Hi yall, I am just curious about how selection rank works for current uni students who wish to transfer to another uni, let's say UNSW.
I am currently a bachelor student studying bachelor of software engineering at Uni of Canberra. I now have completed my first year at Uni of Canberra with 8 units (1 full time equivalent load) completed. I am trying to get myself transferred to UNSW for bachelor of computer science. I have got an honours degree in mechanical engineering before the software engineering degree I am currently studying but that was back in 2017. Yes I am probably the oldest guy on this forum...
My question is since I have not done any high-school educations in Australia, (yes I was an international student who later obtained Australian permanent residency, my story is a bit complicated...) and the GPA for the engineering degree I have done was pretty much around credit average, despite that I have a 7/7 GPA and 96 WAM for my current study at Uni of Canberra. Would that put me in a huge disadvantage since I am competing with a bunch of brilliant Aussie kids?
And how exactly does GPA to selection rank conversion work? I tried to scoop as much info as I could from UAC and UNSW, whether it's over the phone or via e-mails, they just won't reveal any info regarding matrix or methods of their GPA conversion for selection rank.
Cheers guys, any info related to this topic would be appreciated.
