Course transfers as internal student
Hi all! Last year i did uniprep to enable me to get into uni, obviously, i knew this wasn’t going to get me into the competitive courses i wanted (nursing 1st or paramedicine 2nd) so i enrolled in biomed as I come from a science background and knew i’d enjoy it while i was building a resume to get into nursing or para.
I applied for semester 2 entry into nursing and they rejected me after i was in good standing and got mostly distinctions. They also waited until the last business day (hour for that matter) before the semester started before rejecting me, and i got into the very last stage of applications. After digging more i realised this is likely due to oversubscription due to notre dame students transferring over worried their accreditation would be taken away. I’ve since become super sceptical and applied to other unis. I had zero troubles and got into curtin nursing (1st preference) on the first day they started releasing offers. I think it’s pretty poor ECU isn’t accommodating for their own, especially after i’ve dedicated so much time and money to this university.
My point of this post is wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences with ecu, and how i can possibly up my chances of getting in next semester? im not sure if i even want to go to ecu anymore due to this experience.
