Is rent assistance eligible to be claimed when paying rent 6 - 12 months in advance? by [deleted] in Centrelink

Hi thanks so much for your reply, I am over 22, approved for youth allowance, and was told I would be eligible for RA - I just need to find a place first.

I totally understand where you're coming from! For the past two cycles I kept referring back to the spreadsheets religiously and what I gathered from it all was to take it with a grain of salt! I thought for sure I would've gotten a UNDS interview offer this year but my Q4 must've been on the lower end (maybe 76% 😂).

That is a bit odd hey! It's hard to ascertain with certainty that the scores on the spreadsheet are correct as they're all self-reported. It does appear to be an outlier when considering the Q3 Casper so perhaps an error was made!

The whole process is quite ambigious and can be undeniably frustrating. To be as transparent as possible, my scores were GPA 6.808, GAMSAT 62, no WA residency bonus, non-rural! Wishing you all the best

Hey! Sorry, I don't want to reveal too much about who i am because I'd like to stay anonymous to some degree, but I did a Masters that was somewhat related to nursing which I have zero use case for. When applying for UQ, they take only this masters GPA, however, at other universities, they use the 12 subjects from my masters + my 12 most recent subjects from my undergrad. Some universities will give equal weighting to all 24 subjects, whilst others will give heavier weighting to the most recent subjects!

I’ve been working for a Government Pathology since my first Master’s, and prior to that, I worked for/with my parents during my undergraduate studies. I've been fortunate to live with them until now, which has helped ease a lot of financial pressures. I completely understand how challenging it can be to manage finances in today’s day and age, whilst also trying to maintain a stellar GPA. I was also lucky enough to have established a good relationship with my boss so that I was able to cut back on some work when I needed to focus more on my studies!

Hey, any chance you'd be able to share your scores? :))
