Title: How easy is it to get into Monash Enhancement?
Post by: werdna on October 13, 2010, 10:53:04 pm
Anyone know if competition for this program is at all fierce? How easy is it to get in?

And do they look at your 3+4 subject results? (Not for the prerequisite subject)

Just maintain an A/A+ average across your subjects, and if you did a 3/4 that was not a prerequesite then they just count it along with your average, so try and get 40+ to give you a boost on getting in since they see you can get all A's and then a 40+. Although, if your report shows you are getting A/A+s in your 3/4 along with your 1/2s then it should be fine even if you got much lower than 40.
I had a pretty low English score, and then A/A+ average for 4 subjects (did accounting also and did horrible too since i never went to class), getting 44 in psych and got in. Though i probably would have gotten in anyway even if i didn't get my 3/4 score since my grades on my reports had been good in a few subjects.
I'm sure you can get in (considering your aiming for 98+)!

my school's a bit iffy with reporting, they have a L~VH scale with criteria such as "class participation", "listening to others" etc then on our online school accounts there's a report where they show EVERY letter grade mark on all of your assessments.

I'm thinking of attaching that to my report to show off my A+'s in Japanese but im feeling a bit paranoid with my one-off C's and my 2 UG's (undergraded aka fail) :\ Would Monash care about having a few crappy marks? :\

No. Well, in my experience they don't.

What are you thinking of applying for?

I am really shit at maths and in year 11 (though i tried hard :[ ) this showed; however, I had references from all of my teachers saying how hard I worked, and i specifically said 'I'm not doing maths next year anyway and will only be doing the subjects that I'm good at' and because I did well in all of the subjects related to the course, they accepted me. Not too hard! :)

Just get references from teachers

seriously it shouldn't be much of an issue if you think you are capable of it and your teachers agree. I got in with two crappy study scores that I am sure you will beat so easily.
