I'd say mid 90's...96 if I was to have a stab at it. You've put your predicted marks into SAM haven't you?

Is the interview used to remove people from the short-list, or are the short-listed people assured of a scholarship, as long as they get the 95 UAI or whatever it is?

I got a call, and so did Tintin...note the same 3 letters as my username (coincidence??). Apparently we have interviews. I didn't speak to the lady in person - she got the answering machine, so I need to arrange a time soon.

Oh yes, forgot about those $5k thingies for 99.95 or 100 UAI. *Dreams for a second*

Yeh to become a qualified actuary you need to past 3 stages (well 2 really - the 3rd is optional, but rewarding financially if you do it) and this involves becoming accepted by the Institute of Austrlian Actuaries or something like that. Even if you do Actuarial Studies you won't pass those...

Yeh, I got one of those faculty of science calls too. I didn't realise there would be interviews associated with the procedure. Does this mean that we're automatically discounted for those usyd all-round scholarships or not?

Ok, in terms of different viewpoints, the major ones are Eyre(1998 BBC), Brook 1970 i think, Kosintsev (1971 or 1970). The modern context has shaped those filmic interpretations. They are easiest to obtain, and to watch. There are obviously essays to get into apart from that, and AC Bradley's is...

Yeh that USYD course is my first preference. BSc/BA/MBBS sounds like a fair bit of work, and a lot of degrees at the same time. That is pretty doubtful, I think, because you normally get the arts component done in 2nd/3rd year right? I don't know, maybe something like science/arts then MBBS. If...

Medicine. If not, then actuarial :)

I'd like to say Sydney Grammar, but there is no way that will happen. JRAHS owns any school in this respect. But we should be up there as usual.

Dr Grip myself...he's chunky :p

This one was pretty short - u prove logx =< x-1 Then you prove that log(np1 + np2 +...+npn)=<0, where p1 + p2 +...+pn=1 Finally you prove the AM GM with x1 + x2 +... +xn=s using the previous part. Not more than half to three-quarters of a page. Yeh, there are way to many ways to prove AM...

PHB has easiest accessibility in terms of info, and being similar to polypropylene, you can ake properties and uses up if in trouble.

well depending on what you want to do, LHS RHS might be all you need. But yeh, I went into the exam with that proof for the n=3 case, just to be on the safe side, and an AMGM proof that started with logx=<x-1, again just for safety, and rather useless in our exam as it was.

It depends on a lot of things. Firstly, on how you study - if you're a consistent worker/ leave it mainly for the last minute (esp with chem and physics, thats how i did them given the heavy memorisation required...in fact I covered 4 new topics 3 days before my phys exam :) ), and on what...

Ok, then that may have been it. But I couldn't really see a way around that, given there was a question asking us about what other uni courses we'd placed as a preference.

Yeh, Fitz, what exactly are you looking for? I want to know what the resaon would've been, so that it might help in other applications and interviews.

Yeh same...I had good ranks in all subjects, go to an "elite" school as grimreaper says. As for extra-curriculars, I do my fair share, but not very many - I prefer the academic side of things, even though I do sport, play the violin etc etc...I'm not entirely sure wtf they were looking for. Then...

Actually, you needed strong induction for our (SGS) trial this year, though we were taught it in the lead-up...can't remember the question exactly but it had a 7/4 in the inequality. Yeh, I don't think it was required for HSC, but it's probably a good thing to know and practise.

Hmm why are med and its associated fields always called "the dark side". A friend of mine graduating from UNSW med at the end of this year also calls it that :)
