First Round Offers – A Medical Breakthrough!
1/02/10 - General
One hundred and twenty-eight Peninsula students received tertiary offers during the Christmas holidays. Of these, more than 100 were to university, nineteen to TAFE colleges and five to private colleges.
The most remarkable statistic was that nine students gained an offer for a medical course (including two members of the Class of 2008 who successfully reapplied to Monash University after deferring for 12 months). Two of the Class of 2009 also gained places in Monash Medicine, while five students found places in interstate medicine courses. In addition, two students from the Class of 2005 were successful in applications for post-graduate medicine courses.
Monash University was the most popular university with 38 offers, followed by RMIT 16, Deakin 14 and the University of Melbourne nine.
Another pleasing feature of the first round offers was that more than 45 per cent of applicants received their first preference while more than 85 per cent received one of their top four choices.
The most popular areas of study were Commerce and Arts. Other well supported areas were Science, Engineering, Health and Design.
