No, I don't think so. UAI always reflects the demand of the course from the canditature (source: careers adviser). More people want to get in = more competition = higher UAI. Plus UAI and Usyd DO offer flexible entry alternatives, e.g. bonus UAI scheme, transfers etc. So it can't be all prestige.

Wow, congrats to him! When and how did he find out? Phone, email, letter?

Actually, I was in that position last year. We had a sub who didn't bother to tell us it was over so I raised my hand. Everyone else looked as confused as me and if I didn't, I'm quite sure others would. Maybe it's just the culture of our school, we're like that.

And you, I suppose, represent the total canditatures' opinions? lol. w/e, sif I give a damn what you think about me.

No dumbass, you should have informed the examiners that they were going waayyy overtime. Didn't at least one person think to put up their hand and ask what the hell is going on? You know, I always defended you guys when people at my school slag you off for being nerds, geeks etc. But your...

That's so unfair!! An extra 15 mins! In that time, I could have corrected my mistake of plus/minus sign in my working and be in the running for 84/84!! Dammit!! Now I'm stuck with a 83/84 (max) and some James Ruses kid is gonna top Maths Extension 1 again because he got more time than me...

Also I think that the people who are still going on about other interpretations are in self-denial. The program's changed. My teacher marked Module B for last year's King Lear and she keeps on stressing that you don't need any other perspectives APART from your own. People who say different...

A personal voice just has to give a sense that this is what you really think and believe in. Obviously if you start spinning stuff on feminism and Marxism and using critical language that doesn't sound like your own, the markers won't believe that you thought about that yourself (unless you...

Actually, my teacher marked the King Lear essays for last year's HSC and she explicitly told my class that you don't need to include ANY other readings apart from your own interpretation. You address the dot point by giving a sense of your understanding that King Lear can be interpreted in...

Yeah, but how much are you guys going to spend on the readings? If you look at it, the past (recent) HSC questions don't even mention them at all! Is it necessary nowadays to include other readings?

Did you get an email offering you one then, vars? :)

I don't get it - will there be a 3rd round interview, where they interview and cut down more people, or is this basically it and you get the cadetship? I was under the impression that when they contact you on Wednesday, it will be an offer or not? What do you guys think?

Hey, has anyone heard from BNP Paribas yet?

What? Are you sure that all the positions for Westpac are gone because that would seem highly unfair to the applicants who haven't undergone an interview ... Also is it only the UBS people that have had their interviews? What type of questions did they ask? Thanks for your help!!

Hey emperor, thanks for sharing your story! It must not have been easy for you so I really appreciate your honesty. Well, like you mentioned, maybe it will work out for the best - the uk's got some pretty kickass unis out there and I'm envious of your opportunity to go there (they charge...

I'm just curious - why did so many people put down UBS as their preference?

Congrats everyone!! How many people get shortlisted btw (out of the people who attended an interview)? Also, did you guys get the companies you had a preference for?

Hey, you speak what you can. I'll speak what I want.

Argh! I share your anguish - no reply yet! Oh well, I'm bracing myself for the worst. Any offers for you guys out there?

20th June. I hope.
