[carrotz]

heys

i did Diploma in IT at insearch + transferred into UTS 2nd yr. well it aint guaranteed that you will get a spot when you transfer into UTS, but UTS do hold a few spots for local insearch students who get the required marks, but it is competitive. a few of my friends doing IT at insearch transferred with me. i dont know anyone from business.

A girl I know is currently in my course and she applied through Insearch because she didn't decide to go to uni until she was a few years out of school. And she's a local

Ermm....I guess it's pretty competitive, but she said that the work was easier than at uni and it was easy (well, for her at least) to get distinctions...

 

[luckyduck]

what course are you doing? if i may ask.
so she did insearch and applied for uts and she got in stright away?

yeah everything is soo competitives .. it annoys me blah.!

Hey luckyduck, I'm doing a B Bus.

I'm not sure if she got in straight away, though (I didn't ask her too many details at the time). She's the only person I know from Insearch so unfortunately I don't know too much sorry!

Insearch is shit. It's built around international students so the work is dummed down and the timetable doesn't really allow much time for part time work.

And even if you complete your certificate/diploma with a good average (eg. distinction), there are no guarantees about getting into the desired UTS degree. And to rub it in, internationals are guaranteed as long as their average mark is 65 or above..

plus, its fucking expensive.

Hmmm I agree with both points.

International students can get into the BBus course (well, in 2003 this was the case) with a UAI of 80 (if the student did their hsc in Aus. - not sure about other Internationals), so I guess enter marks would also be lowered via Insearch.

And yes, from what I've heard it is really, really expensive. Can't remember exactly how much but if my crappy memory is right, its a 5-figure sum per year and you have to pay up-front. The only 2 local people I have ever known to do Insearch have been very wealthy.

 

[luckyduck]

ohh are you guys serious??

hmmm... so i gues i should take that out of one of my options then

i just realsied one brother's gf friend got into uts via insearch she is in her 3rd now
but maybe there is a chance for locals becoz insearch leaves a few spaces for locals to transfer

 

[daiana]

ouch ouch ouch!

so with Insearch, is it a diploma or bachelor for Business? do you require a UAI cut off?

hey if ur doing INsearch, it's basicly like full fee paying (except with hefty hefty outrageous amounts)... like $14,000 per yr UPFRONT?

god that's gotta hurT!

but remember, no guarantees.

you could get a D average and still not get in. 50 WAM is for the international students to be guaranteed entry to UTS (for business, 65 for some courses).

get back in soccer thread, we miss ur replies

 

[big_ticket]

Insearch as said before isn't guaranteed, and it is quite expensive @ $18 000 for one year. SIBT on the other hand is $12 000 for one year and you are guaranteed a spot in Macq the following year providing you have a GPA of 1.5 which is a pass average....you'll need a higher GPA for applied finance thou.
