Same and that's how I got down to commerce/adv maths at Usyd.

yeah actuarials is all macq is really good for. I agree I went to UNSW and about 60% were asians. I was going to do actuarials but decided against it, too many ppl doing it, plus Sydney which offers adv maths allows you to be an actuary anyway (even though they don't offer the course...

hmmm, says something about macquarie lol. Lots of ppl were at Syd and NSW (went to both)

maybe not lol. I only heard about the overcrowding problem with UNSW, I don't recall it being the case with Usyd. The reason I didn't go to Macquaire is because if you ever want to transfer and go to UNSW or USyd it is very hard, but if you go from UNSW or Usyd to macquarie it is much easier.

When is O-week at Usyd?

Yeah I reckon, did you go to the CLB lecture halls? they had the worst seats and the theatre hall was so un-modern.

But then the UAI sky-rockets in later rounds

Usyd looks like the best uni having visited the open days at UNSW and Usyd.

Nice example natstar lol

I don't know how ppl can keep to timetables, life isn't meant to be so rigid.

Nothing can measure academic ability anyway ( but I think that your UAI is what comes closest to it). The UAI is an attempt to show the overall academic performance of a student with respect to the rest of the state. Thats why uni's use it as a means of selecting students, as a guide to how...

There is no need to stress about the HSC in the hols

We had 50 students in year 12 in my school.

I did it for one subject (IPT) as the examination was in the afternoon, So I spent 4 hours before the exam doing useless study ( i hadn't prepared for it before hand) I thought I failed the exam but still got a HSC mark of 88 :)

UNSW has a very ugly interior too if you managed to see their lecture theatres. Both UNSW and Usyd have very similar courses of equal reputation, but I think that Sydney definitely has the better environment, which for me is very important. UNSW seems modern but inside it isn't. It is also...

you serious? you an practicallly get into anything with a UAI of 95+

folders for each topic are good enough

my school didn't run 4 unit but I still did it. In light of this thread I would say that english should be made compulsory but shouldn't have to count as part of the calculation of your UAI. I never liked english but having done the HSC I started to realise that all that analyzing...

lol, Knox really does get a lot of bagging out.

Yeah I think that's correct.
