I've been to both a public (non-selective) and private high school and just wanted to add that the school environment plays a bloody important role in how well someone does in the HSC. It's not an issue of laziness. I was average at both my public and private school, but if I had stayed at my...

I transferred into bus/law after one semester of doing business. They only used my GPA. But yeh...I also read somewhere that the internal transfer using your GPA only isn't going to be used anymore after this year. Therefore applications will be through uac using half GPA/UAI, which will...

I know for a fact that the advertised cutoffs at UTS are complete bullshit. One of my mates got into engineering with a UAI of 70, where the advertised cutoff was 85 - with no special consideration , etc, just applied through uac like everyone else. The fact that engineering courses are not that...

What sort of jobs do people with economics degrees actually go for? (someone enlighten me).

Worst unit ever. I failed almost every assessment, but still scraped a pass overall. It's not that hard though, just incredibly boring. Make sure you keep up with the homework - I fell behind and just gave up, so had to study my ass off for the final exam.

I was doing B. Bus last semester and transferred into bus/law this semester through the internal transfer crap (by getting above credit avg). The process took ages... almost 3 weeks, but finally it was finalised. What you can do is choose law subjects as your electives, and if you do transfer...

For anyone who has changed courses through the guaranteed internal course transfer scheme - how long did the whole process take? I'm worried they may make me wait until next year to start my new course, however this doesn't make sense - what about all those other 1st year students applying...

I was doing bus and comm in semester 1 (now transferred to bus/law). You need to do Accounting Reports and Decisions for the accounting major. You can't do intro to information sytems in semester one beacuse it's not part of the core choices. The units for semester one is usually: 1...

HI LARA! Long time no talk... Looks like you did well too, congrats! I hope they let me transfer! I really want to do law/marketing, I'm gonna call up the student centre today :)

I'm pretty fucken happy! 200046 Microeconomics 76 DISTINCTION 200101 Accounting Information for Managers 50 PASS 200184 Introduction to Business Law 66 CREDIT MG102A Management Foundations 89 HIGH DISTINCTION My GPA was 5.5, does that mean I can use that guranteed internal course...

I love this subject, why can't every subject have online open book quizes!? LOL I've already passed the subject with the quizes and the essay... does that mean I don't have to attempt the final exam? (just curious).

But I'll be double majoring with marketing. There's heaps of jobs in marketing (not as much as accounting or finance, but still lots...)

ok when I said I didn't want to do anything with maths, what I meant was anything that is based on mathematical ability (i.e accounting and finance). I know there is some maths in marketing, but most of the course has nothing to do with maths (by looking at the subjects for the marketing...

Serious? Fuck! That rules out economics then, anything with maths I refuse to do. Yeh ibus does sound very interesting, but at the same time useless in getting a job, which puts me off... I need something that is interesting and useful in getting a job, but isn't maths based! Dammit... I...

I really can't stand accounting. I've been to 3 lectures this semester and sleep in my tutes. It's just too boring! It's gonna look stupid on my record because I'm doing pretty good in my other subjects, but then I'm FAILING accounting. Stupid accounting...

ok so i just looked on my uni website and discovered there are more majors than I thought... There is a major in psych, tourism management and also operations management which looks interesting. I'll probably make a last-minute decision, which is how I ended up in a business degree in the...

Thanks for the ideas... I'm really leaning towards economics ATM, as I'm doing microeconomics now and finding it interesting and not too hard (it's still harder than management though). What are the pro's of a major in management? Everyone says that management is bullshit and won't help me...

I still don't know what double major to do. I'm doing marketing for sure, but I'm unsure of the other one. I've narrowed it down to either: 1) Management 2) Human resource management 3) International business 4) Economics 5) E-business Please don't suggest any maths based/hard majors...

I love how people doing shit courses (i.e science and arts degrees) at the so called 'better unis' bag out UWS students and tell us we're disadvantaged in the job market. I hope they realise getting a job after their degrees in related fields is extremely hard! Good luck finding a job, you can...

Any tips on part C?
