Title: Access scholarships
Post by: schmalex on February 12, 2010, 09:32:04 pm
Just wondering, if i got say a 98-99 ENTER score and went to an extremely crap underrepresented school but had no other SEAS categories, what are the chances of getting an access scholarship?

wait, are you a 10'er? then just ignore my previous post. i suggest that you write a good personal statement about your situation and maybe just wait and see, who knows what will happen next year

This is meant in no way to discourage you, but the underrepresented category is rarely used by Melbourne university as a persuasive factor in awarding of
the access scholarships. I mean that in no way to suggest that it is not possible, just that with just that category it is highly unlikely. I can't say as how I know this but to my knowledge, it is those applicants who faced economic hardship and/or medical disadvantage that come off as the best recipients of the scholarship.

I'm living proof.
Under-rep school.
99.00 ENTER.
No scholarship.

socio economic background or rural/isolated area is normally the catergory that they award scholarship also having multiple catergories might help.
