I am a college graduate here in Phils, accountancy course. Currently working as accounting assistant. I want to apply for student visa to AU, and take accountancy course, either Cert 4 or Diploma in Accounting.
Magiging questionable kaya kasi baka sabihin bakit di na lng ako mag-take ng MBA or Masteral?

Ang masasaabi ko lang sa SoP, huwag ilagay na wala kang balak bumalik or wag maglagay nang statement na can be misconstrued na hindi ka na babalik ng Pilipinas. Instead make implicating statements that you will return to the fatherland kahit corrupt masyado dito.
Sana kung merong discussion dito I can post excerpts ng SoP ko. Maybe later nalang pag naapprove na. LOL.

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 mostly; 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 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 cross a school in Australia which offered a great package of level cert. and diploma for commercial cookery.
Enough babbling... 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 this.. and I've already paid and all.. prepped and excited to boot. Can anyone advice me?
