About like 1 hour after i received my UAI I got a phone call from UTS telling me that if I change UTS to my first preference I will be accepted into Civil Engineering which has a cut off of 85. He told me that my bonus points and questionear helped me. I asked him 'Is it guaranteed entry? and he said yes.'

Has anybody else received a similar phone call? Is this a hoax?

Edit: My UAI is 80.75

I was hoping to, my uai was over the the cut off but for me they offered a scholarship along with it;

Honestly UTS seems to be doing it so you probably got a genuine offer, if your still unsure call UTS back and ask them to like go into more detail, dont make it as if you forgot or anything. If they dont know what your talking about, then sorry, if they do, hope to see you next year


Edit: Your UAI seems close enough and unis usually look for other factors, e.g. that questionaire, for potential entrants

What was your UAI, and what scholarship did they offer you? I had/have UTS Eng as my frist pref and got 89.55- I apparently got a call from UTS yesterday for something urgent though I wasn't home- I tried calling back though noone was answering so I left a message... I'm slightly concerned though since they said they needed to speak with me before Monday.

yeh i got a call from uts wif a preliminary offer into civil engineerin...thing is though i registered 4 da questionaire n didn even finish or submiit it b da lady said it was because of my questionaire n bonus points( i only done to subjects allowing for 4 bonus points). so i think the "uve got in because of ur questionaire n bonus points" is just a general comment they say to every1 they call.

y dont u try both still?? just put uts as ur 1st prefrence in the preliminary round and change it to unsw before the main round...if u got da prelminary offer from uts then youll get it and if you get into unsw theyll send you a main round offer then u can choose n decide from their??:D

Yeah thats what the guy, that called from UTS, was telling me but i didn't really understand him very well until you explained it right now. yea i'll definatley do that and see how everything goes. I'd be happy getting into either UTS or UNSW for my engineering course.

thanks a lot!!

yeh no worries.
i think der both good although dey say unsw is more academic n a mission 2 travel to(depedning on were u live) while uts is more practical.
btw if ur still not sure bout more courses ders anotha 2 rounds afta da main round but u prob wont be garunteed an offer...but it jus gives u more options if u are offered.
