Hi guys! We are in the process of lodging our application for Aphra (Primary Applicant: Partner) We are hoping and praying that Aphra will recommend a 3 month bridging program and since I am an obsessive compulsive optimist, I've been going through some schools that accomodates Bridging Programs.<u> (I'm also trying to get a rough estimate of how much moolah we're gonna need)</u> I have been in Aphra's website and below are the list of schools that is aphra approved or accredited to enroll to a bridging program. I basically just want your input based on your own experience. For those folks who has gone through the bridging program and for others who is going through it and some of you who are in the same boat as we are and just figuring out which school best fits our needs, I'd like to hear your experiences. It can go something like this..
School:
Tuition Fee: (If you guys dont mind)
Why you chose that school:
How was the entire experience:
Course Length -- How was it?
Also, for those folks who went to Lonsdale, Monash and La Trobe, I'd like to find out how it was for you guys. These are the main schools we are sort of aiming for but we're also open for other options. Lastly, for the beteranos, any idea what Non-qual award means? And the difference between Division 1 and Division 2? Kinda got lost there. Thank you so much in advance for anyone who can share their experience.
