Bit of a delayed post, but I just wanted to clarify: Med degrees are either undergraduate (and look at ATAR) or postgraduate (and look at GPA). Your best bet is to complete an undergraduate degree, sit the GAMSAT and apply for a postgraduate MD. Somebody suggested you apply internationally but...

Another late reply, but I'll second Macquarie. UNSW doesn't have as rich of an Arts offering in comparison because Arts isn't exactly where its strength lies but its far from being a bad choice if you're truly set on it for some other reason.

imo 3u is beneficial but 2u would provide you with a good enough starting point. You can always learn the relevant 3u topics in your own time.You don't NEED 3u but the topics will come up eventually for CS so you may as well. As for Finance, 2u is more than enough.

Ok, well, law is definitely the degree for that. Nobody really does single law though because 1. it's four years of just law and you could get two degrees for just one extra year and 2. the workload is bigger if you do single law which, along with the fact that it's a professional degree and as...

Not sure when exactly you moved to Australia but look into EAS bonus points because I know there's a disadvantage related to migrant status somewhere in there (I think it's if you've moved to Australia in the past 5 years or something but check it for yourself). You may be able to get bonus points.

This is my third reply to your today because I'm a little tired and killing time online lol but I figure you might find it useful so, anyway.. I know a person that studied at the University of New England and now works at one of the Big 4 Accounting firms in their legal department. Don't know...

English Adv is the hardest out of those followed by Economics. The two are very different and imo English Adv is harder to do well at because you can't rote learn it like you can with Economics. When i did the HSC I also did ancient and don't underestimate it when it comes to the exam because...

There's nothing to be gained from having done maths when it comes to a law degree as there is nothing remotely maths related in a law degree (assuming you pair it with Arts). Maths would be an advantage for a Commerce or Economics degree though so really it depends on the combination you choose...

You don't get extra points for more disadvantages. As long as you qualify for EAS you'll be in the running for points. AFAIK the cutoff was somewhere above 97 as law is pretty competitive but it changes year to year and last year the lowest ATAR to get into law was around 95.

The BE/ME in electrical also lets you do a minor sequence in one area (they have a list on the website). One of them is CS so you might be interested in that. Have you looked into the combined BE/CS degree (also a very good use of time)? BE/CS might even be better than BE/ME in the sense that it...

You should contact the business faculty about internal program transfers. I don't think you need to apply through UAC at all.

A credit is a credit and no uni is going to individually assess each uni's marking criteria meaning if a postgraduate degree asks for a credit then if you show up with a credit average from any uni you'll get in. Attend the university you feel most comfortable with and put in the necessary...

UTS SENG is 5 years? USyd's degree isn't a SENG degree but is essentially the same content as their IT or Sc(CS) degrees so if you want a more theoretical understanding of CS then I'd switch over (and even consider doing a 4th honours yr). I've heard UTS is a more practical course, sometimes...

This is somewhat true but it really depends on what you want to do in biotech. If you want to work in a lab as a scientist then you really don't need any business skills but if you want to work in marketing or some other business role like product management then I don't see why you shouldn't...

While this is absolutely true, you still need a good academic foundation. Law is a professional degree that is very applicable to practice. But the OP is in the HSC so they don't have to worry about any of that stuff yet..
