Re: Can you explain the basic differences between the US schooling/uni system and VCE You're right - I blanked on that one. I provided my reports 9-12 as well.

Re: Can you explain the basic differences between the US schooling/uni system and VCE I was about to pass this over as a case of tl;dr - but the numbering won me over in the end. What are the equivalents to the USA senior, sophomore and junior years? From what I see, junior is year 10...

Hi guys, For those looking to head to the US, you're probably on top of things and are doing/have done your SATs (vital component of an application for any US college). There's not too much SAT study material available here in Aus (sadly), so I'm just letting you know that I'm selling a...

Haha! :haha: I'm glad I saw this thread, otherwise I would have forgotten to take the quiz!....:uhoh:

I agree, I don't think it's illogical. I was talking to some of the Deans of various faculties sometime in February, and it seems to me that they're really looking to the US in terms of what model to follow. (Obviously not, however, the complete Liberal Arts model, though Melbourne has more or...

(cont..) 3. Specialising. This point applies more to Yr 12s then. So I said to choose what you like and are good at and also to keep your options open in Yr 11. That means you'll probably head into Yr 12 with more units that you actually need. That means (YAY!) you'll probably have the...

OMG lol! :haha: I feel that I should probably add something a little less facetious to the my OP. :) Young Grasshoppers, Whether you're in Yr 11 or Yr 12, the question always comes up of subject choices. I should know - I was in the same boat, plus my sister is currently in Yr 11, and my...

Can I just gently remind you that YOU need to be the one that's pro-active in figuring out what you need to do, and in getting your application together? The overseas colleges are looking for people who have initiative (among other qualities, like leadership, brains etc) - and this means that...

Now I feel really, really guilty I withdrew from ECOP for ECON (and knowing it would be tonnes more boring as well!). Frank Stilwell seems like such an awesome guy!!!!!!

Ah...s'allright. I'll just wait for a new timetable. It would have been good to take it easy, but I kind of knew what I was getting myself into with 2 languages + switch to Econ. I'm kind of pumped actually!!! Though I'd BETTER have time to get stuck into the extracurriculars! Currently...

I think its good..right? Looks amazing - getting off before 2 most days. PS. I suggest skip the friday lecture!!! Damn the crazy amount of contact hours for languages. And I'm not sure what to do (wait for a new timetable?) with the unit change. Sigh. Uni is stressful lol.

Everyone has a different way of breaking down the content, but everyone WILL have to break down the content (whichever way they do it). Otherwise it's very easy to get overwhelmed at the sheer amount of stuff there is to know. I did it with lots of summaries, mind maps and essay plans. Very...

OMG. You're amazing. I honestly have so much respect for anyone going into teaching! :angel: Wish you all the best with everything, you sound like an incredible person. :wave::guitar:

Haha, conversely, I spaced on the Law mentoring form! I'm sure I'll see in O-Week/Law camp/lecture! :D I'm doing for first semester: Intermediate French, Advanced Beginners Chinese, Microeconomics. What are your units for BPess? I think that there were required subjects for Government/IR...

OMG That's nuts!!!!! Wasn't he just amaaaazing!!!! He was probably one of the most beloved teachers at Pymble, and trust me, our whole year was collectively heartbroken when he went!!! Congrats to you as well! Amazing results, and I'm extra psyched because I was thisclose to doing BPess as well...
