[Winn]

Kinda unrelated- does anyone know if our school gets informed by UNSW about us getting coop?

LOL at the pokemon thing, XD.

 

[blueberry08]

oh okay guess u cant hav everythin I'll just do commerce then

really!? theres a ceremony for co-op?

 

[Winn]

like an induction ceremony or something i think

Are you going to accept your offer sikhman?

 

[arjungamer123]

Ahhh I'm so happy. Just got a conditional offer for Chemical Engineering xD

 

[blueberry08]

not entirely sure - have to wait and see....

which one would u perfer more MC or co-op? I like coop betta cz u get industry experience nd make great friends

 

[untouchablecuz]

got an electrical engineering c offer

 

[arjungamer123]

but co-op locks you in to certain companies.

chaikin, you can also do vac work, and get paid separately, so you end up with more - plus you can travel a lot more in summer hols...

Mate I don't know why you're in this thread talking about Harvard and all these American colleges, and telling people about the disadvantages of the Co-op Scholarship Program.

Bottom line is that you get 15 grand tax free a year. And all you have to do is study and do a few internships(which btw in any country, don't pay well at all, if anything).

^but can't you choose both MC & Coop?

Congratulations to all Coop recipients.

 

[untouchablecuz]

Congratulations to all Coop recipients.

thanks

congrats2all

 

[arjungamer123]

lol

because you know so much about internships lol

smec pays ~$16k for their vac workers. bhp/xstrata pay more.

everyone knows about the advantages of co-op, i'm just saying i would pick mc over co-op...

i don't know what you're doing saying random stuff that's really simplistic....

Okay first, what's MC stand for?

 

[lyounamu]

Okay first, what's MC stand for?

Malcolm Chaikin - some crazy scholarship that is worth 15000 that doesn't restrict u from doing whatever course u want to do (Except that u need to do engineering or science-related degree)

i got a shortlist for BIT but i also had a mech eng interview but i have no info about it on the offers page... if i didnt get an offer shouldnt i hav a 'sorry ur unsuccessful' message thing??? can some 1 please answer that

 

[lyounamu]

nah can't take both lol

ummm i suggest ringing them up - and asking....seems a bit odd.....

U sure? That's what I heard ><

Oh well, I think that's far though. I mean u cannot take 30 k every year..

 

[micuzzo]

nah can't take both lol

ummm i suggest ringing them up - and asking....seems a bit odd.....

no i dnt want both... but i remember at the briefing day thing they sed u wuld get an 'unsuccessful' notice... the only reason i ask is bcoz i did 100 times better in my engo interview than the BIT one and i got a shortlist offer for BIT...i also got two emails... maybe my page hasnt been updated yet

 

[micuzzo]

yeh... i was hoping that that could be confirmed 100%... ill ring them

 

[Akaru-Hime]

Ahh...to my shock, I got conditional for Actuarial Studies and shortlisted for Finance. >.<

Kind of reeling in a state of disbelief. >.>

And well done to everyone else~ ^^

 

[untouchablecuz]

who evers got an offer for co op: take it (unless its not the course you want)

75k for 68 weeks work (even less)

~57k p/a TAX FREE

awesome

 

[blueberry08]

@sikhman: I hope u get the MC offer! =D They come out after HSC results right?
yeah Im not interested in science courses so Im very happy with co-op

congratz to all again ^.^
