COLLEGE REVEAL + Applying to an Australian University as an International Student

[@eljj7968]

The US application process sounds so crazy (in terms of how competitive it is). In most countries you just apply and if you meet the requirements you’ll likely get in. Also just a tip in Australia, it might pay to get out out the habbit of saying ‘school’ and ‘college’ haha, that’s so American and people won’t call it that in Aussie (school literally means school up until high school). Just called uni or university in Australia and NZ.

[@Vannzzy]

We also don’t say Aussie unless referring to an Australian person. It’s never used to refer to the country.

[@eljj7968]

@@Vannzzy Haha interesting, we call it that all the time in NZ! Bit like people referring to the fruit as a Kiwi I guess, which we would never do here as it's either a bird or a person.

[@shermanator87]

@@eljj7968 well what do New Zealanders call a Kiwi fruit then if not a Kiwi?

im australian but when i go to uni i tell people im going to school. it just comes more naturally to me

[@morganrayner6189]

I would totally love to see a video on the Financial aspect of being an international student because paying for college in AU is sooooo different compared to the US. 💀

[@Kyeongjuni]

morgan rayner how is it different may I ask?

[@thendrelnirmal8480]

@@Kyeongjuni Its so much cheaper

[@jessicatang9894]

@@thendrelnirmal8480 it’s different for international students! As an Australian citizen we pay through a HECS scheme where we basically get loaned the money for uni tuition and don’t pay it back until after uni when we’re earning a certain amount of money and it’s through taxes! Generally it’s a lot cheaper than the US but international students typically pay upfront but may pay more for tuition compared to a citizen. Hope that helps a bit!

[@xerp7626]

Hi Katelyn, It was very sad to see you wait that long for the offer from UniMelb. One thing I wanted to clear out is, for the mid-year intake in July, the University of Melbourne starts selecting students from March, no matter when you apply. Since you got the offer on April 4, that date fits their given range of 2-4 weeks of turnaround time.

[@katelynerika]

Sabid Hossain honestly I didn’t really mind since I was already set on going to university in Sydney!

[@hannapark8677]

Hey! I’m so confused on when you start applying. Because for international students senior year ends on July. Normally for U.S colleges you would start applying for Early Action during December or so. But since Australia is flipped do you apply for the first semester of February after you graduate your senior year? (So like in July) Wouldn’t I be a year behind if I apply like that? I’m genuinely just confused maybe it’s just me being dumb but it doesn’t make sense to me. Hope you’ll answer my stupid question haha thank you!!!

[@PallakB08]

were you interested in starting from semester one or mid term (semester 2)? if you want to start from semester 1 next year and haven't already applied i recommend you do it asap! :)

Heyy I have a 4.0 gpa unweighted I was wondering if it would be easy for me to get into an Australian University 💗💗

[@jascurry2711]

So, I'm a domestic student in Aus so I'm not completely qualified to answer this, but I did apply to US Uni's as an international student so... Anyway. A 4.0 GPA is really good, congratulations! If you want to apply to Aus Uni's you definitely should give it a shot. The process is a LOT less extensive that the process for US uni's and focusses only on your academic achievements so all you have to do is give them your transcripts and stuff like she was talking about. So there isnt much to lose, it shoudnt take you much time and I think you have a pretty good shot with that gpa (but bear in mind that certain degrees will require you to have taken certain subjects in high school so make sure you do your research). And depending on the city the uni you want is in (sydney and Melbourne being the most popular and in demand cities) you might want to think about accomodation as early as 6 months to a year before you come over (alot of accomodation will allow you to apply for a spot before you receive any offer from a uni) I hope this helps, and good luck!! Please let me know if you have anyother questions :)
