I heard from the horses mouth (Law Dept) that generally a UAI of around 90 and a credit average (which at MQ works on a 4 point scale, so 3.0 is a credit average) would be highly competitive and BASICALLY assure entry! Like any course, depends on demand and supply, if not many takers for spots...
From what I hear, UTS is a tafe. LOL. That is the sum of my 'other uni hating'. Go MQ!!
No one cares about what uni you studied at, for those jobs, providing you are studying accounting, pass the selection criteria and interview well - you are in with a fighting chance. If I was hiring, the uni...
The law honours sounds pretty awesome! Why can't business do that! Congrats on the high first class honours - in ancient history? That is great news.
Um, predictions:
BBA 360: D (low)
PSY 235 Cr/D
PSY 245 Cr/D
Fingers crossed!
Interestingly,
Just a normal PC - can log in and out of Estudent 50 times in a minute. But can't access the main MQ page. Ah well, good luck and good night (or morning!)
Re: Results Discusssion - Results so far and predictions
Got in easily (first time ever)
BBA 315 D 82 (best uni mark ever)
BBA 340 D 80 - a surprise - it was an easy subject though
PSY 307 Cr 70 - happy with it but a little disappointed, 3 Ds would have been nice.
Thought I really bombed...
Re: Results Discusssion - Results so far and predictions
BBA 315 - Hopefully Distinction. 33.33/40 so far (83%)
BBA 340 - Hopefully Distinction. 34/40 so far (85%) but is a silly subject and marks depend on how the markers felt that day!
PSY 307 - hopefully high...
Hey everyone,
Just wondering if anyone on here is competing in this...I am and am having a fair bit of fun.
Just curious as to what people are going for in their trades.
Hey
I got a copy of my official academic transcript the other day (for an interview) and there is NO hsc marks/subjects on it. It only contains results etc of my 1st year subjects and the subjects I am doing this semester (and plan to do in second semester).
Hey there
You sound like me when I was in your position (finished 2005)
I was very into art and english at school, but also had an interest in business-type areas - a very weird combination - I guess the only thing that bothered me was science - really dislike it.
Now, I am in second year...
Go for your 2nd option (accept) BUT definitely keep mac commerce as first preference in late round (Id suggest uve got a fighting chance!). Maybe contact Economics and Finance division (commerce) and ask them wat your options are - can;t hurt. Good luck
Hello to all the new Macquarie students
To anyone studying psychology/linguistics/arts - you may get me as your mentor for orientation day. Unlucky. :)
Saying commerce is 'better' than Business Admin is not entirely fair. So obviously, i chose it over commerce - i want to move into business and management - not accounting, finance or marketing (a highly specific area). In my general arts degree (not) I have taken a diverse range of subjects...
Re: Public School vs. Private
This is very interesting and ive had many conversations with people at uni about it. I think placing too much emphasis on the teachers is not quite right - because in essence that argument leads to this idea:
'Good teachers, good resources > highly...
Hey mate
I can hook you up with the Stat 170 textbook - bought it new for first semester of 2006 - probably still current. Get back to me if interested
These ranks kind of depend on ur school/quality of your classmates
Example - me 2005 HSC
English Adv. 31/116 school ass.87, hsc mark 87 > final mark 87
English Ext 1. 28/56 school ass. 41/50, hsc mark 44/50 > final mark 43/50
English Ext. 2 9/18 school ass.=43/50, hsc mark 34/50 > final...
Hey everyone
2005-er here.
Did ok in art last year, well quite well actually.
I thought I ripped the exam and turns out i probably did. Anyways, just to let you know, that if you DO NOT get into art express do not despair. You can obtain 50/50 for your major work and not get nominated/in. The...
