    @amedina I'm planning to apply din sa University of Newcastle. May I ask kung ano ang required score for IELTS (OBS-overall band score and on each subtest)? Sa BN-course website nila they require an overall score of 7 and no less than 6 in each subtest pero when I checked the site of their English Proficiency Policy, it's 7 for both the OBS and Subtests. Nakita ko kasi sa timeline mo that you applied there. Thanks.

    @Jonjie1322 kung medyo alangan or ayaw mo mag ielts may ibang way. Ako kasi kumuha ako ng agent. Hindi na sila nagrequire ng ielts. Parang english exam lng sa mismo school na gusto mo pasukan. Tutulungan ka din sa test para sure na makapasa ka. Pero kung may extra time lang ako, hindi na ako dadaan sa kanila at mag exam nlng ng ielts. Sayang din kasi ung ibabayad sa kanila, kaya naman mag apply ng visa mag isa basta complete lang requirements. Naiinis nga ako kasi medyo nadedelay application ko sa school coz of them. *sigh

    @shyla_guccis OBS 7.0 no subtests lower than 7.0 for B Nursing. Nag IELTS din ako kaso di ko nakuwa yung required score kaya I decided mag ELICOS na lang instead before mag B Nursing. Wait ko pa visa result. :)

    @Rhina13 kelan nga ulit intake mo? Parang pansin ko lng, mas mabilis lumabas result ng visa pg malapit na ang pasukan. Ako stuck pa rin sa agency. Hay... nakakafrustrate maghintay. Diba supposedly mas mabilis kasi may nag aassist sayo..

    Btw, may kasabay din ako sa stotts papasok. Accounting naman ang course.

    Commit to the Lord everything you do. Then your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3 (NIRV)

    The longer you have to wait for something, the more you will appreciate it when it finally arrives. The harder you have to fight for something, the more priceless it will become when you achieve it. And the more pain you have to endure on your journey, the sweeter the arrival at your destination. All good things are worth waiting for, and worth fighting for.

    @amedina sis, i think i know why. IDP told me na if i lodge earlier, it still won't progress unless it's close to the commencement of classes na. earliest is 4 months before daw. you can lodge early, but they don't give you your visa early.

    Today is the first day of the 3rd week na pagaantay ko for the response sa UB. Kinakabahan ako. Ano kaya possible reason for them not to accept a student? May mga bagsak kasi ako sa grades ko noon. Also, may iba pa ba kayong alam na school na mabilis mag reply? :( Nakaka-worry lang talaga.
