Yeah, still waiting here... and so are 3 of my friends. I hate the waiting... lol
Matt didn't elaborate on the UQ situation?
Matt didn't elaborate on the UQ situation?
u bring a ray of hope lol! thanksI posted this in another thread, but just so you know:
I have a $150k line of credit from the RBC as of last week. They required a cosigner because it's an international school (my brother is going to school here, same bank, didn't need a cosigner). They just require that someone signing is staying in Canada for the duration - they don't actually check credit worthiness, so those with poorass parents (such as my own) should be fine.
Only my Mom signed, and she doesn't have a job and has almost zero assets. So... you should be fine! Try RBC!
My application was submitted June 11th to UQ................Do I even have a chance at this time?
The academic year in Australia starts in January, so those of us who have already applied and been accepted are starting in January 2009. That's why the deadline is next week.
oh! mm, that poses a problem. i'm entering my final year at univ in the fall and i won't finish until june 2009; i don't think i can apply to melbourne next year because their site states that they're not accepting a class in 2011 just my luck
Hey guys,
I've checked with RBC. They definitely want a cosigner. They said that they always do a credit check for all cosigners. Brady, I think they did a check but sort of behind the scenes.
Zuck
Sigh... still waiting on UQ here... my application was submitted back in April. anyone else still waiting for a reply? I emailed oztrekk last Monday and they said that the UQ admissions office was moving offices, therefore causing a delay, and that a batch of acceptances was supposed to come by the end of last week. but still nothing...
I'm getting very worried, because I am leaving for a trip to China in less than a week, and I won't have regular internet access. I sure hope I hear something this week...
This is for my fellow UQ SOM 2009 applicants who are still waiting for a decision.
I had a brief conversation with Oztrekk Matt yesterday and he has informed me that UQ is delaying its next wave of admission offers due to the dean's absence in the last couple of weeks and due to the faculty offices being moved...Furthermore, there's a strong possibility that UQ SOM is waiting for the responses from applicants who were granted admission in May. The deadline for the $10k acceptance deposit is July 11th so the new wave of offers shouldn't be delayed much longer.
Here are a few numbers that Matt tossed at me yesterday to help all of us get an idea of how far the rolling admission process has progressed.
*Numbers updated as of July 9th
- Number of offers issued by UQ to Oztrekk applicants: 70
- Number of offers accepted by Oztrekk applicants for UQ: 37
- Number of offers declined by Oztrekk applicants for UQ: 26
- Number of offers still pending decision ($10k) by applicant: 7
*Note that the deadline for the deposit is July 11th (tomorrow)
Finally, here's a stat to help you figure out where you are in the assessment pecking order:
I applied on April 6th but due to the sketchy University of Ottawa who didn't issue my official transcript until June 9th I have been moved for the assessment list and am sitting in the 40th position. This position only applies to students who have applied via Oztrekk. If June 9th means 40th, you can have an approximate idea of where you are in the assessment list.
Furthermore, Matt told me that a few applicants don't even meet the 8/8/8/M or 2.67 minimum requirements so those who do meet them might jump up in the list.
At this time, they have assessed applications received at UQ SOM up to the second week of May.
*NON Oztrekk applicants are not factored into these stats therefore that variable remains*
**This is NOT OFFICIAL numbers issued by UQ SOM or Oztrekk but simply numbers Matt shared but as per usual he offers very up to date and reliable information**
lol they are prolly sittin in their offices pissed that we keep buggin em hehehehe so I followed gohabs, torontonerd and HanmoLi and got the identical email from [email protected] on wed night as well.
just one question: have aussie gotten enough doc in the rural and remote area already? how come they dont allow us to do intern there anymore??
Because of this process, I don't believe that any IMG acer applicants get accepted to UQ for the following years cohort.
You are mistaken. I applied through ACER in mid-June and received my offer from UQ last week. They do different rounds of admissions for internationals since people like myself wrote the GAMSAT. Those results don't come out until May as opposed to Feb with the MCAT.
If you check UQ's website it states that you have until the end of June to get your application in for classes commencing Jan 2009.
