I got into UNSW med for class of 2014 but I defered for year cause I wanted to see what was happening with the other schools. So if it all goes for the worst I’ll just start at UNSW in march 2010. My place is still there for me I got my official deferrement letter already!</p>
<p>Beeish, can’t you just enroll and if you get into American unis you can quit? Can you do that? That’s actually what I plan to do…</p>
<p>is anyone here applying from victoria? where has every1 applied and does anyone know where they have gotten in yet?</p>
<p>Yeah you can… I know someone who is doing that, personally I just chose to take the year off. Someone pointed out the loop hole to me that even if you start here and you do uni on HECS if you never earn money here you never have to pay HECS back… so yeah. It’s really a personal choice. And how commited you are to going to the US like one of my friends is 100% sure she is going… she’s your class though, Class of '14 so she’s doing what I’m doing. But one of my friends this year isn’t sure and just started her commerce degree at UNSW so the choice is really up to you!</p>
<p>i see beeish! haha…
I chose to do that simply cuz I’m not sure if I will sucessfully get the visa…~
As an international student, choices are much narrower for me T.T</p>
<p>Huanbing.Izzy, that’s a perfect fine way to do it. I started at UNSW this year as well, but when I found out about my acceptance to Duke, I withdrew my enrolment. If you don’t do this, you have to wait at least one semester, or more likely two (ie. a year), before you can start uni here in Australia, which didn’t appeal to me.</p>
<p>You can obviously do what beeish did, ie. defer your offer to begin with, meaning you won’t be able to start uni in Australia for at least 6months-1year, regardless of whether you end up going to a college in the US. It’s pretty much a gap year if you don’t end up going to the U.S., it’s an option and it’s all up to you.</p>
<p>I would’t rather start it straigt away
I am already a bit late in my age so…
Duke? Congradulate!! it’s a great one!</p>
<p>huanbing - for the visa part. if you get accepted into a uni, u’ll most certainly get a student visa for us
if thats wat you mean. if not, ignore what i said lol</p>
<p>st.g.i.dragons
uh…thanks for your reminder
But because I am citizen of China instead of Australia, so that’s a bit different.
I’m not sure if they will certainly get me a student visa cuz I know lots of cases of rejecting becuase of failing to prove their financial ability…- -|
Australian citizen will for sure get the visa I think…
Thanks anyway ^-^</p>
<p>well if u can certify your finances, there’s no reason they won’t give a college sponsored student visa to a chinese national</p>
<p>I know, as a matter of fact…Chinese seem to have a bad reputation because of some smuggle businesses…- -
Anyway, I hope this is a unneccesary concern. Thanx sitk!</p>
<p>im not australian citizen either, im a korean. your nationality doesnt really matter if you are accepted into a uni and show that you can pay 50000 bucks or watever it costs per year to the embassy and stuff. afterall to americans we’re just money really.</p>
<p>Yeah, nationality doesn’t matter if you manage to get accepted into one of the universities. </p>
<p>The university will issue you with an I-20 form that you can use to get an academic visa (F-1 I think it is). There shouldn’t be much of a problem after you have that form.</p>
<p>Do we have to show the amount on our I-20 to qualify for a F1 visa?</p>
<p>don’t we need bank statement and that kind of staff?</p>
<p>Yes, you will need to prove that you are able to pay for any require tuition/boarding/etc. fees.</p>

<p>You don’t need to have the funds available right away. Don’t quote me on this, but I believe that a letter from a bank saying that you have the funds available in some way will suffice - whether from a guarantor, a proposed loan etc.</p>
<p>But yeah, apart from the financial part, there shouldn’t be any hitches in applying for a visa. The universities/US just want proof that you are able to at least pay for your tuition.</p>
<p>shoyz is right. we just borrowed money from our friends to show that our bank has like 50000 bucks + and gave the money back to our mates.
you just need a bank statement showing the first year fee for a certain amount of time.</p>
<p>I see st.g.i.dragons ^-^
Thanks for your guys’ explaination!</p>
