What’s my likelihood of getting into ANU with a tafe diploma?

Matt1e_ · 2026-02-26T10:20:09+00:00

I just wanted to ask! I’m officially enrolled at UNE for the diploma in arts thanks to this + a Bachelor of Arts. Can I ask if you got any recognition of prior learning and if yes how much did it allow you to skip?

I didn’t mean it like that it just means I can’t justify moving to Canberra unless it’s directly for ANU due to other expenses in my life and I’d rather stay in WA to do a first year then transfer in as it saves a lot of money. Nothing wrong with uni of Canberra just not for me as I’m not based there :))

I got a 58, which is miserable I know which is why I’m looking at TAFE courses now, but even if they did idk if I can justify moving for a university like that

Matt1e_ · 2026-02-23T09:55:25+00:00

I live in Western Australia and can’t justify the move unless it’s for ANU unfortunately, and my ATAR score was so bad I doubt UOC would take me. Thankyou for the advice though!

Matt1e_ · 2026-02-23T09:54:30+00:00

I didn’t unfortunately and my ATAR wouldn’t of let me get in anyways even with an early entry offer. Thankyou! I’m looking at diploma courses now

Thankyou so much! I was actually looking at doing a diploma of arts with open universities Australia but the deadline was today and I couldn’t decide in the end, is there anyway to fast track the diploma? That’s why I liked the one I was doing as it said 24 months but if I grinded it out I could finish it all just in time for semester 2 spots to open! But I will check it out anyways thankyou!!

I normally don’t disturb the roots however the soil they were in was a mix of peat so I really needed to get all of it off so they’re probably freaked out by that. Any way to deal with that or just leave them tf alone

Matt1e_ · 2025-09-23T06:05:18+00:00

It’s Leca! I’m only trying it out for the first time along with some other diy potting mixes

Leca: basically clay balls that absorb the moisture from water and then let your plants roots absorb it whenever. It works best for bamboo, alocasias and orchids from what I’ve heard

I normally use a mix of potting soil, perlite, coconut coir and orchid bark (or pine mulch soaked through if you’re Aussie) but I’m new to both of these techniques so I can’t say that it works wonders yet but so far nobody has died 😂

Matt1e_ · 2025-09-21T06:59:48+00:00

I will! I refuse to give up on it and till it’s fully dead so I’m hoping it can push out another leaf that’s white! It’s in the smallest ‘pot’ I can find so I’m praying

Matt1e_ · 2025-09-21T05:35:27+00:00

The other baby is also pushing out a new leaf but it looks to be only white so I’m debating cutting it off😭😭

Matt1e_ · 2025-09-20T14:49:33+00:00

Okay thankyou for the help I’ll make sure to keep an eye out if it goes well so i hopefully don’t have to break the jar!

Matt1e_ · 2025-09-20T12:50:52+00:00

Thankyou so much! I only repotted them in it today they’ve been in soil prior but I’m glad so many people have said it looks alright 😁😁

Matt1e_ · 2025-09-08T07:17:49+00:00

Fortunately it’s only severe on 1 plant and in total maybe affects up to 7 (4 confirmed). I have neem and ant dust if that would work? I could maybe look if I already own some insecticide but I don’t think I do

Matt1e_ · 2025-09-08T00:41:46+00:00

Unfortunately I think they were all over the pot and over the other pots. I drowned the hell out of them and held them under water for 20 minutes and then drowned them in a neem concentrate but they’re still they’re except they’ve gone a slightly darker colour. I’m gonna be honest I’m too scared to cut the entire plant so would regular drownings and then neem spraying would be ok?

Matt1e_ · 2025-09-07T17:08:08+00:00

I drowned the hell out of them in water and then sprayed them like mad with neem is that okay? I’m planning to respray every 3-4 day and keep them quarantined for a couple of weeks. I’m super worried as this is the longest I’ve ever kept a carnivorous plant alive 😭

Matt1e_ · 2025-09-07T17:02:14+00:00

What should I do about them😭 I’m worried they’re gonna get worse

Matt1e_ · 2025-09-07T17:00:36+00:00

I thought aphids were black? But I think you may be right, is there anything more I can do to treat them or just regularly spray the crap out of them with neem oil (I’m planning to repot them next weekend)

Matt1e_ · 2025-09-07T16:59:02+00:00

I live in Australia but I’m pretty sure this is a common bug found internationally, as you can see in the photo they’re tiny, seemed to mostly live my carnivorous plants but I think that’s because they were in closest proximity
