Okay this whole applying for uni thing is doing my head in!
Basically i know before i apply im going to need to do something to help me get in!
So..... i was wondering which one of the following will be the best bet?
A Tertiary Preparation Program thru USQ?
or
Adult Tertiary Preparation Course thru TAFE?
Are they the same or is one better than the other? which one will i benifit more from?
Some Unis look more favourably on their own prep packages... but it also depends on so many things - work experience, application as a mature aged student, any previous studies etc etc
I haven't been much help but it might help to contact the Uni and see what info they have for potential students
u have been a help - i didnt even think of contacting the uni i wanted to go thru and see what they had to offer to help me get in! i will do that on monday! thank you
They are going to have pretty much the same content I suspect...it is really down to the hours and which one is easier for you to attend. TAFE is looked on very favourably at most universities anyhow so go with your personal choice and good luck!
i did the tertiary prep through USQ i really enjoyed it i met some great people online who are now my very close friends and study buddy's i think it depends on where you want to go to uni through usq you have automatic entry to USQ only once you pass the course though if you did one through a tafe it would count towards your qtac application and you could apply to the uni's of your choice though you would be competing for a placement eg school leavers etc does that make sense you go for it
I looked at doing some courses through Open learning Uni, but found that I couldn't then use that combined with my stat test score. I wanted to make sure that I could do that with whatever prep study I did to give myself the best chance of the best entrance score! The ATP is correspondance and you hve 6 months to do the units in, but you would have to do the language and learning module first and then the biology. Each unit is approx $150 in cost. I guess it depends with the Uni prep course through the Uni's whether or not it gives you more of an advantage doing it through them!
I know it's really overhwleming trying to know which path to take, but you'll get there in the end and be glad at how well prepared you are!!!!!
Candice - i wanna do BMid next year - now from what i gather i have enough to hopefully get me into ACU - but that is pretty far away - so ideally i would like to get into UQ Ipswich or Griffith Logan - i as far as i know USQ at Springfield dosent have undergraduate BMid - which in a perfect world if i did that would be the perfect location for me!
mamasupha - as u know im so confused with all this stuff - and yep it is so overwhelming!
Shazz - how long did it take u to do the prep course thru USQ? OH MAN if only USQ did BMid!!!!!
angelaartsstudent - thanks i think im going to need all the luck i can get!
