As a UMEP student, I logged onto my student portal and clicked "view my entire study plan" and it tells me I got an offer for Arts at University of Melbourne! So I guess I'm the first VNer to get an offer! So I thought I'd start this thread. Even though I knew I was going to get in, it's actually a really, really cool feeling :)
EDIT: btw, my offer was for Arts at Melbounre. How did I not mention that?
-
Awesomness. Congratulations!
-
Congrats :), should this be 2011 offers? or Class of 2010 offers or something
-
well the sub-board is 2010 offers so I went with that:P it's for 2010 preferences I guess.
-
Here's to hoping that I get Comm/Econ at ANU. Stuff wouldn't jump by 7 points right?
Also, _aVo, what is the score needed for yours?
-
It was 92.15 last year so I'm hoping that I can make the clearly in this year
Good luck for tomorrow :D
-
That's pretty cool, congratulations!
-
So if I'm a MUEP student this coming year, will I be able to check if I get into Med :)
-
OMG I LOVE YOU.
YEAHHH SCIENCE AT MELBOURNE :D
-
OMG I LOVE YOU.
YEAHHH SCIENCE AT MELBOURNE :D
Isnt it 89.05 clearly in? You got in with ease ;-)
-
Ah, the study plan where everything is discovered early
-
OMG I LOVE YOU.
YEAHHH SCIENCE AT MELBOURNE :D
Looks like we don't even have to do the enrolment forms twice:)
and to the person asking, I don't know, check your student portal and have a snoop around.
-
So if I'm a MUEP student this coming year, will I be able to check if I get into Med :)
I haven't found a way to find out your course.. But it does say I'm an undergraduate student :P
-
I'm sure these results come as no surprise to you guys :P
-

Damn, should've done a MUEP subject so I can get my offer a night earlier haha
-

It's not supposed to but we UoM students use it to find out our results earlier before it appears on the electronic transcript.
-
Sorry, I'm stupid. Changed to 2011 offers =.=
-
just wondeirng
i put monash med first preference, but i did UMEP maths
logged in to check my study planner
found no offers from melbourne
would that mean i got monash med???
-
I'm scared I'm not even going to get an offer....
-

Is it really worth leaving it up to something as ambiguous as that?
Your performance and academic merit should shine through.
-

No, you clearly got into Arts at Monash instead. =)
Jokes - yes, you most likely got in.

If you had a Melbourne uni course second then, most likely, yes. Why else wouldn't you have an offer at Melbourne?
-

Lol, that study plan and its glitches are the only good thing about the portal.
Bachelor of Biomedicine at the University of Melbourne.
Oh, and that old course, that Arts (Media and Communications) at the University of Melbourne...
It's going to be a long week or so...
-
Transfer Mavis, do it for me :P
And congrats to everyone on offers so far
-
^well done andrew!
-
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEee THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP OP!
Bachelor of Biomedicine: Offered
YEAHHH :D
Nice andrew haha and congrats to others on their early offers ;D
Anyone going to federation square for the offers party? (not sure if that still happens...)
-
^ I'm planning on going to Fed Square, but I haven't heard much about it in the last few days.
-
Okay here is my beef. Last year it was like 18 degrees and I went to Fed Square and it rained all over me and my new top for like 40 mins before the HS people decided to give us the Offers thing.
So I think I will just get up early and get the paper tomorrow morning.
-
Oh dear :( Maybe I'll take an umbrella just in case..

Do you know what time they gave them to you? Doesn't seem to say anywhere the exact time they'll be released.
And was it at the seven eleven or was there a HS stand or something? Sorry for the noobish questions but it'd be good to know :)
And yeah, me and a couple of friends are going + chocolate buddha afterwards haha.
-
There is a stand, lucky them getting to stand under a tent while it rained ;)
I think it depends on the year/what else is going on as to where they would set it up but kind of at the bottom of the steps? I remember I read my offer next to those cafes and the female toilets while trying to RUN FOR COVER.
I can't remember the exact time but I'm fairly sure it's either 5 or 5:30, a couple of hours before everyone else!
And yes, DEFINITELY TAKE AN UMBRELLA. My shirt was such a punny and cool rendition of the periodic table and white and then all you could see was my bra.
-
so nervous its a joke.
the last 3 years of my life ocntained into one moment....
FGINERS CORESSSEDD

Wow, dedication - I'm sure you'll get in :) ...and I'll leave you alone now ::):P

As if you won't with a 98th percentile and 99.65. You would have to totally bum out every aspect of the interview. Like, if you don't get in I will be angry for you.

Dude, out of interest, what are you hoping to gain by correcting 10weid...? It's pretty clear that he's pro enough to not rely on his grammar on a forum to gain the respect of others.

You clearly can't take a joke. I'm sure 10weid can hence he didn't respond. You also obviously missed the heavily implied "rofl bro I'll leave you alone now". Relax man - seriously.

not as angry as ill be for myself..
lol i heard about a guy who got 99.90, 98th or 99th in umat, had what he described as a good interview, and missed out.. anything is possible..

Well if he didn't get the offer than it wasn't considered a good interview ( from the uni side).
I wish I can tell you to relax but I know the feeling...good luck.
today is a moment of truth :(
-
Anyone got any information about Biomed at Monash?
Is the ATAR requirement expected to go up or down from last years 92.7

I got my offer for Science/Law a few days ago :)
-
"This year VTAC offered 41,061 Victorian students placements at universities, TAFEs and independent colleges. With about 62,000 students applying for positions, it means 21,000 missed out on first-round offer"

Yeah, I'd say that's probably it. Unless you spelt your surname wrong :D
Only half an hour till u can find out for sure though:)
Edit: actually maybe try the course search. It's unlikely, but maybe they spelt your surname wrong..
-
Congratulations all :)
I didn't put in any preferences since I couldn't decide what course I wanted to do.
So mid year app for me but now I am thinking that isn't a good option :(

There are some instances in life honesty is totally unnecessary. This is one of them. ;)
If they find out later down the track, then sort it out then... maybe?
I hope it wasn't a mistake!

I got into aerospace@monash
but I feel like i wanna do science@melb ( which i listed as 3rd pref), is there a chance I will be offered this second round?
-
I got into aerospace@monash
but I feel like i wanna do science@melb ( which i listed as 3rd pref), is there a chance I will be offered this second round?
And which pref. was aerospace? If it's higher on the list than Sci, then no unless you lodge an irregular offer.
-
Science @ UoM
-
I got into aerospace@monash
but I feel like i wanna do science@melb ( which i listed as 3rd pref), is there a chance I will be offered this second round?
no it's impossible that you'll get it second round as the aerospace clearly in is higher. Your only option is an irregular offer
-
I got into aerospace@monash
but I feel like i wanna do science@melb ( which i listed as 3rd pref), is there a chance I will be offered this second round?
ahh ghey, it was first preference. Guess I'll just continue with it :) ireregular offers sounds too risky.
And which pref. was aerospace? If it's higher on the list than Sci, then no unless you lodge an irregular offer.
edit woops: irregular offer sounds bit risky :S so I guess I'll continue with aerospace :)

It's not risky as you have nothing to lose i.e even if you don't get it you can still stay in aerospace, and you have no chance of a second round offer anyway. All you have to do is call up UoM and ask if they have spots, and they'll walk you through it. I know someone who rejected Monash Pharmacy for UoM Biomed and it was fine.
EDIT: My wording was veryyyy bad. By reject I mean still accept the offer for Monash Pharmacy but tried for UoM Biomed as well, at no risk.
-
Congrats all you Monash peoples, lol Monash have done well this year. They've taken every 99.95er from my school, and let me just say to everyone in general. Congratulations with your offers! (Hopefully) You all deserve them!
-
Congratulations everybody !!!!
-
All offers are provisional subject to the conditions on this website and in the VTAC Guide, including those expressed in the application declaration, and the enrolment requirements of, and confirmation by, the institution making an offer.
I think I'm screwed.
-
Pharmacy with 153 umat, lol
149 here LOL
-
Aerospace Engineering/Science at Monash :P
EDIT: If you get your first pref you don't have to accept the offer or anything, right? It's automatically assumes you'll take it?.. Cause I can't see any "accept" button. . .
-

It's unlikely they offered it by mistake. If you email them and ask for confirmation that you've been offered a place then you can have a written offer to fall back on
-
UM I GOT DENTISTRY BUT I DIDN'T DO THE BIOLOGY PRE-REQUISITE! DO I CALL THEM UP AND TELL THEM THAT! WTF! HELP!
CONGRATULATIONS STEFFI!
Don't you dare tell them anything! If they fucked up, it is their problem.
They have given you an offer, I doubt it can be withdrawn. :)
-
UM I GOT DENTISTRY BUT I DIDN'T DO THE BIOLOGY PRE-REQUISITE! DO I CALL THEM UP AND TELL THEM THAT! WTF! HELP!
Don't do anything D:
A member on here last year failed a Methods prereq but got into his course fine

Technically, in the fine print, I think they could withdraw your offer. But I'm no lawyer so take my word as a grain of salt (ie. don't trust me on this one).
And as for first round: Commerce @ Monash Clayton

Steffi- I think call up tomorrow and don't say your name or anything at first and tell them the situation and see what they say. Also see what happens if you stayed in the course. Without them knowing your name they can't do anything o-o

If she's the only student in that situation, it's fairly obvious who she is. Just send an email asking for confirmation of your offer. If they confirm it, then ask about the prereq not being done.

Commerce/Laws at Monash :)

Commerce/Laws at Monash :)
Same here :D
-
I seriously would just shut up and take it. If they find out about the no biology thing, they will withdrawal it for sure, as they will probably get in shit otherwise.
No need for emails. They will send you enrollment details. Just wait for that.

-

For Monash, I'm pretty sure we have some online stuff to do and then rock up to the designated place and time for enrolment.
And enrolment packages should be arriving tomorrow, if not the next couple of days.

-
anyone else having alot of trouble nrolling on the monash uni site?
Yeah, it's not really working :S I might wait a bit later before I enrol :)
-
Why is UoM Biomed in so much more demand and popularity than the Monash Biomed? There is a difference of around 6/7 ATAR points..
-
i was 1% over the fringe for the atar score, i didnt get in my course at deakin..there was 59 people in the course (23 of them being year 12 students). what are my chances of getting in on the second round offer
over 49% of year 12's that made it in the course was on the fringe
-
Commerce at Melb Uni :D
See ya Deakin!
-
I am going to wait for my letter tomorrow and see if that offers any insight. Then I am going to call Latrobe and say matter of factly, I have accepted your offer but I didn't do bio so when do I do my bridging course.
-
Science @ Melbourne Uni!! Whooooo ;D

COMMERCE AT MELBOURNE UNI

-

That's a good way to do it. They would have to be totally heartless to reject you now though.

I agree with some of the other people that have posted, DON'T tell them anything unless you are uncomfortable doing the course without the require prerequisite. If you think you can manage it, the only possible responses you will get will be, "Oh... Ok then, don't worry about it" or "Ok a mistake has been made, I'm really sorry but I'm going to need to withdraw your offer," and somehow I think the latter is more likely. Fair enough, if you don't think you can handle the course without bio, give them a call and discuss your options but if you think you'll be fine then just sit back and thank your lucky stars that somebody made a mistake.
I got into Arts at Monash... A bit upset because I would have just missed out on Law with SEAS but I guess that's how it works. Crossing my fingers for second round or internal transfer after a year.

Why is UoM Biomed in so much more demand and popularity than the Monash Biomed? There is a difference of around 6/7 ATAR points..
It's at UoM
-

probably because lots of people think that if they do biomed, then they can automatically get into graduate medicine. they think hey!! medicine for an enter of 98!! then lots of them get in and end up disappointed..
apparently the same thing happens at monash, in the hope that they can get into melbourne grad medicine, but naturally nowhere near as much as melbourne where the course is..

I think it's pretty self explanatory.

What? I don't think anyone in biomed is stupid enough to think that "they can automatically get into graduate medicine" by doing biomed. That's just retarded..
-
There are a lot of year 12 students/new 1st years who don't know anything about entry to graduate medicine other than "I need to finish my degree".
Doesn't help that the uni markets biomedicine and writes copy to support the idea that it's a feeder course for the MD, when in reality it's not.
-
I actually think MOST people doing Biomed take it with the hope of going into graduate medicine.
I'd like to note that 95% of students in that course scored an ATAR of 98.45 or above, so if you didn't make the cut for first year, I don't think your chances are dramatically improving once doing Biomed.
Then again it is a second chance nonetheless, so best of luck.
-
The popularity of the UoM Biomed course is due to the idea that Monash Medicine is too selective (and possibly too out-of-the-way for students), and that students who complete the biomedicine course have naturally a "higher preference selection" for Graduate Med at Melbourne Uni as opposed to those doing the general sciences course. Personally, screw graduate offering, I want/need direct entry!
Also the prestige of UoM apparently precedes it, as back in the past it was the go-to uni for all things medical. Monash was apparently second-rate back in the day. :(
-
You don't need direct entry, you just want it.
And yeah, most of the students either intend to apply for graduate medicine or have at least considered it (perhaps 75% of students was the rough estimate)

Hey Russ,
Any statistics in the MD course yet?

That is one of the most popular courses since they are well renowned for it so don't worry, I am sure you will
have a good time in it.

Hey Russ,

Nothing official, there are plenty of rumours but nothing I'd give credence to. I'll ask MDHS next time I'm in (Friday)

Yeah, nothing official even though offers were made ages ago and in fact, I think the med students start at the end of this month!

Is it just me, or is anyone else having lots of trouble getting through Monash's online enrolment process? The pages load sooooo slowly!!!! I've spent hours and everytime I finally get to a new page, an error message comes up!! :'(

Update: The VTAC letter is basically the same as what we saw online.
Latrobe emailed me but its a generic welcome letter.
Tomorrow I will call and confirm my offer without mentioning biology.

I suggest emailing them. It's always better to have written evidence/backup.

Haven't really followed the iffets situation closely but am I correct in understanding that Biology and Chemistry are both required for Dentistry? When was this implemented and what other courses require Biology and Chemistry?
-
Implemented this year, but with mass confusion as their handbook didn't state it and the vtac guide said BOTH. Latrobe website only update it's "OR" to a "BOTH" halfway through the year apparently.
-
When was this implemented and what other courses require Biology and Chemistry?
First part: just recently I think... Biology was added to the mix last year if my memory serves me right.
Second part: I'm sure you can find that out yourself. ;)

I meant this year, like was Dentistry the only course affected by this change? (ie - nothing else?)
-
I reiterate. ;D
Probably not though.
-

They've probably waived it. Send a generic email asking whether that's the case.
-
emailed asking for confirmation...hmm
They don't have a straight email for inquiries, but some online system so I'll call up. Damn scared.
-
emailed asking for confirmation...hmm
Given the confusion and the wording, I wouldn't be surprised if they gave a little leeway with the pre-requisites - after all, what could be worse than having students crying, then making angry phone calls at this time of the year?
-
Yea but I did that after results came out before VTAC applications closed and the woman was pretty short with me when I attempted to bully her...she basically said "No I am sorry you will have to apply next year as a Non-Year 12 applicant"
Weird
..
-

My thoughts are that they were unable to implement the both requirement. If you start year 12 wanting to do Dentistry but have no awareness of the pre-req, you shouldn't be adversely affected by their failure to properly notify you of the changes.
Therefore even if they said - oh sorry - you would possibly have even legal grounds to challenge them and effectively enforce your place now that you have been given it.
But pretty much, my guess is that they realised their mistake and have subsequently made it an OR requirement for this year due to the issue.
You should ring them up anonymously as suggested. You should not act unaware though - I'd say that would make you out as dishonest and potentially may result in a situation further in the year where you could literally be in trouble.
But I'd suggest that because of the confusion this is a grey area. But really it seems objectively they have failed to implement their own pre-reqs due to their failure to notify you.
-
I don't think you could call up anonymously... there are around 90 to 100 round one offers that were made (in Latrobe Dentistry) and they could easily go through all of these students and see which meet the prerequisites and which don't.
But good luck iffets!

thanks guys, I'll just be grateful shall I?

agreed
i think the majority of us take the course knowing we will have to work our butts off to maintain the highest GPA possible and try for graduate med

Don't forget people do Biomed because UoM is the only university that offers Optometry and there's also Dentistry. It's not all about Med.

+1. Could people really be that naive? If they managed to get into biomed you'd think they'd have more common sense to see that it's gonna be very tough to get in. I'm not expecting med at all personally. I'm just gonna do my best and hope for the best. But at the end of the day there's multiple graduate options that I like so I'm not too worried about the prospects after I finish. And I'm sure many others are the same!
-
There are plenty of students who go into first year (biomed and science) wanting to do grad med but not knowing anything about the entry requirements.

me too, med is what i want eventually but this way i get to branch out a little and be a 'more well rounded student' and figure out if med is what i really want seeing as my UMAT was disastrous im not sure if im cut out for it. if i get to the end and dont want med i'll have a degree and hopefully a diploma of languages too:)

Don't mean state the obvious, but if med is what you want to do don't let your umat results discourage you. Your umat score does not necessarily determine whether you'll make a good doctor or not..

^its doesnt determine anything in particular, other than ur adeptness at the UMAT

QUESTION:
since there r so manyy people who got into science and biomed @ uom... 3 years later, what degree do you actually get as in career wise.
and for those who want to get into the medicine and other master degrees what is the % of ppl that are accepted and what happens to those who fail the test and dont get accepted D:
cause i was thinking of transferring but it might be risky that i dont get accepted T__T
-
You get a BSc/BBiomed and without further study it's mostly research/lab work/teaching etc. style jobs. Hard to leverage a bachelor's degree into a great job in science fields. Most go back for masters level education and even PhDs eventually.
Medicine has a lowish success rate, no idea on percentages. Lot of applicants won't get interviews but of those that do, 80% get in. If you don't get in...do something else. Attempt entry next year, start a Masters, get a job etc.

Each state has their own system, so you can accept an offer from each, then just drop out of the one/s you don't want. I guess the only thing is it's nice to consider those who are going for second round offers..
