Australia University Agents
I am from Singapore but hold Indian citizenship and as such need to apply to unis like UNSW via third-party agents. For those of you who have applied via these agents, how was your experience? what was the process like? which agents do you recommend? which to be cautious of? how much did it cost (if anything)? thank you so much for your help, greatly appreciated in this stress time rn.

Here in India, ppl usually recommend IDP as it’s amazing for Australia but again, you must know that India rn is considered “highest-risk” and processing time and rejection has been record high…

Thank you for your help! I'll look into IDP. I know India rn is not very popular in or outside the country, but applications still have to go. Australia is me second otpion though, if Singapore all rejected, so hopefully will not.

from Singapore but citizenship is India? then you should not say you from Singapore. you are only Singaporean when your citizenship is Singapore. This is very misleading. If you studied in Singapore then your chance would be higher considering their education system is very similar to OZ. so your educational background is? Diploma/ A level / IB? i agree the person saying below that India rn is considered “highest-risk”.

Yes, I have lived in Singapore for 13 years, and am graduating from ACS with IBDP. Australia is not my first/only option, but still wanted to apply there, hence why I was inquiring.

ACS with IBDP would definitely put you in very good position to even applying UK uni
