BE (Aero)/BSci I like pina coladas, I'm not much into health food - I am into champaign yadda yadda. But most of all I'm excited to find out just how many bills I'm gonna get stuck with in the first couple weeks :angry: Thank god Christmas was generous this year...

Its only UNIX work? During my FEAS interview the guy seemed pretty keen on explaining their designing software. I guess it could have been unix based but I imagine it'd be pretty hard going to crank out these aerospace designs on a text-based output :confused:

I recently went through all the testing to become a Pilot in the RAAF and it was all solid until the HSC began approaching at rapid speed. I hadn't been contacted in a while from my Recruitment officer and gave him a call - turns out they were full of Pilots in ADFA and he offered me a variety...

Hey I'm currently enrolling at UNSW in a Enginerring and Science degree - with the aerospace plan. What I'm wondering right now is: Do I need/Would I benefit if I had a laptop with me with enough grunt to run the engineering software I'll be using. That will let me work on bits and pieces in...

I was going to make a similar thread - but then found this one and decided to tag it on here instead :P So basically - I'm enrolling in a UNSW Engineering (Aerospace) course [Also a physics course but I don't think laptops are a huge need in there] and while in my FEAS interview the lecturer...

Don't say things like that - its not fun to mess with peoples minds at times like these :P

I signed up using my UAC number but I don't see any "Valid Offers" in the list for Semtember 2008? I don't know. Maybe it means I missed out on my first preference, or maybe they aren't up yet. September seems a little late, though? Or do Uni's normally start that late..? Is that a second...

Good point. I guess what I was trying to say was to put a large preference towards high scaling subjects which you still have potential in, rather then lower scaling UAI courses of which you perhaps a slight increased interest in. DON'T pick Extension Maths 2 if you struggle with general, for...

To be completely honest, I'm torn on this. I think that for the marks you recieved it was quite unfair to give you a 50s UAI, but I guess that reflects just how competitive the state is now, and how important it is to "play the system". HOWEVER... It is becomming critically important to know...

There is little chance of PREDICTING them, all you can do is apply for them in preference order - thats why you have 9 preferences. Just put them down in order - no harm can come to you for it. Not putting them down would just kill your chances down to 0%.

Business Studies: 79 (ARG, lol, I screwed up the HSC test) Adv English: 82 Physics: 80 Eng Ext: 37/50 Maths: 74 (I was lucky here, My school assesment mark scaled up by about 25% because I went to an awesome school :D) Economics: 80 This resulted in a 83.35 UAI - but because of my course...

Heya I don't think my UAI was particularly bad, in fact I like it (83.35). But what I am posting for is to remind you of the bonus schemes going on in most Uni's around. For example, most of the courses I'm interested in are 85+, but because I got band 5 in Adv english, E3 in English...

What the heck? Lol, that is crazy guys! Chill out! You've got another three terms before everything turns upside down! You keep yourselves going on like this and no UAI in the world is going to save you from the impending insanity!

Man these forums are copping it a bit :bomb: I'm headed up there! With about 15 - 20 mates. Should be some good fun, But we get first dibs on the ice cream parlour and pancake place, you've been warned :mad:

I actually liked text #3. It was #2 that annoyed me really - analyse her use of comparison? (Or contrast, I can't remember) That was slightly annoying for three marks :mad1: But for the five marker text one and three were nice ones :headbang:
