From High School

Communication was extremely efficient, effective, and clear. The staff was very responsive, and personally engaged with my success in the application and eventual acceptance to medical school. OzTREKK’s staff genuinely cared about my future and my aspirations. I was really excited to work with the team, and especially meet Anna at a meeting in UBC, Vancouver. This facilitated my decision to move forward with OzTREKK in my trek to medical school in Australia! OzTREKK’s quick and personal engagement with my success is one of the main reasons I had been accepted into my dream school. Thank you a thousand!

[Advice for Canadians]: Apply!! There is no cost and OzTREKK, along with the patient, helpful staff is the best way to go through with it. There are so many programs such as dentistry, nursing, vet, engineering, and there are absolutely no downfalls in just simply applying and getting your foot in the door.

The OzTREKK team always made sure to update me with information and meetings that helped me throughout my medical application. They provide comprehensive support for students looking to study in Australia, making the application process smoother and less daunting. Working with OzTREKK can also connect students with a community of other international students, which can be helpful for building a support system abroad. They offer valuable resources and information about living and studying in Australia, including advice on accommodation, visas, and cultural adjustment. Their team often has extensive knowledge about Australian universities and programs, helping students find the best fit for their academic and career goals. Throughout my experience working with OzTREKK, I never had felt confused frustrated, worried, nervous or sad. This was because I was always updated with the information I had required, and if I did have any queries I had the option of calling the office or emailing OzTREKK knowing I would receive a quick and helpful response

During my time working with OzTREKK, I encountered a situation that truly inspired and reassured me. I was anxiously waiting for my Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and was concerned that the delay might impact my application to study in Australia. The uncertainty made me feel a bit overwhelmed and worried about whether I would meet the requirements in time. However, when I reached out to the OzTREKK team, they immediately provided support and guidance. They reassured me that I could use my predicted grades to move forward with my application, alleviating my concerns. Their confidence in my situation not only inspired hope but also made me feel supported throughout the process.

This experience reminded me of the importance of having a reliable support system. Knowing that OzTREKK was there to help navigate the complexities of the application process made all the difference. It turned a stressful moment into one where I felt empowered and excited about my future opportunities in Australia.

Admissions officer was very clear with answers about the timeline, process, a nd advice when it came to making decisions. Information on the website was accurate and helpful. Web content was very useful. I believe I was on a phone call for a good half an hour getting all of my questions answered and I couldn’t believe that 1) there were answers for everything I was wondering and 2) that it was specific to me and I was able to do that with someone!

I love how passionate the team is to help students in their journey to fulfill their professional goals. The team provides valuable information and personalized advice. Also, the info seminars are really helpful. I was a bit nervous the first time I sent my transcripts in via my university because I was unsure if I sent them to the right place but I emailed the medical admissions team and they helped confirm things and reassure me about the process. They also kept me updated throughout the application process which was really reassuring. I felt really hopeful when I got my first interview invite and the team sent me a really nice email to congratulate me which was really sweet.

The massive amount of support – the process to apply for Australian medical schools was super easy and not stressful at all. I never felt confused, frustrated, worried, nervous, or sad while working with OzTREKK. I felt extremely supported during the entire application process. Every step of the way, I was given clear instructions on what I needed to do and how I could go about doing it. It was very easy to figure out what I needed to get done, while the submission of the application itself was taken care of by OzTREKK.

Very responsive. Very professional. Incredibly helpful. And nice to boot! The entire process was hopeful and the team at OzTREKK always made me feel supported.

I felt like OzTREKK was super helpful and involved in the whole application process, they were actively reaching out to make sure that your application was on track and everything was set up in a timely manner. I really appreciated the continuous support throughout the application journey. I felt truly inspired when OzTREKK would hold their online webinars to help us gain more insight on the programs/what studying in Australia would look like.

I cannot begin to explain how thankful I am for OzTREKK and how easy they made the application process. They walk you through the entire process with everything from checklists, blogs, student feedback, consistent communication and plenty of resources for things other than school information. They took all the stress out of the application process. I found OzTREKK communicated effectively and efficiently the entire time. I reached out to ask for information, as I was struggling to secure a line of credit and although OzTREKK couldn’t help me directly, they provided me with all the extra information they could, like examples of what other students had done.

I consistently felt supported. One of the biggest things I appreciate from OzTREKK was their honestly and communication. When deciding which schools to submit applications for, they were very open with telling me my MCAT score was competitive for most schools, but likely wasn’t high enough to be successful with University of Sydney. They gave me the option of whether to still proceed with an application or to put my effort into other schools.

They made everything so easy and stress free. The process of applying to medical school is so stressful but they made it one of the best experiences ever. Communication and fast responses, providing any sort of information and unlimited support.

Great communication, knowledgeable, assisted me in making decisions about which schools to apply to given my credentials. Everything was awesome!

One thing that really struck out while working with OzTREKK was that the team was always so helpful. At any point if I emailed or called, a member of the team was always present to speak to me, and took the time out to properly help me with my concerns. I always felt like they really cared and were always so helpful with my questions. I also liked how efficient the process was and how smoothly everything went. I honestly had no concerns or suggestions for improvement. I thought that everything with OzTREKK was so helpful and worked so well, like a well oiled machine!

I loved everything about the OzTREKK team! Lara was so helpful throughout the entire process. She was very responsive and consistent with my application. I am extremely grateful for her. I believe the OzTREKK team is doing a wonderful job! I had a great experience with the team! They were very considerate and eased my application process.

Working with Matthew Moxley at OzTREKK was an invaluable experience. His guidance and support were instrumental in helping me secure admission to dental school in Australia from Canada. Matthew’s extensive knowledge of the Australian education system and the intricacies of dental school admissions made the entire process seamless. He not only provided expert advice but also showed genuine care for my aspirations. Matthew’s unwavering commitment, constant communication, and meticulous attention to detail instilled confidence in me every step of the way. I truly appreciated his dedication and personable approach, making my journey to dental school in Australia a smooth and successful one.

Very easy communication with admissions officer, always answered in a timely manner and provided information that made transition very easy. Every step was laid out and well defined, and I never felt unsupported or that I had unanswered questions.

I received an incredible amount of support, many answers to all of my questions and great communication. I my experience was very smooth.

My favourite thing about working with OzTREKK was the communication. I always felt like I was able to email at any time with any questions regardless if they were big or small and the officer always responded quickly and with amazing advice. I think OzTREKK is super organized, functional and provides the right amount of help without overreaching! I would recommend OzTREKK to everyone!

Fantastic communication and support throughout the entire process and the team went above and beyond to make applying to medical schools an unforgettable experience. They shared all our heartbreaks and our celebrations along the way and it felt like they were fully invested in helping us to reach our goals. Everything was perfect!

I wish I could tell ya’ll. You’re LITERALLY the best team and did everything LITERALLY perfectly. Amanda, Jaime, Charlynn, Heather, and all other amazing ladies who helped us in our journey.

I loved how easy and convenient OzTREKK made the med school application process and even throughout the entire interview/waiting period, OzTREKK was very good at communicating and prompt replies. Had an absolutely wonderful experience with OzTREKK.

Lara made the whole process very easy and explained everything thoroughly to me. She promptly answered any questions I had.

I loved working with everyone at OzTREKK because they went above and beyond to help me through any issues that arose.

OzTREKK did the majority of the hard part during the application process and were very communicative and helpful overall. Their main website could implement some more FAQs with answers.

Emails were answered consistent with compassion and care, every question was treated with respect and I felt valued as an individual. We even had a phone call with my husband to discuss niche details!

It was very clear method of applying. The team at OzTREKK were able to get back to me quickly with any inquiries. They also provided updated emails and helped guide me through the admission process.

Information provided was thorough and helped with preparation for moving abroad, and OzTREKK was easy to contact. Friendly and swift responses!

Communication/organization from the staff. Super informed about each school/odds of getting in and steps to take. I seriously wouldn’t change anything. Keep up the incredible work!

They made the application process very easy (one application for multiple schools).

One thing I really liked about OzTREKK was the communication. Amanda in particular was the admissions officer I mostly communicated with and she was always helpful in answering my questions and giving me a call whenever I needed it. The information that OzTREKK provided was also great, it’s nice how the website is organized into concise descriptions of each program and university. I also like how they provide stats as well.

[OzTREKK] was incredibly helpful with navigating the application cycle and the website was very easy to navigate. I really appreciated all the [predeparture] information as well.

Made my application to Australian university very simple and easy to understand; they were able to relieve some of the stress of applying by doing the application for me. Also loved all the webinars they provided so I got to speak from past OzTREKK students.

They always responded to me extremely quick and always gave me very helpful advice. They helped me every step of the way with my admission and made everything very clear for me.

Clear communication, always available to answer any and all questions in a timely manner. If for whatever reason my question did not have an answer from OzTREKK, OzTREKK would help direct me to another source that could.

The communication from the staff was always amazing. They responded quickly and provided in-depth answers to all of my questions. They also helped me stay up to date on which applications had been submitted, when they were due, etc. (I had a lot of them, and they helped me strategize when to send off each one based on my school priority list).

They are really approachable and easy to talk to. I could feel that they are willing to help with to achieve the goal that I have. OzTREKK is take care of the applicants, so that they can dream about the life in Australia.

The OzTREKK team made my experience of applying to Australian dental schools seamless! From answering my countless emails to submitting my applications, they made the entire process easy and stress free! I am extremely grateful to them as they have also fostered a great support network of Canadian international students at the University of Melbourne!

Admissions officer answered all of my questions and made the process easier.

I liked how they were communicative and stayed on top of my application through every step of the way.

Very easy to speak with amazing resource for students who are looking to travel to Australia to continue their studies. Communications with admissions officers was very easy and replies were fast. All information was correct and up to date. I think the services are amazing.

Providing clear directions to meet university requirements, prompt in answering our questions and concerns, provided opportunities to meet other students, messages always boost our confidence and calm down our agony of moving to a new country.

You can get in touch with them daily easily and they seem like they want to help. They have good resources for preparing to get settled in a new country which can be daunting. They also make an effort to connect the students together prior to departure which is nice to have a support group.

Email assistance on any questions I had during the application and moving process and during the application and moving process.

[OzTREKK] was the best at communicating and helping me with all my applications and forms. It was honestly the easiest experience possible.

The staff were super helpful and easy to deal with. It made the process stress free and easy! I felt everything was spot on.

They are always easily available and willing to help you during the application process. They are also as excited as you to help you concretize your dream.

Very helpful information about anything I would possibly need to know that you can’t find online.

Communication, assistance, information (predeparture checklist was super helpful).

Thank you for the amazing support to secure my opportunity to attend JCU. I have now settled in and I am enjoying my first couple of weeks of classes very much. I am also loving being in the Burralga Yumba new residence and happy to be making friends, joining clubs and exploring Townsville. I just wanted to check in and once again express my sincere gratitude. I am also happy to share my experience to promote OzTREKK to other students dreaming of going to university in Australia.

As a driven STEM student, the OzTREKK team offered me knowledgeable, professional, and personalized support to chase my post-secondary marine science dreams in Australia. The team was passionate and responsive, helping to guide my research, timelines and applications, as well as offering insights into each unique university program, campus and culture. Their valuable advice helped me to focus on applying to the best-fit schools. Thank you OzTREKK!

Quick and efficient response and made it very easy for me to apply the admission process was seamless. The emails about acceptance were very helpful as well as I would not have known how to correctly accept my offer within the time frame.

Thank you for helping me so much on my journey to an Australian med school…. If any of your future cohorts have any questions about JCU, feel free to ask me or have them reach out to me. I’d love to help out our future students at JCU and give back to the OzTREKK community because without you and the entire OzTREKK team I would never have been here.

The ease of the application process and helpful in answering questions.

Quick communication, friendly, easy to navigate.

Kind and supportive to any questions I had.

OzTREKK was knowledgeable, encouraging, and had my best interest in mind (being free was a HUGE plus too). Communication was always prompt, and OzTREKK even helped me apply via a non-conventional route upon request. I was given information that I didn’t even know I needed, I was kept in the loop at all times, and I was connected to great future classmates.

Very caring about the applicants.

The fast communication, lots knowledge about program requirements, compassionate staff who made the whole process so much easier

They always replied quickly, had great advice, kept us updated throughout Covid changes, and were always so positive. They all care so so much about the students applying.

Support throughout my entire process of getting to Australia. Also the free applications to many of the universities.

I just wanted to take some time today and really say thank you to everyone at OzTREKK…. I still remember when I first spoke to an OzTREKK representative in 2018 at a booth at Western. I don’t remember who I spoke with but she was extremely understanding and patient when I asked multiple questions. I’m so grateful that everyone I’ve engaged with from the OzTREKK team since then has met me with the same attitude, even if it was my fifth time calling that week. From the constant and helpful email communication to always being there to listen to me rant over the phone, OzTREKK and everyone there really made a big difference in my life. I really appreciate everything you guys have done for me.

I’ve wanted to study in Australia for years, but I presumed that this is not something many North Americans would do, so I worried that the application process would be challenging. To my pleasant surprise, OzTREKK made this the easiest application process I’ve ever experienced. I actually feel like it’s been more of a holistic academic support experience than merely an application.

Thank you for all of the incredible support and guidance you have provided throughout the application process and continue to provide as the other students and I prepare to embark on a new journey into medicine. [The medicine team] and everyone else at OzTREKK have helped me manifest my dream of studying at UQ, and I cannot sufficiently express how grateful I am to all of you for answering my litany of questions, hosting meaningful webinars, and connecting me with a wonderful cohort of students. Thank you for all that you’ve done and continue to do!

Thank you so much for playing such an instrumental role in my education and life in Australia the past four years. You guys have the most supportive team that I’ve ever met, and you care so much about not just doing your job but also going above and beyond to make everyone feel right at home despite being all the way across the world. It’s this exceptional level of customer service that it makes it a no-brainer to recommend you to everyone I know.

As an aside, I’m very impressed you were able to compile all of the required course outlines on my behalf. Truth be told I was dreading having to dig back into old binders and professor websites to track all of those down. I already greatly appreciate having you in my corner on this.

The application to Australian University was great and easy to follow. Also there was a great meet up arrangement for all the new OzTrekk students when we first arrived which was a good way to make new friends. Overall I had great experience with OzTrekk. OzTrekk has been supportive during preparations as there were lots of helpful information given.

I really appreciated how helpful and knowledgeable the staff were. Made applying so much more of an easier and comfortable process! They were great with preparing me to move, they offered me a range of services however I was already fairly set up in Australia and didn’t need their services that much! Greatly appreciated all their offers to help however.

My experience with OzTREKK was excellent. From the initial request for more information about Australian universities, to navigating the application process, and gaining advice about accommodations and life in Australia. OzTREKK provided invaluable information and I would not have been able to get to where I am without them. It was all excellent, especially having the students meet up in Canada before moving over.

Everything! You are doing a great job and an invaluable service! The crew in Ontario were a Godsend. nothing to complain about. Just praise. you got me in!

Oztrekk was amazing! The pre-departure resources removed a lot of the ambiguity around the administrative tasks associated with the process (visas, transcripts, health check etc.). I also appreciated all the opportunities to build connections with other students, both in my year and in years above, such as with the facebook groups, meet-ups etc. Also, [OzTREKK] was a huge help for settling in before classes started.  Finding accommodation was slightly stressful, but I think that’s just the nature of moving overseas. Oztrekk did a good job of helping me know what to expect for accommodation options. I feel like Oztrekk went above and beyond.

Fantastic! Easy to communicate with and rapid responses. The team is friendly and truly invested in helping you throughout the entire process. If OzTREKK did anything more for me it would have been actually completing my degree…haha

Very good experience with OzTREKK. I liked how easy everything was and that OzTREKK took care of pretty much everything when it comes to the application and acceptance process.

It was amazing! OzTrekk made applying and the transition to moving to Australia also easy! They put us in contact with students before our arrival in upper years which helped to get us settled once we were here, as well as produce a network of friends prior to classes starting. they helped with information about the medical forms I would need before arriving and got me in contact with people that lived in colleges at my university to help with the application process! I don’t think they could have done anything else, it was an amazing and seamless experience!

It was amazing! They were very very throughout the whole admission process, responds to emails might took a day but if whenever i had an urgent request, I called and they took care of it very quickly. they also made the whole admission process very easy for us as we could apply to all dental schools that take international students. the best part service for me was how accessible the staff were either through emails or phone calls.

I loved the quick emails, no application fee, great walk-through of what must be done to enroll, and the amazing organization of what is required by each school, their tuition, the deadlines, the cost of living, etc. I think it went quite smoothly- there was never a lack of communication which made it simple and less stressful to choose a school and commit. Also, with the full transparency of the costs and what is required, it makes the decision making process with parents much smoother as well.

My experience was incredible. The entire time throughout the process, communication was always so quick and any questions I had were answered. I really enjoyed going to the Toronto meet up and got to meet other students, even some of my class mates. That event got me really excited for my future and showed me what an incredible company they were.

Awesome! Very helpful with the application process, finding out about realms of finances, living arrangements, transportation.

OzTREKK was amazing. They streamlined the process and really all I had to do was submit my main documents (transcripts and passport) and the rest was handled.

Services were very helpful, all of my questions were answered very quickly. All of the people who helped while applying were very helpful. I remember them sending me information about local accommodations near the university which really helped in guiding myself to choose a place to stay.

I loved working with Oztrekk! It was very easy to email in questions about every step of the application process. I also liked how nice everyone was over email and on the phone. It made applying to Australia a lot easier

Quick and convenient; all of the information was available in one place and I was able to apply to multiple universities with just one application. All of my questions were answered promptly without me having to do research online or make multiple phone calls.

Oztrekk was always available for any inquiries I had and made the application process super easy. They went above and beyond to help with accommodations, finances, etc. You guys were amazing and made every step so seamless and stress-free! THANK YOU!!

It was great. The staff was very helpful and efficient with responses to questions or issues. Everything was pretty easy.

My experience with OzTREKK has been a long but rewarding journey. I like how OzTREKK does not give up on your goals to study abroad in Australia. They will offer/suggest other ways for you to achieve the dream to study in Australia (i.e., suggesting other school to apply to). The application process is simple and easy to follow.

OzTREKK played a very important role in the entire process leading to a successful acceptance of my Son into the BVSc program at the University of Queensland. It was quite a journey, very daunting and stressful , As a Parent I was making one of the most important financial decisions of my life combined with the decision for a success full career for my Son. Meghan Strank was our Advisor at OzTREKK, She was very supportive, very knowledgeable patient and always willing to go the extra mile. She prepared us right from day one with the right information, what to expect, the timelines so on and so forth. Because of her great advice my Son was able to prepare himself academically for a successful acceptance into the program. We had a dream and Meghan helped us make it real. Meghan is very Professional, prompt , provides very detailed information. We worked as a team, she understood our situation and provided solutions based on our situation. We cannot thank enough to Meghan at Oztrekk for helping us and guiding us.

Everything required to apply for school was organized by OzTREKK and an outline as to what was required from me was provided. Additionally, letting me know what was still missing from my application helped.

I had the most amazing experience with OzTrekk. Starting from providing me with information in my initial stages of my research about Bond university, to helping me with the application process, to helping me with accommodations and other information through webinars and info sessions.
