    I got in as a mature age student (way back when ), but I don't remember having any extra entry requirements, beyond filling in the normal forms. My school results were good and I'm obviously not from o/s, so it may have just been that I didn't need to, but if it can save you any work - for sure ask them! Ask if the SEAS is quicker/easier than the STAT/pi option too.

    It's all a bit confuzzling though, from what I can see.

    I don't think there's any need to apply now (I take it you're not going for mid-year intake). They only assess all applications once the date has closed, so you may as well wait until you have it all together.

    Thanks Jennifer, my high school results were pretty good so it would be excellent if they were recognised in some way as part of the application. I will cross my fingers! It's also good to know that no applications are considered until after the very last application date, I wasn't sure if I was lessening my chances by doing it this way.

    So now all I need to do is decide what to wear to the open day!

    Found a small sentence hidden in the middle of a looooong page which says that STAT is required for all nursing courses if no tertiary study has been undertaken in the last 5 years. That's me! I knew there was some reason I thought I needed the test, so am off to apply. Thanks for your help Jennifer, the Australian system of university application is so very different to what I am used to, it's just taking me a while to get my head around it.
