    No it's not like high school maths, not to scare you but its quite harder than 2unit + 3unit, especially as you get into 2nd year + 3rd year maths. Yes you should enjoy maths to major in maths otherwise you'll find it very hard to study/learn/get motivated/do well.

    iffy ATAR for first preference - any info on internal transfers in Semester 2?

    Ok, I'm wrong. You are right. There's no restrictions. Anyway, of course you can select courses not under your program, as you said above, otherwise you won't be able to choose GE courses and no, UNSW would never guide students in violating the law! PS: For the OP, the original advice still...

    iffy ATAR for first preference - any info on internal transfers in Semester 2?

    yes there is a rule. this is part of the commonwealth supported places rule, the government doesn't want to pay more than they have to. I guess if you're paying full fee then theres no rule. you're not allowed to do any courses that wont count towards your degree, i.e. more courses than you need...

    wow, sorry, I stand corrected. Yeah its just 24UOC as you said. Well, you're not meant to enrol in courses not in your program but you can...its kinda weird. But basically if you're taking this route, you can just enrol in courses as if you were doing psychology, and then hopefully next semester...

    i think you can only internal transfer after completing 36 UOC (i.e. at the end of the year after you finish 2 semesters which will be 48 UOC). It's risky because if you don't want to do Social Science at all, and then say you dont get the marks/WAM you need to transfer then you'll be stuck...

    underfilled tutorials

    you don't need to worry, even if they cancel it, they'll move you into the other one. however if this screws up your free day thats another story.

    that's true about knowing people from SCIF, you can meet most of the people doing adv. maths. it is harder to meet other people doing adv. maths in maths1141/1241 since lots of them are engineers (most of them) or they might be doing adv.maths/commerce(actuarial), so they'd be in math1151...

    ahhh...i was supposed to!! I forgot when I told you that actually. But i went on exchange in semester 1 which ruined those plans, but I did Chinese on exchange and I was gonna do Chinese this semester but it clashed with my subjects...and I heard it was a lot harder than the one I did last year...

    High Performance Student Plan

    In this specific degree or in maths? Well, I just wanted to do maths because I was interested in it, so naturally I chose to do Adv. Maths but if I didn't get in I probably would've just done Science majoring in Maths. Yeah, it's been what I've expected. Learning lots of cool and new stuff that...

    this is true. there are only a few perks of doing the adv. maths degree which may not outweigh the flexibility/options of just doing B Science. The main point of adv. maths is just to get more students doing maths anyway (and because sydney uni had it as well), so its working.

    i dont think you can do either :S one of my friends asked about engineering/adv maths last week and it wont be offered next year at least. you can't do comp sci/adv maths but you can do comp sci/maths which is the same... adv. maths is the same as just science majoring in maths essentially.
