70 WAM. Easy or difficult? (3 Viewers)

[Shadowdude]

So apparently to stay in my SAM/Comm course (that's what I'll be calling it), I need to keep a WAM of 70.

Is this... easy or difficult?

you're easy

 

[mitchy_boy]

but seriously, my sisters getting like 80's in her course, and she's mildly retarded(well the doctor never picked up on it). so if you study etc, 70 sounds easy enough.

Fantastical.

i need the same to get into comm/law 2nd year. A mate of mind said it's quite easy.. considering semi-retarded people usually get 65 average for commerce first year with no study at all

Do you only need 70 because you're combining it with a high ATAR, or can anyone doing comm get 70 and potentially transfer to comm/law?

Don't they have a limit on the students they take in via transfer anyway? So wouldn't you have to compete against other James Ruse kids that JUST missed out?

70 WAM is piss easy. Most people i know doing com/adv maths have 80+ WAMs.

At UNSW - the minimum to get into comm/law 2nd year is a 95 atar; combined with a 75 wam
or
if you were lucky enough to get above 97 atar, a 70 wam is required.

If you meet the above you're in.

At usyd's it's a different story though, and if you get those marks it's only competitive and not guaranteed entry

easy, even when doing engineering

yeh easy when everyone just copies each others answers and does the quizzes in groups of like 20 people

 

[Shadowdude]

Fantastic, kaz.

I guess that means... PARTY TIME!

Just cause you couldn't find anyone to do them with.

If it's online you're meant to do it with other people.

no ur not u asian tryhard

Do you have any idea how funny it is to watch a group of 20 people argue about who enters the answer first because everyone is afraid of losing 1/2 a mark out of 24 , when the quiz is worth only 3% of your final mark.

Its absolutely pathetic!

Physics is insanely hard and you need all easy marks you can get.

if you look over on the transfer section of this forum...
you needed at least a 97.5 (50% atar 50% uni)

so youd be safe with 98 atar and distinction average..

Combined Law Entry
Transfer applicants are assessed on 50% ATAR and 50% tertiary grades. Entry is very competitive and generally students require an ATAR of 97 and a grade point average of 6.0 (distinction) in their first year of study.

straight from the unsw website: http://www.law.unsw.edu.au/future_students/undergraduate/entry/transferEntry.asp




unless you were inferring about usyd?

and yes i got above 98 atar

------

for usyd:

Admission requirements are based upon your ATAR (50 per cent) and/or Tertiary Grade Point Average (50 per cent). Entry to Combined Law is extremely competitive and experience shows that as a guide a ATAR above 96 and/or a Tertiary Grade Point Average at a Distinction level are necessary for a competitive application to transfer into Combined Law.

I'm pretty sure i'm right anyway as ive heard the figures at least a hundred times already

yeah i was referring to usyd...
but yea h for usyd..it says 96 and distinction level..
but in the transfer forum..they needed significantly higher..

so for e.g.
if you got 97 for you atar...you would high distinction average..
(now i realise what i said before was wrong..)
cos a gpa of 6.5 = 98wam...giving you the 97.5
even for unsw...that is probably just the figures to be competitive...

like..for undergrad med... it says you need 95+ or something like that..
but the reality is that the median is 99.5 (?)...95 would only be for someone
who got a 100 percentile in umat....
im pretty sure the figures from the unsw website wouldnt get you into combined law..

but i dunno..i had a friend who got 95.7 and got into there..haha which i think is pretty funny

wow well you just unloaded upon me a whole lot of shit i didn't know

But in essence, for unsw it's better to have gotten 98~ than 97 to get into combined law? that's all i really need to know.
Because before, all i thought was that you either get 95 or 97 and that was measured with the wam
