La Trobe - Again.

On Sunday, I met up with my relatives and cousin for dinner. I told my cousin about me having to sit for the IELTS examiniation before being able to accept the offer given to me by La Trobe. I was then advised to call the person in charge to inform them that I was from Singapore, a nation which English was the primary language. I emailed the Chief Executive Director (International) after searching for his email address on La Trobe's website regarding my command of the English language as well as me having an "A" throughout my high school education.

Last night while I was surfing La Trobe's website and went into the Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery, my hopes were dashed as the English language requirements for admission into the it was a minimum overall band score of 6.5 with no individual band score less than 6.0 for IELTS. I wrote a check payable to the "British Council" and duly completed the IELTS Academic workshop application form and asked my dad to send it the following day as my AL on the 14th had already been approved.

I received an email from La Trobe University today. I was expecting the same reply that I would require the IELTS. However, to my delight, I was told that my condition for offer which is the English language had been waived!

I'm now waiting for my parents to give me the green light, so that I can go over to my agent, Hui and Kuah this Saturday to accept my offer and make the necessary payment, which comes to about $13500 Singapore Dollars. And that's only for the 1st half of the year and for the 3 years of health cover.

Well well, till then,

Have a nice day peeps and it's bedtime for me.
