wah... abit cold here la... first week of spring was sunny, but nowdays a little cold... and sometimes rain summore, which doesnt help!

Guys, I'm departing this Saturday night. So before i leave, can you guys give me some heads up such as what are the things that i need to prepare (some stuffs that are easy to forget to bring), and some advice

should i apply for uni now or wait for next month exhibition?if apply now need to pay application fees but at exhibition then no need..
if i apply at exhibition then the application progress will take so long coz many ppl also will apply at tht time??

ooo
but exhibition just next month only...
im stuck n  duno should i wait or not
but surely  i will go n apply for more unis exhibition
act today i already went to idp n cash was on my hand but too bad they don accept cash n told me y don wait for next month exhibition coz application waived..so i duno i should wait or not..
mayb i will think it again

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.

well based on my result i don think unsw will accept me..so i nvr think bout it
n im not taking any engineering course..just IT course

Among the best engineering faculty in the world, i think i saw the faculty ranking was top 20 in the world. And your faculty definitely have the most engineering students and program also in australia.

ooo
ok
i will try apply for more unis when exhibition reach..but unsw?don think they will accept me but still will try

Drive.com.au is another website you should have a look at.

do i still need to apply to of the preferred uni? like, must i apply for Melb. U, Monash, UNSW, and RMIT?

EDIT: I just applied for Melb. U and Monash. And I'm afraid that some complications would arrise 
        plus, it says thati  have to pay for the application, but the fee is waived but i dont have any verification code or anything ~~ so confusing ahh  

I got several questions about studying in Australia.
Personal Info:
Currently studying Form 6. Stpm 2008(this year).
Taking 4 subjects. Physics,Chemistry,Maths,General Studies.
Ambition: Engineer
SPM Results: Bm A1 Eng A1 Physics A1 Chem A1 Bio A2 Maths A1 Add.maths A1 Moral B3 EST B3 History C5
1119:A2

Questions:
1)What are the requirements to apply for Bachelor of Engineering? Like how good should my STPM results be? Forecast results(needed?)?  Or do I need to sit any additional exams?
2)Bachelor of Engineering does it mean Mechanical? Electrical? Mechatronics? Or neither?
3)Currently interested in ANU , University of Melbourne , University of Sydney , University of Queensland(The universities that could get JPA scholarships). Where and how do I apply?
4)Do I need to contact/hire a 3rd party to apply?
5)When is the application deadline?
6)When is their intake?
7)Do I need to prepare a personal statement and a recommendation letter from my teacher?

8)Out of topic. If I were to get a place in one of the university. How good/bad or my chances of getting the JPA PSD scholarship?

Although STPM is way harder than A-level, the entry requirements for engineering using STPM will be higher than A-level.
For higher ranked uni in Aus, an aggregate point of 3.33 or around B+B+B+ should be sufficient to enter.
Actually you will find out that first year maths in engineering course will be pretty easy as you learnt most of them in STPM. Year 12 in Australia only cover basic stuff.

Oh I wasn't waiting to be spoonfed. I googled about it already. Just that, just now I was replying while I was still searching halfway.
Some of my college friends say MUET is accepted. Some say cant.....will call to inquire more tmr.
Anyways one question.
I would be taking the:
Listening
Academic Reading
Academic Writing
Speaking
Right?
And my minimum score would be?
I google. Open lots of tabs. Reply while waiting for the pages to load. Then only view the pages. Sorry if I offended you by posting before googling.
But the JPA list of accepted universities in australia for scholarship my friend sms-ed me was:
ANU
Uni Of Melbourne
Uni Of Sydney
Uni Of Queensland
Hmmm.....must call jpa to inquire also....
What? STPM needs higher requirements......why........

If I were JPA, I wouldn't give out post-STPM scholarships to Aust unis.. Well not unless the student applying for it is really excellent.
Getting into Aust unis, even the Go8 ones is so easy.

guys i want your help

i received conditional offer from uni melbourne and UNSW
i want to apply for both for accomodation

i want some suggestion for which  college i should apply

i would like a shared room

and which is better catered or non catered

What is the difference between conditonal and unconditional offer?

Hi guys.. anybody from UNSW ?

I visited UNSW last week and the buildings and study environment over there is so great and good..
i wanan ask about accommodation in UNSW ?
Which on campus accommodation is fun ? as in study hard and party hard.. is international house fun ?

hows life in UNSW ??
everybody study hard  ??
i went there dat day.. i felt so pressure.. looking at the student works and the library..

Adding on top of what Cheesenium and Chris have mentioned, IH only accepts 2nd year students and above, which means you can't apply for it for your first year study here.
