Anyone else apply for selective entry there?
Anyone else here been told to go for an interview?
I'm happy and nervous at the same time, i need this to go well for me. The stress and things going on atm makes it seem like my atar may be below par, which could make it much harder for me to get into what i would really enjoy.
Nervous times... stressful times.

Which course?

I've got an interview on the 24th for engineering and mathematics. YAY!!!

Good combo, maths at UoW is great.

 

[Mr Slick]

UoW is shit, the assumed knowledge for engineering courses is Physics and "2unit Maths"

HSC 2012? Sorry, didn't realise you'd been to UoW - don't talk about how 'shit' it is, especially when its just for something like assumed knowledge.

UoW is a very good uni. Does it carry the prestige of say UNSW or USYD? Of course not! Engineering and particularly Informatics wise however it is definitely a great uni.

So you are saying it is better than UNSW for engineering courses?

Depends. But I do hear that the teaching is good at UoW, maybe better than UNSWs. Research wise, probably not.

ur pretty silly aren't you

lil fella

My god, did I say that? No. I said it's a great uni - I think it's ridiculous to just flat out compare courses like that.

I'm going for an interview for Civil Engineering there.
They have a pretty okay rep for engineering. Obviously not as good as say UNSW, though the rep of uni's doesn't mean everything, say if i had top marks at UoW and you had bad marks at UNSW i would probably get the job over you.

Can I make an interjection? Objectively speaking, that situation will probably never happen - you will be also competing with top UNSW, USyd, UoW, UTS students, so isolating it to a good UoW student and a bad UNSW student doesn't say much or carry much meaning in real world situations.

more likely the firm will pick up the student with the most work experience, the highest gpa and the most networking done.

i doubt they really care which uni.

Why don't you apply for UNSW, I am pre sure your atar will be over 90

 

[Valentino25]

I am applying for UNSW and UTS. Just rather have a backup. Also the way im feeling heading to the hsc with lots of issues going on, im not as confidant of a high atar anymore.
Also i like wollongong so i would be pretty happy to go there anyway.

 

[Shadowdude]

I had half a mind to go to UoW, when I put Adv. Maths at UoW as one of my higher options - I even got a call from one of the people there about maths, and the possibility of taking English as well - because maths goes well with English according to the person I talked to.

It was a nice, personable experience.

Well in terms of the campus itself, I personally find it much more appealing than UTS, and mostly more appealing than USyd/UNSW (although I will admit, USyd is just too big otherwise it'd look great).

I think they do this for everyone - call to see if you're keen to go to UoW. I remember receiving a quick call about it.

Good initiative, imo.

Gets them a lot of brownie points.
