Nrsl ? (1 Viewer)

[bobin]

just curious.. if i defer my offer for one year at UNSW (which they say i can still do).. and then re-apply for a different course, will my uai be considered as a NRSL?, considering i'm a non-recent school leaver.
I want 2 study law and i've heard the NRSL cut-offs are around 96.xx

nrsl being?

non-recent school leaver.

That's an extremely interesting strategy...

Unfortunately, you're still deemed to be a recent school-leaver if you take a gap year.

 

[LazyBoy]

you have be over 21 to be classed as an nrsl (well a 'mature aged student' is the official name)

i think thats right

That's half right, but you're also a non-recent school leaver if you've started tertiary education.

oh ok
so if i defer then apply for another course... my uai is only taken into account and i'll get in only if my uai is higher than the 2006 uai cut-offs?

Remember tho, that NRSL cutoffs are higher than RSL cutoffs

Generally NRSL cut-offs are lower, not higher.

 

[Minai]

It varies for different courses (remembering its all supply and demand)

Are you sure? Cuz when I deferred, and didnt get in to a course that I chose over my deferred one, that had a cutoff 2 points lower than my UAI, and i rang up UAC to ask them why I didnt get in, she said becuase NRSL cutoffs are higher than RSL cutoffs

I am positive. They do fluctuate from year to year, and they can be higher, but more often than not they should be lower

Eg. the NRSL law cutoff at USYD a couple of years ago was 96.x

 

[bobin]

so your saying if i defer i will be classified as a NRSL, but dont you have to complete one year of tertiary study to be a NRSL as minai says?

Why don't you just ring UAC?
