    Specialities with best work/life balance?

    Good call mate. You'll have alot more information to base your decision on in a year and at least you'll have a Comm degree to fall back on then.

    American Wanting to Learn Australian Education System

    UNSW has always focused on seminars whereas Usyd has always had lectures + tutorials, no real changes there. The perception is that Usyd is more theoretical, but many people (myself included) prefer a theoretical style of teaching, so this is really a matter of personal preference. Either way...

    American Wanting to Learn Australian Education System

    What exactly are these nebulous institutional changes? This is almost as bad a mechanism of ranking law schools as ranking them by ATAR admission. It almost certainly reflects correlation and not causation e.g. Usyd Arts faculty has a better reputation, so more Arts/Law students will go to...

    American Wanting to Learn Australian Education System

    Basing law school choice on ATAR cut-offs *facepalm*. Both UNSW and Usyd's ATAR cut-offs for law are artificially high. They both allow way too many transfers and too few straight out of school, Usyd is somewhat correcting this by lowering the cut-off (doesn't actually reflect a change in...

    What is Econometrics like and is it useful?

    No problem, happy to help! Finance and econometrics is generally a pretty solid combo, finance and marketing isn't bad either. You'll need to do further research on whether marketing and econometrics go well together because I really can't tell you, maybe go visit one of the career advisers...

    What is Econometrics like and is it useful?

    I have only done ECMT1010, ECMT1020 and ECMT2110 (although I'll do a couple more econometrics units this year) but I may be able to help. Econometrics is basically the application of maths and statistics to economics, so obviously one of the more (if not the most) maths heavy Commerce majors...

    USYD combined law atar is lowered...

    Why would the LSAT somehow be a better measure of someone's ability to perform in law than the ATAR? The best way of measuring if you have the capacity/desire to study law is to actually study it. If you don't you can change degrees, there is no need for an LSAT. What actually needs to happen...

    Arts/Law or Commerce/Law at USYD?

    I think it's not nearly as competitive as MC but still very competitive.

    Arts/Law or Commerce/Law at USYD?

    There are many places that take people from all degrees where written and verbal communication skills would be valued. For example generalist Government grad programs, editor/journalist, public policy, media/communications etc, it's also a common degree for alot of politicians/diplomats...

    Arts/Law or Commerce/Law at USYD?

    It's useless because it doesn't directly lead to any professions. In order for Commerce to be useful you'd really want to major in accounting, finance or economics, and for the finance and economics you need to be really good to get the best jobs. Some people have made marketing work, however...

    Arts/Law or Commerce/Law at USYD?

    There is no right answer to this question, I know people doing Arts/Law who say they wish they'd done Comm/Law and I know people doing Comm/Law who wish they'd done Arts/Law. It will depend on you. Ceteris paribus Comm/Law obviously has better employment prospects, however if Arts/Law means you...

    What are some career opportunities for economic/science unsw?

    What was your first preference and what career path do you want? If you have good quantitative skills then in your science degree major in mathematics, statistics or computer science and you'll have pretty good career prospects. Either way, just keep your grades up first year in case you don't...

    Combined commerce thoughts?

    Comm(eco)/Science (statistics) is a good combination for economics-related positions (RBA, economics consulting like NERA etc). Although you'll need honours in eco for most of them, so in a sense the Science degree isn't worth it. Comm(finance major or even accounting/eco major) with Science...

    Do you need to be good at english to do law?

    If you mean english as in HSC English, then no. HSC English is a really terrible preparation for writing in university, it would honestly be better if you forgot everything you learned in it. If you mean english as in writing skills, then it is important. However, the ability to think and...

    USYD Strike

    I was making a joke. I've only been at the university for three weeks, I have no opinion one way or the other for the strike.
