Title: SEAS for unimelb design
Post by: bae on December 12, 2016, 10:39:15 pm
Im asking this for a friend, he got 79.85 and wants to get into unimelb design, seas clearly on is 78 but he forgot to apply for disadvantaged financial background, although he did apply for difficult circumstances and disadvantaged school, is this enough to guarantee an offer? Because the unimelb site only losts disadvantaged financial background when mentioning seas applications. And if not, is there anything he can do to notify the uni about the mistake?

Hi bae, i've PM'd you the link to this in the event you don't see this thread first.

I've split + moved this from Post-ATAR questions because it hasn't received that much attention and I feel it's a question that should be answered. If anyone from UoM knows a bit more about this, don't hesitate to help out and reply. Thanks heaps.

The guarantee only applies to those categories that are mentioned on the site (financial, rural if I remember correctly); however, if your friend's SEAS application is accepted, SEAS will come into consideration...just no guarantee. Unfortunately, your friend will have to wait and see. It's certainly the case that he can get a place, he's just not guaranteed a place per se :)
