hi...i heard that if you're studying at trinity college and worked hard...ulll get a guarantee to melbourne u.?

Yes, guaranteed if you meet the requirements. Just like MUFY to Monash.

But why worry? If you have good grades in STPM or A-levels, you can still enter Melbourne.

Yeah, good results in any pre-u and they will most prob to take u.

I highly doubt Melbourne would accept A-Lvl students unbiased.

They have biased views. SAM Ausmat has better chances with grades into Melb.

Are you an admission officer?

Only a fool will say no to $$$

what i heard is trinity college is one of the leading collleges in the world and melbourne U. is one of the top10 best university in the world...so im planning to go there once i finish my SPM...

does anyone here have any education consultant's number?

and based on what i gather... to enter trinity college...you need to score 24 point below ... A1=1points,A2=2points,B3=3 points and so on... 6 subjects will be taken into consideration except BM,History and Moral.

so lets say we get 3A1's and 3 B3's ... its 3 x 1 = 3 points + 3 x 3 = 9 points --> 12points, so it's below 24 points... that means we can get a guarantee to enter trinity?

If it's a college, I don't think they will have high requirements. Is that a college in Australia? That's mean you go to Australia n study after SPM? AFter that, go to Melbourne Uni for a degree. Is it?

Rannkings are relative, mind you. But I would like to know which university ranking did you refer to.

Melbourne just wouldn't be top 10 in the world. It is a good school, but I won't go so far as to say that it is in the top 10 in the world. There are many more reputable schools in the world, schools which are highly selective.

A1s and A2s are good enough, you don't need to worry about other things.


It is a feeder college, something like Monash College.

A fren of mine went to trinity after SPM, he thought he'll get into Melb Uni also but he ended up in Swinburne.

Remember him saying he's juz 2 point away from getting into Melburne Uni.. tough luck. But dont rmb how much he need, prolly 80 or smth

not really.. my fren didn't get the place in melb uni so he has to go to RCSI to do medicine..

Wow I'm sure it will be very expensive if going to Trinity, Asutralia to study. I would prefer to do AUSMAT or SAM first before going there. At least it's a recognized pre-u programme.

Hey,

I am a first year student at Melbourne University. I studied at Trinity College after graduating from sec school. I had 9A1s in SPM so entry wasn't a problem. By the way, the minimum required entry score is an aggregate of 24 or lower, as mentioned above. In my opinion, if you really want to get into the best university in Australia, Trinity College is the best way in. It has the lowest score requirements, and its students get considered first above people who apply to Melbourne University after doing SAM and A-Levels and such. And regarding whether entry is guaranteed, yes it sure is. As long as you study sufficiently and achieve the required score, you are guaranteed 100% a spot in Melbourne University. I strongly suggest you go through this route if you wish to secure a place in Melb Uni. In regards to its ranking by the way, Melbourne University is ranked no. 19 in the world. This is the official rank made by Beijing University's Centre of Higher Education.

Hope this helps. Cheers!

I know Uni of Melbourne has high ranking in the world. In fact it's the top uni in Australia. Wow, I wanted to enter Melbourne next time for my degree, I guess.

hurm, is it true that going to trinity will cost 60K on fees alone for a year, and roughly how much is your living expenses there?

i plan to do medical, and im taking my spm right now. after my mom went last year to check out on melbourne u, its a 98% average to get in for medical faculty and that really freaked me, how bout from trinity to melbourn u?

where is trinity college?

hmmmmm......

This is something you need to consider carefully.

I have two friends, twins actually, who did their foundation studies at Trinity, they were hoping to get medicine, but failed.However, they managed to land themselves places to do biomed engineering. One enjoyed it, the other did not. So the other one came back and applied to IMU to do medicine, got a place and is currently happily studying there.

From what I gathered from them, marks are important, if you're aiming to get into medicine at the University of Melbourne, you'll need to score near prefect scores in every paper you take.

You can try doing A-levels here, then apply to Australia or Canada.

In this case, it's in Melbourne.

Set aside around AUD$2000 a month, including rental as living expenses. This is roughly RM5000+.

About the required scores to medicine at the University of Melbourne, its 96% as of 2006 from Trinity College.

Melbourne Uni isn't the best in all disciplines. I admit it is well-known for Medicine and possibly Law, so if you're interested in pursuing these, then it's probably a good choice. Rankings, as mentioned by feynman are relative and they don't mean a lot (as good universities are highly-competitive among themselves and a difference between the nth and n+1th positions can be as close as 0.01%).

There is one thing about Melbourne though. It is a "sandstone" institution and some people love this. OT, but sometimes I wonder if UM is regarded as a "sandstone" institution too?

sandstone?

Anyone going for Trinity College Foundation studies, February main 2007?

or u might consider Australian National University, which is the no.1 university in Aus. Melb U ranks 2nd.

ANU and melb uni keep changing places. Last year Melborne Uni was 1st...this year 2nd. It doesn't really matter actually. But, it is easier to get into Melb Uni through Trinity, for medicine, dentistry and a few other courses. Melb uni starts their "Growing Esteem Programme" so you need a basic Arts of Science degree before going to other courses like Law/Commerce...etc. Thank god medic and dentistry are still undergrad degrees.

during my year, i had alot of friends who went to trinity. unless you're going for med or dentistry, do well n u'll get it in. i only know one tht managed to get into med, another went to rcsi and another to imu. trinity is a good college n my frens did enjoy it.

my father wants me to go to trinity college after my spm worr.. cause my bro is currently studying there now.. i wonder what so good about this college?

Wrong. If it is easy to score near perfect scores in every test, I don't you what we call tough.

it's not hard to score near perfect scores but u need a 98% or sth like that to get in and competition is tough, remember places for dentistry is medicine is limited, so screwing just up one test can be fatal

Can you score that kind of scores?

Actually, I was talking about it being easier to go into Melb Uni through Trinity than other institutions.

I'm not quite sure. Both my sisters were in Trinity College before. One of my sisters is currently studying medicine in Melb Uni. If I'm not mistaken, her best 4 average is 98.75, 100 for Maths 2, Physics, 98 for Chem and 97 for Maths 1A.
Her English wasn't that near perfect though, but with it, she still got an average of maybe 96+.

Maybe I can score that high, maybe I couldn't, but it is clear that Trinity is really good right?

So, anyone applied for February Main 2007?
