Yeh you can. Any undergrad degree will suffice.

Do I need any other requirements to get accepted into grad law at Sydney or will the unergrad degree suffice in itself?

I think the undergrad degree is enough. Although you would probably need really great marks.

Sydney Uni's JD (Juris Doctor) criteria is based on 25% ATAR/UAI and 75% your territory results.

I would be interested to know how many people apply for USYD's JD verses how many people get accepted into it.

Also, could you tell me what this requirement is like for Macquarie Uni?

Thanks

I've asked and they've told me that they don't release specific requirements. They wouldn't even tell me what kind of marks I need to be competitive which was frustrating. I have been told it's very competitive though.

Well that's great.

If you *really* want to do law you will. You just have to work for it. There are always transfers.

So is graduate law at USYD/MAQ an unlikely scenario due to its competitiveness?

Macquarie only requires that you have an undergrad degree and you would probably need something like a high credit - distinction average. Maybe even less because its graduate. I transferred into their combined arts/law with like a high credit average (I still think it was a miracle).

Their website for the JD states that 25/75 requirement:

check under "Direct Entry"

This. Find the passion within you, harness it and turn that into motivation and I assure you you'll get in, whether its now or later.

Getting into Macq is far more likely than USYD (to be honest). Unless your marks are phenomenal... Think about it... Even if you had a HD average, if your UAI or ATAR was like 92 or 94 you probably still wouldn't be able to get in. In my opinion that 25/75 thing is just a joke.

I was actually replying to this query about Macquarie. I suspect if you call and push enough they might tell you the requirements.

What do you think is a miracle and why?

That I got in with a High Credit average, why...? Because it's a High Credit average and not something greater like a Distinction or High Distinction average.

What would be the normal (average) cut-off GPA for a CSP in grad law for MAQ? (considering it would be usually higher than high credit)

Also is it 100% GPA with MAQ, or do they take into account any other factors?
