    Applying for Scholarships: Advice for Personal Statement?

    Show personality but don't bullshit. If you're going to try something different, don't use clichés. Ultimately, you have to sell your strengths and achievements. Do it in whichever way you think helps you do that the best. And keep it relevant, because of your word limit and because you don't...

    What happens if i withdraw all my subjects before census date?

    Not sure about your previous questions, but for this particular question, the answer is that the date to enrol in a new unit was 7 August. So if you withdraw from them and want to add them again later...it'd be too late.

    Successful flexible entry application to USYD's BA (Media and Communications)

    Yoddle, good question! Mmm, at this point, since you're set on which direction you want to take, your major points of concern should be how and where you can study about international relations best. (The year overseas at UTS is very tempting, but remember that you can do international exchange...

    Your experience and your passion for journalism already puts you at great advantage. However, one of the criteria to apply for flexible entry is that you're within the 5 point range of the ATAR cut-off. Having said that, it seems that the department is fairly flexible with how they judge your...

    Theatre Thread!

    This isn't entire relevant to pman's question, but I just found out that at the STC archive, they have a video recording of every STC play, which is pretty awesome I think. I gotta make a trip down there one of these days (it's free and open to anyone in the public) and watch some of the plays I...

    It'll definitely be up on the YAP facebook group. We'll be starting to plan for it, so there'll be more details soon-ish. Yes, it was very cool to sit next to Andrew Upton. He was really intelligent but really funny as well. There wasn't any diva attitude that you get from other writers...

    Ah, I see. Erskinville is actually easier to get to! Looking forward to it! Riverside Theatre in Parramatta recently produced part one of the play. I didn't actually get a chance to see it, so I settled for the TV show. And I'm glad I did. :) It's a shame you couldn't go, but I totally...

    Angels in America introduced me to Ben Shenkman, who was so vulnerable and adorable at the same time. I was so excited when he recently guest starred on Burn Notice, because he was able to bring a duality--underneath his character's boyish likeabibility was a danger that didn't lurk around, but...

    Journalism -which course is best?

    No worries. I was in a similar position last year, so I'm happy to help where I can. I definitely think you should pick an option that caters both to your various interests (in this case, critical writing and critical analysis) and opens up opportunities. USYD's BA (Media and Communications) is...
