That's not what we were talking about but sure ok.

Of course not, that's because banks generally require a D-average for them to even look at your application. Your rejection had nothing to do with your uni, it was because you got 55 which would preclude you from *most* employers let alone investment banks. But even still your example is...

Nah.. most of the banks don't even host recruitment/info sessions at anything but UNSW/USYD or Macq. That's a pretty fair indication of their preferences. Macquarie are known to interview relatively higher volumes for first-round interviews because they cull lots of people using a 1-1...

Those numbers sound a bit warped. Applicants for any one drive are probably < 1000, I'd guess closer to 500-600. Between grads, tranees and lateral hires they'd be taking at least a hundred people a year. Otherwise, EY is an exception, probably because they've lost comparatively more...

Heheh serem still passionate about spreading the good news :)

UTS is a much, much easier uni, but some elite employers (i.e. IB's) may overlook you unless your CV is astounding

foadiaf

Actually I would say you are the one that missed the point. Within the context of commerce forums I would presume that 'career success', as you admit, would be a better measure of how 'fail' a degree is. Commerce is a relatively modern discipline and I'd assume that by design it...

At university you can essentially learn straight from textbooks and updated industry articles. I could very easily learn everything in my uni course without actually attending uni - and save a lot of money at that too. But that's not the point. Maybe once upon a time things were different -...

No need to worry about that decision. Just ensure you do all the pre-reqs and get the required marks (as to keep your options open). In your standard 3-year commerce degree try to get a penul. internship and/or graduate job. If you fail then pursue honours, become more competitive and...

My impression is that Studentleader is displaying his arrogance (or perhaps frustration?) on the count that he is studying a Bachelor of Computer and Mathematical Sciences (Pure Mathematics). I'd just point out that so far my 'fail' three-year commerce degree has allowed me to: * Enjoy...

From my personal network I perceive MQ to be relatively hard and UTS relatively easy. This is based mostly on accounting coursework so this could differ for other faculties. That said within any Commerce/Business degree, I know in UNSW at least degrees can be much easier or harder...

Re: which uni is best? I'll accept its difficult to establish causality - maybe employers aren't discriminating - perhaps the reason these patterns exist is because high achievers choose to study in G8 unis in the first place? I doubt many people are concerned with postgraduate research...

Re: which uni is best? Maybe if you're applying to Accountants R Us... Anyone who wants to maximize their chances and options would be doing themselves a disservice by avoiding a G8 university.

if you want betterrecognition what matters most is that you do honors for you degree (and point out on ur CV that you did 4 years with research). 3 year degrees overseas don't look that sharp regardless of where they are from because degrees are longer in the US and UK.

They are the best we have to choose from anyway ...

they're comparable, use other criteria to decide

Anyone who says otherwise is silly.

I personally wouldn't pass the finance co-op for anything ... flexibility in two career paths isnt useful when you'll be taking one ... I met some finance co-op kids who have worked in M&A, research AND trading and are still graduating a year before most of their 5-year degree peers...

As opposed to those unis that don't fail students who do badly?
