    DD wants to be a Midwife, TER scores, Deakin or ACU?

    Ok, DD is confirming her subjects for final year VCE and wants to be a Midwife.

    What score does she need? The darling seems to think she only needs a pass in Maths and a certain score in English to get in. I'm sure its harder than that..

    I've read back through some old posts is the TER score of 94 still correct?

    So at ACU you do 3 yrs straight Mid, otherwise one year Nursing, 3 years Mid?

    She will be attending various Open Days soon, so I suppose she will get more info there - I just think she isn't quite aware of the scores she needs....

    Thanks for your help xoxo

    Just signing up for this thread because DSD is interested in midwifery too. It's a while ago since I looked Lulu but I think some courses required Maths and some didn't - don't quote me on that though!

    i think ACU bac. midwifery is very high as in 97 or very similar and they dont take many school leavers!! more mature age people, check with nelle as a good friend of hers is doing bac. of mid through there and said there are only a couple of VCE people in her course

    From the VTAC site :

    ACU Melbourne took 26 yr 12 students to their midwifery course and the TER was 75.5

    Deakin took 19 from yr 12 and TER was 89.05

    atrobe 80.25
    Monash 80.45

    VUT 66.1 took 10yr 12 students

    Clearly in TER means the highest score that was knocked back, not that you ahve to get that score to get in. May courses that have interview compnents take students who got less than the TER

    DD is going to do nursing in NSW next year hopefully, the marks vary from 60-75 depending on the uni and all said you had to do English and most wanted a science too.
    Maybe she could do nursing first then midwifery?
