Has anybody here transferred to Macqaurie? (1 Viewer)

Hi!

I am looking at transferring to Macquarie and I just had a couple of questions.

If you don't mind me asking, I'd really appreciate feedback.

1)Did you transfer before 1 full year or after 1 year of full time study?
2) If you transferred before 1 year of , was your ATAR lower than the cut off? What was your GPA?
3)If you transferred after a year, what was your GPA?

Also, what is considered a pass average GPA and credit average GPA? Macquarie is confusing me because it seems they have GPAs out of 4

Thank you for your help.
It's so hard to just find out what should be really easy questions!!

Transfer from where? Generally you can't transfer in your first year.

 

[kat12345]

From any university really.

And I thought you can transfer in the first year (during the mid year intake), but they only consider your atar, or a combination of atar and GPA if your first semester results are released.

I'm looking to come from UWS.

I'm a part time student though so I've completed 5/8 first year subjects at UWS, and for Macquarie 6 is considered 1 year of FTE.

Time to hijack the thread instead of making a new one.
I'm thinking of dropping from 4 units to 3 units (or 9 credit points) this semester.
Will I still qualify for a GPA at the end of the year so I can have the possibility of transferring if I want to?
I know silly question.

You will.
Your GPA is calculated based on your grade for a unit, not whether your full or part time.

I'm only a part time student (I've only ever done 2 subjects a semester) and my GPA is updated after each semester

It doesn't affect your GPA whatsoever.

My friend just successfully transferred to Macquarie this semester, I can probably contribute;

1. After a year of full time study, however only part time equivalent completed- so 4/8 units of his diploma
He applied for both Commerce and Arts and got in Arts.

3. the course didn't have GPA only P,Cr,D,HD etc.. He rang up UAC and they said some institution will still consider it as a certificate 4

So just get a credit average and you're sweet for most course, friend got in UNSW with pass average from UWS. Despite all these discussions about D average it's nonsense

Pass Average is gpa 2.00/4.00
Credit " " " 3.00/4.00

So you're saying if i wanted to get into B Comm at UNSW id only need a credit average, coz ive heard id need atleast a 70-75 WAM

I think a WAM of 70-75 is a credit average.

I didn't say that applies to every course, my friend applied to Commerce/IS and IS at UNSW from ICT/Business at UWS and got in IS with pass average. I'm saying not every course requires a 70+ WAM as you're led to believe
