UAC Offer: Arts / Law at Sydney Uni Internal Transfer Offer: Arts / Law at Melbourne Uni Huzzah.

I also got offered this, but after studying a year of Creative Arts, I may ask for an irregular offer of Arts / Law instead.

College scholarship. Otherwise that's about it - although Melbourne Uni does offer bursaries and loans for students if their financial situation is preventing them from achieving academically.

Untrue. I have word from UAC themselves that they convert marks from different institutions, because not all Universities use the same marking scheme. Whether or not "scaling" goes on between institutions that use the same marking scheme is a different matter. But there is definitely a...

Maybe so, Huratio. Maybe so. But that's only if Melbourne Uni rejects me :D

That's a pretty bloody incredible achievement for Ashley. And for Killara High as well, considering it's the first year that they've ever taught Aboriginal Studies. I am proud of my ex-school :)

Current Course: B Creative Arts at University of Melbourne 2005 UAI: 98.55 GPA: 7 WAM: 85 UAC Preference: B Arts / B Laws at University of Sydney Internal Transfer Preference: B Creative Arts / B Laws at University of Melbourne My GPA is deceptive, because University of...

For media, Melbourne sucks. I don't know about Monash. Essentially, B Media & Communications at Melbourne is an enhanced Arts degree with some more media theory and a bit of practical writing. That's it. If you really want a media degree which is going to get you somewhere in the industry, you...

Hmm. You do know that College Square is owned / operated by the YMCA? Do you know what the C stands for in the YMCA? Anyway, the religious aspects of college and College Square for that matter are completely overstated and designed to freak you out before you get there. You will have more...

No, they don't look at anything else except your UAI and first year results. No statement, no interview. Two criteria, equally weighted: UAI and first year results. To be really honest, I'd say you'd have to perform exceptionally well this semester to have a chance. I know of people with a...

Thanks :)

That's part of it, but that's not necessarily playing it well. By playing it well, you've gotta ensure that your concept is rock solid, that you engage with elements of critical theory and course requirements in a sophisticated manner, that your body of research is extensive and that both your...

Well, it depends on the subject, but it is generally the case at UniMelb that somewhere between 7%-12% of candidates in Arts subjects will be placed on an H1 for their final mark on the bell curve. Naturally, that makes it really competitive, especially because admission to Arts and Creative...

That's really odd, because I thought the same thing about postcolonialism after I handed in my major work. It would've been nice to have had something as complex and intellectually challenging to critically engage with. Oh, and Sweets' external mark was one of several surprises (at both ends...

This should help your predicament: Also, studying postmodernism at Uni across several disciplines has revealed to me that Year 12 students, especially in EE2, are very likely to misinterpret and butcher it. Few major works that I've read, including many in the Showcases, actually demonstrate...

Congratulations Kyroth, reading your post made me remember what EE2 was really about. This community was a particularly good place for all of us to bounce ideas off each other, and eventually commend each other on our major works. The pursuit of marks should have been secondary, and it's so easy...

Turns out my friend got a Certificate of Excellence too, making it two from two. Pretty alright for a non-selective Government school :)

Brightside's pretty much right: for darker colours, its just time. I once had black splotches on the back of my neck for about two weeks before they were completely gone :D You'd be able to reduce it with some alcohol swabs and scrubbing, but you'll only get so much off before your skin gets...

I was born in the desert I been down for years Jesus, come closer I think my time is near And I've traveled over Dry earth and floods Hell and high water To bring you my love Climbed over mountains Travelled the sea Cast down off heaven Cast down on my knees I've laid with the...
