well think of it this way, since you're gonna pay more than AUSD 10k per semester anyway, what's AUSD 50 (that's what i paid for the application fees, not sure if they've raised it) to you? that's my take on that

but the prob is not i pay then they will accept me
n 1 application cost AUSD70 means around rm200 here
if thr got guarantee then i sure will pay

IELTS. is it a must to take the test before flying to aus. can i take the exam there?

well think of it as an investment, sometimes it comes good sometimes it doesn't. i too thought of it that way back when i was considering sending in the applications then until it dawned upon me that AUSD 50 wasn't a big deal since i'm gonna end up paying 10k per semester in any uni i go to

depends on the uni if you were required to take the test. in my case they required it when i sent in my application from M'sia. besides, since you're already in M'sia why not take the test there and then? IF you were to do the conversion you'd find out that it's actually cheaper taking it in M'sia. RM 530 vs AUD 258. you do the math

nobody will guarantee you anything........

there is no issue about processing of applications whether now or during road shows, they are efficient, save some money and apply free..........

Actually october is not considered late for application, even november is not late either, so just wait for a month then apply. Usually they will send u an offer, either conditional or unconditional, within 2 weeks' time. If u do not receive within 2 weeks, i think it's not the fault of the uni, mayb is the problem of the agent, like IDP. IDP will be pretty busy in December when the SAM results are out and everyone rushes there to apply/ accept offer.

To be honest, Usyd and RMIT are very different in many aspects: tuition fees, entry requirement, reputation, location etc, hence I don't think there is any difficulty in making a decision between those two. No offense here, but in my opinion, if you are able to meet the requirement for Usyd, you should also be considering on Unis such as UNSW, UMelb, Monash etc.

@hihihehe:
It's definitely not late to submit your application in October as bulk of the applicants will only submit theirs after Christmas when the results for SAM, Ausmat are out.

oo
ok
i will apply at next month
b4 i just only think wan their answer fast so kinda bit rushing
but now im gonna wait for next month
thx

Same,i was wondering why hihihehe didnt consider UNSW.

UNSW has the best engineering schools in Sydney.

virgin mobile $70 cap.. $520 of credits to use up per month, includes 1GB of 3G data..

www.virginmobile.com.au .. customer service is way better than optus.. emailed uptus for aobut 3-4 times, no reply at all.. have to call them up.. virgin replies my emails within 48 hours.. and btw, virgin is under optus..

USyd's Engineering programs aren't that good. If you're going to Sydney, UNSW is far better in Engineering. USyd's Engineering programs are nowhere near the size, reputation and demand of UNSW's programs (this is not a biased view, they are supported by industry surveys).
If you're going to Melbourne, you'd probably want to consider Melbourne Uni (but it's 5 years Postgrad). RMIT is pretty good and I'd say it's better than USyd for Engineering.
