you're not dumb natstar! I wanted to transfer too but I didn't have enough time to do a personal statement so yeah that sort of fell through...oh wells UWS is fine. Transferring after the first year is possible provided you get good marks...then if it is a different uni you wish to transfer to...

I do BA (Comm) they haven't scrapped it entirely...they aren't offering it to new students but they are allowing students who started in 2003 like me to continue. To give you more info I'd need to know what campus your friend is at and what major they are studying. To continue study they would...

oh it's work...doesn't mean you can't enjoy the challenge but you've got to be willing to knuckle down and work if you want a good mark for the subject. Anyways if you've decided against it that's ok...hope you do well in your chosen subjects.

ok but whatever you decide be sure to document it in your journal, the fact you considered it. If you decide against it talk about why in your reflection statement...because that may be as important as explaining why you included it. You really have to explain why things were both included and...

ah well that sounds charming but yes....if you can get into the showcase with that anyone worrying about profanities should now be at ease :P remember to still take note of previous posts in this thread about context though hehe

no worries, here to help....putting it in your journal is a good idea...as long as you put it in your reflection statement as well as they might not read your journal. Actually a good thing to do is to reference specific journal entries in your reflection statement that show how you have...

well as long as swear words aren't just used as space filler or a way to get more words than it's ok. I mean if the swearing actually exists to help portray elements of character etc then I think it's ok to use them...I think only you the writer can decide within the context of your story/speech...

I don't know much about the specific degrees you mentioned but I can only advise you not to be worried about getting a degree from UWS because you think that it won't get you a job. I mean a degree is a degree and I don't think it makes much of a difference where you get it, and chances are if...

Well done!! you seem very pleased with yourself and rightly so of course...has anyone else heard back about their appeals to BOS? The wait with all these public holidays must be killing you guys...I'm so anxious for you, but we'll see how it goes. All the Best.

I wouldn't say anyone would think the UAI was "shit", though perhaps they may have been aspiring to get more. I don't think it's "all" about the work you put in either because the UAI is not really a true indication of your effort, and sure maybe some people who didn't get good marks didn't do...

I agree...posting in this thread may be the wrong place to voice your concerns about doing badly, or at least perhaps not as well as you hoped. It can't make those who really can't get into anything they want feel very good...it's like another kick in the guts reading a comment like that. Like I...

hehe I'd say it definitely doesn't matter... :D too much pressure having everyone look at and criticise your work, i'd be quite content with the good mark and praise, and no one to contradict it :p I'm sure it is fantastic and so worth the mark you got, so I certainly wouldn't be dissatisfied..

well that sounds impressive...so I guess I can see in a line or two how you scored such good marks...good on you! :D

Congrats, that's excellent...I'd be stoked too if that was me...I didn't do quite that well last year...but I was happy enough with 47 overall...I would have probably been jumping off the walls if I got 49...well done! ;)

Well at least you know the letter you'll get, my thought is if they knock your appeal back they will merely substitute the name...don't be torn I know it sucks but really don't let them kick you when you're down...if you think you deserved more than you most probably do...so just burn the...

ah their letter was all so helpful in its explanation, in that it of course gives none. I'm sure you did deserve more, a lot of people who I have spoken to who scored badly did, and then there was my brother who I think got an external mark of 15 or so...now that's way harsh...he didn't do a...

yeah thanks, I figured that out even though I was just a tad slow hehe :P You still have a really good GPA, but yes it is always good when they round up! :D;)

I think I've found how to request a transcript...there is some info at this link http://www.uws.edu.au/about/adminorg/academic/oar/info/centres/transcripts Costs $20 apparently...they probably won't tell me over the phone if it is a typo or not so I might order one of those. Thanks for...

I was thinking that everything might be ok since I noticed it wasn't an offical transcript too. In that case 81 was probably just a typo. Is our GPA supposed to be for this semester only or the whole year? If it's the whole year the fact that my GPA works out as 5.6 when counting the same...

really?? Did you get any sort of letter explaining why? If so what did it say? Don't be too upset over it though...:) I didn't think you'd get a reply so soon...
