Reply With QuoteI've been waiting since early Sept.At the same I'm going back to work 4 days after the main round offers come out so I'm on one hand wanting the time to go faster, and on the other hand, would like it to drag out as much as possible!

Bec, wow $6000. That would really make it difficult for people to afford if you have to pay for it upfront.. thats more than uni fees for nursing per year. The EN course is like $800 per year at my local tafe! I waited 2 weeks and 6 days for my results. Hopefully you'll get your result tomorrow becaause it will have been 2 w and 6 d since you did yours! Why do they make us wait! All they have to do is run your answer sheet through a computer! Cant take that long can it!
Can we just fast forward to when offers are due to come out! I'm impatient!
My hubby has just applied for his post grad thingo and had an interview for it last week. He finds out in a couple of weeks if he got in. He applied for a scholarship and his work pays for it if he is accepted. He was telling me it would be cool if we were both studying at the same time. I think its just going to be him though!

No mail today..results for STAT here go online on Monday, suppose I will have to log on at work
Bec
Hmmm ah yes University was that all a dream, after viewing my STAT results I am so much better suited to my job and being a mother BRING ON IVF!! I have trouble working it out thou, I just looked at Melb Uni site that said they would consider you if you had a STAT of 150. I have that but my percentile was Sh*t what do they go on

Bec, I just came back here to ask you if you had recieved your results. Looks like you have
I thought for some reason they went off your percentile (because isnt your TER a percentile rank?), but the impression I got from the admissions person at the uni I applied to was that they use your overall STAT score rather than your percentile. I'm not sure though, she didnt even sound so sure herself! I got over the 153 minimum (only just though), but my percentile was crappy as well. But, I was told that because I did STAT, I am not competing with all the schoolies, but rather competing with all the other people that sat STAT. Not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing though considering my percentile was a bit ordinary! But I have to say, at least my STAT percentile was higher than what my TER was! LOL!! Friends, shopping and boys were much more interesting than history and maths etc in year 12.

alright guys, I know that this TISC site has a STAT to TER calculator: http://www.tisc.edu.au/tiscguide/calculator-stat.jsp. I don't know if it only applies to WA but maybe it'll give you an idea of where you stand?

Karina,
The more I have looked around the better I am feeling, My quantative and verbal were pretty much equal shows I suck at both! But combined I either think I have just enough or a touch short. I have emailed the faculty at deakin and asked them what STAT was there minimal entry (lol obviously I need the bottom end extreme case).
Arghhh what annoys me the most is that I know if I was studying something I love I would do really well in it.

Sushee I have been there and it asks for both written and multi...I was only required to do multi- not sure of Karina
Bec
LOL Karina I just hope I run into those that I am smarter than cause I could greet them all by name
BellyBelly Life Subscriber
Yeah they require both, which I did do. WA unis require both components for mature aged entry.
Registered User
Yeah I was going to do that to Sushee, but I only had to do the one component to.
10 days till early round offers! ( sorry girls I am on the count down to the big let down for me not getting in! )
Registered User
aww Bec Its such a boring test anyway, and I'm the same as you - I do well if I enjoy what I am studying. You still have a chance if your mark is over the minimum. I guess it just depends on how many other people applied? I did well in the quantitative but not in the verbal section (because I am just not good at arty farty stuff) I think my verbal score was 151 and my percentile in the verbal section was like 33! but I got 165 and 83 in the quantitative section, and then they averaged it out and I'm still disappointed with my mark though. I have no idea what to think of those scores and the uni coulnt give me much info except for the minimum from last year. When I got my result I was so upset because I thought I had totally wasted the $105 it cost for the test and the $40 or whatever it was to apply for uni. But I guess its one of those things - if you dont get in you can always re-do the test or try alternative ways to get into uni like TAFE or something.
but now I just have to wait wait wait.
I hate waiting! I applied for a job the other day and Ive stayed home all day today in case they call!!! PMSL I am such a lost cause somethines I think.
Ohh I did only the multiple choice one too. thanks for link though Sushee.
Aww Relle, how exciting that early round offers come out so soon. How many rounds of offers are there? Keep positive! What did you apply for? If it was midwifery or something, I'm sure your Doula-ness would help you get in (if they count it).

Waiting for home time kills me...lol which reminds me must do some work instead of searching for any snippet of information on STAT results university acceptance and stop annoying universitys.My desk is like a bombsite and I've had no lunch but ate lots of lollies and thinking about a hotdog!!
Hmmm yep Hotdog.
Registered User
hehe Bec hope the uni can give you a bit more info. They're a bit vague on their websites arent they.

Karina: I got an email back today saying :
No there is no minimum stat result for our University but you need to have in mind that your application is assessed based on a number of aspects which includes your qualifications, work experience, stat result etc etc to select the best possible candidates.
I have finally been given a TER score that is above last years intake....but with all that taken into account .....its still in the hands of the powers that be
At least I have a TER that is competative and will be considered and that is all I can ask.
Bec
Registered User
Yay!! Good news on your TER! Mine is too old to be considered but I wouldnt want them to anyway! Its a good 20 - 25 points belore the absolute minmum!!! haha I suck!
Registered User
Karina from what I can gather ....lol not too technical
145 is a TER of 70..that is the cut off for UniSa nursing it increases one or two points above that, each 2 marks above that, I was amazed that a guaranteed entry to my Uni was only 50 !! last year that is with no CSP assistance. LOL I am not that rich to be able to do it that way thou
Registered User
Good luck to the Victoria girls...first rounds are due out on Thursday 2pm!
I have had a great week this week with so many good things happening LOL I think I have ran out of luck but oh well we will wait and see
Registered User
OK, Bec, you seem like the wizz at all things to do with TER, I scored an overall score of 160 with Percentile Rank of 74.4. Any ideas, what sort of a TER I may have from this. I didn;t have to sit both, so can't plug it into the link Sushee gave us. Yep, under 48 hours to go till early round offers - Goodluck anyone in for early rounds!
Registered User
How exciting. Do you get to look them up on the internet or do you have to wit for your offer in the post?
