For lunch i wanna get a pasta for lunch

Guys, I want some legitamite advice, I’m a rural applicant and doing 1st year biomed at Latrobe and wanting to transfer into dentistry and I think my WAM this year will be around 82, I heard people from last year who got into dentistry got an 88 and a 87 WAM and those were the 2 highest, if in my cohort the highest is 85,84 or 84, 83 would they give out offers to the two highest scores like last year or who they deem it too low and not let anyone in this year? I really need help from anyone who’s gotten into Latrobe dentistry and if there’s no hope and if I apply to oral health would I get in or also no?

I’m trying to apply directly to Bachelor of Dental Science (honours). I’m currently studying a bachelor degree (honours) at RMIT and I’ve already graduated another undergrad in 2023. The course isn’t coming up at all when I filter or search it. Does anyone know why this might be? I’ve tried to get in contact with the uni but haven’t heard anything back yet. TIA

Hey everyone,

I applied for the bachelor of speech pathology (honours) at Monash and La Trobe as an international student and have received an unconditional offer from La Trobe (waiting for Monash to respond).

I'm juggling between the two, which one should I choose to study at? I would appreciate your guys' advice.

Hello,

Is anyone else getting sick of writing about AI for assignments? I am not talking about those little AI academic quizzes you do at the start of a subject, I am talking about essay topics and stuff.

In my psychology subject this semester we have to write about emotions and AI (worth 40% of my grade) and my psych essay last semester was about cognition and AI (34% of my grade).

Even in my physiology class this semester, we had to write an abstract in groups during class time and the teachers actively encouraged us to use AI for the assignment. She said it would be suspicious if there was more than half of the class that didn't use AI. So my group felt pressured to use AI even though we didn't want to.

I hate how much money La Trobe has spent on implementing AI into education and how much more time teachers have to take to teach us about the ✨benefits✨ of using AI instead of understanding what students actually want to learn

Has anyone else had that experience?

Hey all! What hall do you guys think is best in Bundoora? I was looking at Glenn college and it gives kinda nerd vibes ( which is good). Would love if someone could give a brief overview of the vibes of each college/pros and cons 💕

Many subjects started announcing open-book, uninvigilated exams in the business school. Does anyone know why? Last semester, this happened, and they said it was a technical issue. So what is it now? Do you feel you are learning anything? All tests are uninvigilated, with ChatGPT use allowed; assignments are the same, and now final exams again. A whole subject at La Trobe takes 1-2 minutes per test quiz with ChatGPT, 15 - 20 minutes for a week assignment via ChatGPT, and for a final maybe 15 minutes for a 2-hour assignment with ChatGPT tops.

working in group assignment at the school = cheating like tests, all ai . is this the image of a top 250 uni.

is this how it is for a top 6% university? aacsb accredited? CPA accredited? What a joke. Can the president or VC explain how I can compete with other good uni graduates or are you making us feel good about learning nothing while taking our money. Please let me know what ou think and how to go about this, it s so difficult to change uni and get a new coe for internationals

Hey! my bf is an international student doing a foundation course in la trobe rn and hopes to do dental science next year, does anyone know how many international student places there are / how competitive it is to get in / what the chances are? I'm in med in nz and I know that for us international pathway is a lil less competitive than general entry.

Tysm!!

hi guys, I have been looking into a bachelors of science at latrobe and rmit. just wondering if anyone knows which uni is better to study this bachelor in. my plan is to then become a dentist after applying in melbourne uni but for the mean time I am hearing mixed reviews on which uni looks better for bachelor of science or is likely to get you accepted into a dr degree.

please comment below any recommendations or experiences!! xx

I’m a bio major and I’m transferring to an Australian university. I know that in rankings RMIT is higher but it’s also better known for tech and I’ve been told by some that La Trobe is better for sciences. Any unbiased insight would be useful :)
