cause at school the principal and teachers were asking my younger sister what course I was doing and what uni I was studying at.

Do schools find out what uni course each student is doing?

not a bad idea actually ;)

Re: hsc/uai I was in a similar situation to you. In 2001 I did the HSC for maths and maths ext 1 and scored HSC marks of 97 and 95 respectively. In 2002, i completed my other subjects and thought about repeating 3 unit but didn't, it isn't really worth it, better to spend time in other...

i didn't know that you could obtain two majors, or are u talking about a major and sub-major?

my course program is the opposite, I am mainly doing science units and am also doing accouting as part of commerce.

from what i remember, the order in which you put your preferences has no effect on who gets an offer first. If you don't get your first and second preference it goes to your third preference which in essence becomes your new first preference so to speak. It doesn't matter who gets an offer...

yeah that was my thinking originally, the fact that UNSW offered more commerce majors such as actuarial studies and international business. I would have put UNSW as my first preference, but I think it was more the atmosphere that turned me off there, didn't get a good vibe. Do u study arts...

yeah I noticed that sydney doesn't offer international business not that I'm intending to major in it, for me it would be more like finance or accounting, maybe actuarial studies at UNSW later. does commerce at UNSW have compulsory subjects such as accounting, business information systems...

The dux at my school got 98.55, next was 98.5 (me, damn just missed out!), then 98.4, then 94.65......

because it would take too long to scan and I don't have a scanner. Plus each topic has something like 60 pages of worked solutions, multiply that by 8 and that's 480 pages!.

hmmm upon enrolling at Usyd for the science(adv maths)/commerce degree program I found that you don't really get to choose specifically what you want to do and instead are required to do compulsory units. e.g. since in first year I'm mainly doing the science degree, you can only choose 12...

lol, but were u happy with the course you were doing whilst at Usyd?

I'm just curious to know the reasons why people go to UNSW. Is it because the cut-offs for some of their courses are higher than Usyd, hence ppl perceive it to be a better course? I spent countless hours tossing up between the two, and I chose UNSW initially, but changed my mind upon visiting...

ok maybe I shouldn't have made that statement, sorry, I take it back, hence the reason why i edited my previous post :D I got a little carried away. btw I'm half-taiwanese and have many chiense friends so I have nothing against asians. I don't believe I'm being biased in terms of the...

Is there any particular reason you wanted to go to UNSW all along?

What course are u studying there?

ok, from what I've read about and learnt if you aren't really sure about what you want to do (but have an idea of the general field you want to be in), then you should go to USyd, because it is much more flexible and as the years progress you begin to specialise as you become more aware of what...

yeah, everything is so expensive in sydney. I think even if you live off-campus it is still going to be expensive per week. I got friends going to newcastle uni who are only spending about $180 per week, and are living in a college. Hopefully all the money spent is worth it, which I'm sure...

I'm david, nice to meet you as well. I got sent a wesley info pack, and they've raised the student club fees from $225 - $275. I don't see the point of the student club fees as you are also paying for the sydney union club fees, so you're getting double-charged. hmm I never read anything...
