The story of Macquarie university

I was focused on just one and applied only at Macquarie. I took a chance but hey, I won! Glad to be on the other side now. I would honestly say something: I had my uncle and his family settled in Sydney, and they were the ones who invited me. So when I landed there, my food and housing expenses were covered by them! Well, admission was actually not very easy. I initially had to stall a year after graduating high school in March 2015 because of the passport updates. Then I didn’t apply till December of 2015. When I finally applied the first time, my application was rejected so I had to make some calls to the admissions teams directly and talk to them. After talking to them and taking my IELTS exam, which I just managed to get a passing mark in, I got the offer letter. I signed it and sent it back with the first sem fee! I did manage to get a scholarship so got about 10 grand waived off the total fees. Then I got the confirmation letter, which I had required to apply for a visa! Well, there are two main intakes! One in June and the other in Feb! I chose the feb of the next year for my graduation since I was turning 18 in may and couldn’t get a passport ready by the June intake! But, I suggest you apply for the Feb intake anyway because you’d then have ample time to focus on your boards and write your English exams! You’d also get time to think it through and honestly also suggest applying to a couple of universities, as the chances of getting into at least one would increase by an odd percentage....Read More
