<p>The University of Melbourne is the best university in Australia and Monash is one of the world’s top 100. My boyfriend studies at Monash and according to his opinion studying there is a gift.
There’s a huge problem for you. Deadline for Australian universities is October 31st.
As far as I’m concerned the SAT is not necessary. You should pay attention on courses that are required.
Btw, you seem to be a pretty strong candidate.
Also, another important thing is financial aid. Can your parents pay costs of attendance? Don’t forget that Australia is the most expensive country for international students to live and study in. If you have dual citizenship, everything is fine.</p>

<p>These competitions where you were supposed to compete, but couldn’t because of (something) aren’t important at all.
If there’s something unclear, feel free to ask me. </p>

<p>best of luck. :)</p>

<p>Yeah thank you very much that really cleared up a lot. Thankfully, I have a dual citizenship and I’d prefer to go to Melbourne. I haven’t included much of my ECs (fortunately I have more). So here’s another question: do these universities (especially Melbourne and Monash) require APs? Once again thank you very much :slight_smile: :)</p>

Even though you have Australian citizenship, I think you need to apply as an international student. This page can help you a lot. :slight_smile:
In my view, you should contact an admission officer and get every single piece of information you’re seeking.</p>

<p>If you study in English, there’s no need to take the TOEFL.</p>

<p>Well I’ve attempted contacting the office of admitions thrice but it never worked. The website includes no information exclusive for my country unfortunately hahahaha. Just my luck. Thank you anyway you’ve really helped me</p>

8

<p>I feel you. My country is even worse than yours. ><
I will try to find out something about APs, but can’t promise you a lot.</p>

9

<p>Oh trust me nothing is worse than Lebanon hahaha. Thank you very much that’s more than I could ask for really:):)</p>

<p>I really hope that the 2100 materializes… or even 2000; otherwise U Melbourne is going to be a reach.</p>

11

<p>University of Melbourne? Is it good compare to the universities found in Canada? I am just wondering which is better.</p>

12

<p>If I don’t get a 2000 do you reckon Melbourne will be a reach? (Thanks for the reply btw:))</p>

13

<p>I mean 2000 will be sufficient right although I’m confident of getting a 2100</p>

14

<p>As far I as know Melbourne is better I’m not that sure though</p>

15

<p>Well bump that SAT grade and you’re in. Course rigor and GPA do have a heavy effect on your chances. Good luck with the SAT grades; im also waiting for mine!</p>

16

<p>Any other opinions would be great thanks again:):)</p>

17

<p>You won’t get in to any of those colleges. Just accept it.</p>

<p>Very intuitive sami27…</p>

Hi all, I know this is an old thread but I really need some help regarding mid year entry into Australian Universities. Is the admission rate much lower if I apply for mid year intake? Thank you and really appreciate your help.
