Yeah, I went to Ruse, and obviously this guy did too :p Quite a few people here do have the wrong idea though I'd say about 10 people in the class of 2004 got a UAI of less than 90. However, that was an exception, and usually there is a largish tail at ruse because people fall behind...

Basically a bell curve then, at any rate we were talking about the amounts of HDs given out, so same deal. So now it's "a friend told me". UNSW has bands at the least (re: my other posts), meaning that they have the same amount of or a very similar amount of HDs and Ds handed out. This isn't...

One of my more pretentious lecturers actually said in a lecture that we should all submit our assignments to journals. That we'd nearly always get rejected, but the one or two students who can write publishable articles will be rewarded once they graduate with a few published articles to their name.

I see that you're taught the finer points of debate and argument at the University of Sydney too, excellent! Seriously though, that post didn't make sense :(. "That's why" is a qualifier, i.e.: a few people at the University of Sydney struggle with engaging in debate, that's why their results...

Please try to respond to their posts with constructive arguments. Try to post something sufficient.

The final mark at the end of the course is bell curved, idiot and there are a set amount of high distinctions, distinctions and credits that most law schools hand out. From memory, UNSW hands out quite alot of distinctions (about 15-20% and there is a thread about it somewhere around here)...

1. There were articles about John Kerry's hairstyle and tan when he was running in the U.S. There have been articles about the Bomber trying to lose weight, frequent carictatures of Howard's looks, articles about how Latham's youth appealed to female voters etc. Oh, and just as a retort to your...

Go8 universities generally have larger intakes and aren't regional so therefore have less people electing to practice outside of major cities.

The entire argument about perceived superiority is very high school. You're assuming that employers don't take in to account other factors such as previous work experience or performance in the interview. Because there are more Go8 graduates and because all Go8 universities are located in...

I did Specialist Asian Studies with law, which I suspect is quite similar to what you're planning on doing. I transferred out though, because I wasn't interested in taking the extra year overseas. The extra year bumped up my degree from 5 to 6 years (I'm not sure if that's the case with yours...

Men will envy my huge degree-penis, women will want it. What was that about a GPA of 6.3?

Uh, the Australian rankings seem pretty standard. G08 filling the top 9 positions, with MAQu bumping Adelaide out of the top 8. I think that the Shanghai rankings are always amusing though, because the top 100 are basically all American universities + Cambridge and Oxford. Also, all of these...

Haha, the stock standard response :). Pay particular attention to the contact hours that you'll have at either university, since both science and engineering are fairly brutal in that department.

Mrs. Cherry, unfortunately I am one who has never had the constitution for Dickens. It must also be said, that whilst Mr Dickens' prose is dreary, Mrs Austen's critique of 19th century paradigms is neither insightful nor intelligent. In fact, if I may be so bold, I would say that her writing is...

Then that's all you need to know my dear :(. Now, less BoS, more study and you'll get your damned national undergraduate scholarship :).

I'm a Pamphletmason.

The lowest I know got a UAI of 99.1. However, I do know a guy who got a Queensland OP band of 2, which is the equivelant of 97 and the university didn't even bother to look at his application. So, I can't say for sure whether you'll need to get 99 or above, but I can say that you'll need to get...

I love the girls that feign interest to be "polite" (thus leading the guy on) and then bitch to their friends about the "creepy guy" that they can't seem to shake.

Believe it or not, I love the UNSW campus. It's like a mini city, since all the buildings are clustered together and are so huge. It doesn't have much grass, but it's got enough to sit around on. I love studying there when I'm in Sydney. The ANU campus can be a pain in the arse, it's so big that...

And after building an awesome med-school, they are building a MASSIVE medical research building. ANU will be awesome for med in about 5 or 6 years I think. Maybe when i finish my law degree.... :p Contacts ;)
