Hello, I'm new here and I'm about to lodge my visa application.
I have a question.. it's for VET subclass 572 (Diploma on Hospitality-Commercial Cookery).. I'm mostly qualified in all the requirements, but only <u>mostly</u>; because I have a semester's worth of bad grade when I was in Taiwan doing Economics Course, I dropped out of the course because, I really didn't want to do it anymore... it's really not for me, I was sort of pressured into taking it by my family but, that's aside the point. I want to do what I want to do this time and as I was searching through the internet I happen to come across a school in Australia which offered a great package of level cert. and diploma for commercial cookery.
Going back to the main point: My IELTS score is 7.0 no score lower than 6.0 in any of the IELTS criteria, I've exceeded the minimum amount for financial statement they're requesting for show money, I have been accepted as a full time student, paid it already and I have my eCOE and also paid for my OSHC, receipt received... I may have good grades in HighSchool but not when I got to College in Taiwan. With this, does that mean I won't be granted a student's visa? I was hoping of doing SVP but I thought, I'll go to a University on my own when I can afford to pay for it without needing my dad to sponsor me for it.
Last but not the least, is it probably possible to just not include my college record or do I really have no choice? I want to know my chances.. I didn't expect for Australia to be strict in terms of grades (I haven't lodged, I just found out about it as I was searching around and saw a post about being denied due to poor educational background).. and I've already paid and all.. prepped and excited to boot. Can anyone advice me? 🙁
and curious about 'mara', ano ang mara?
