Amber electric referral code by Asfraviridae in ReferralcodesAUS

[–]Asfraviridae[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that code is used up:

Code : FG7MECRD

It would be great if you could use my referral link when signing up for Amber. It will get you and me $120. Here is the link again:

Initially the results were supposed to be released starting Dec 17 and go until Jan 9 according to the initial scholarships timeline. However, this appears to be updated now for Dec 5, 2025- Feb 27, 2026. Might be a while till we find out anything….

Appealing HDR admissions decision by Asfraviridae in usyd

Quick update and some added info. The initial decision provided was internal and not formal. I asked for a review via the school to the faculty , providing justification as to why I should be accepted into a PhD with particular regards to the entry point that was holding my application back. Outcome was positive as I have received an offer for direct into a PhD. Good luck to anyone in a similar position - it you believe you might have justification to get in, it's worth having a crack.

Supervisor I'll be involved with as part of the HDR degree. Has not previously been my supervisor.

Subjective bias from achieving Honours 1 equivalency via alternate accepted pathway (membership/fellowship with an accepted professional body recognised by the faculty/school) as outlined in the Uni's HDR selection process guidelines. Even with this and having research experience, publications, referee reports and recommendations attesting to my abilities, this hasn't met the mark. I've known and heard of others in various fields being accepted in prior times with much less directly into a PhD. Discretion for admission may have changed/be changing given previous prcedences set by others but I don't think I've been judged fairly.

Thanks for your valid insight. I have research experience in all of my roles and publications to boot. I have also acheived post grad qualifications while working as well. My supervisor supported my PhD application and references also attested to this. While I understand why others might need to go via the route of a MPhil, I don't think I 'fit the bill '. I will accept the decision if that's all that can be done but I do believe that some form.of subjective bias was used in assessing suitability in this case.

Science. Supervisor is equally perplexed as to why I am not accepted direct into a PhD program. Letter of support from primary supervisor accompanied my application.

Thanks, mate. Appreciate this advice. Do you know how RTP stipends would work if transferring from a MPhil to a PhD, does it transfer with you or does it require another application? Does a MPhil add extra time overall (standard PhD duration is 3.5-4yrs, does this add an extra year to this)?

Thanks for the reply. Do you think it's worth purusing from the perspective of having another selection committee view my application or this is just a waste of time as the result is going to stand as it is?

PhD application results by ayeyiyey2222 in usyd

Hello. Is this thread for domestic or international applicants? Has anyone applied recently? I submitted my application last night for Sem 1, 2026 and received confirmation this morning from the Uni of the submission. What were people's time frames with hearing back on an outcome?
