-rural.

Same, didn't get one either. I knew my WAM was not high enough to get an offer, but I tried my luck anyway!

For reference, my WAM is ~82 + SEAS eligibility.

For those who are in the same position as me, how high is your WAM? Only asking to see if applying next year would be worth it with an improved WAM of ~85, no point in trying if people with 90+ WAM are not getting in.

Close to 92 WAM, La Trobe student, have not received an offer

That's beyond crazy, I had a close to 90WAM interstate student. There must be some other criteria involved, did you fill out the personal statement on VTAC as well?

I am convinced that no nonstandard metropolitan applicants have gotten an offer. I got 93 range WAM and nothing.

no offer for me too, 88+ WAM (ns, nr). It says we have to pay to be eligible for next round offers but I dont see where we need to pay it, does anyone know how/if we need to pay it?

does this mean i dont have to pay?

I would assume not, but I don’t have too much experience with VTAC, let me know if you find out, thanks

Where did you see the info about having to pay to be eligible for next round offers?

If you mean the VTAC's fee - we pay it once for the whole intake cycle including the multiple offer rounds.
