Thanks for the advice. So if I don't need a GPA in the HD range, what would I need? The USYD website states: "Experience suggests you will require an ATAR above 99 or a Tertiary Grade Point Average in the High Distinction range to be competitive to transfer into Combined Law. If you are a...

Hi there, I'm currently going into my 2nd year of a media and comm degree at USYD. I applied for transfer into law at USYD but I was unsuccessful. However, I applied for UTS law and was successful. I accepted the offer, but haven't enrolled (yet). I was wondering, should I stay at USYD and...

Hi there, I'm going into my second year of media and communications at Sydney University. I'm a third year uni student, but I transferred from arts to media after my first year. I tried applying for law transfer this year but unfortunately my application was unsuccessful despite having a 77...

SHORE is a pretty good school, too.

According to USYD, you need an ATAR of 99 or a WAM above 77 to be competitive. They'll either assess you on your ATAR + WAM, or only WAM, whichever is higher. However, it usually depends on how competitive the applicants are, so the cutoff varies every year. Best of luck!

I got a 67 WAM last year and got an offer for USYD Commerce. I was an internal applicant, though, so I don't know if it makes a difference.

Neither is smarter than the other. They both excelled in their respective subjects.

Didn't do well either. 60. I agree with you - we should be able to see the marking rubric to know where we went wrong. Oh well. Good luck next year, I hope you get in. :)

Is tutoring for the LAT recommended? I know that UNSW highly suggests against coaching, but what do people generally think?

Hi there, I'm currently enrolled in media and communications at Sydney University, as I find an interest in media production and foreign languages. However, I recently grew an interest in business, in particular, finance. The problem is I'm bad at math. I dropped general math in year...

Bump!

I'm currently enrolled in media and communications at Sydney. I was initially enrolled in arts in 2015, but applied for transfer for both media & communications and commerce. I received the media and communications offer first, and thus accepted the offer and enrolled. However, I recently got...

Hi Jane, You can do an Arts/Law degree at USYD, with a major in Psychology! There are three main ways you can study psych at USYD: through an arts degree, a science degree, or a psych degree. USYD also has a strong focus on international law, so this will also benefit you.

This thread is really helpful. I'm currently an arts student at Sydney. I planned to transfer to law next year. However, considering how I'm going this semester, I don't think I'll be able to. Sometimes, I question if law is even right for me - I got an ATAR of 90 and the cut-off for law is...

When can I apply for transfers next year (not semester)?

It was actually worth 2 marks.

I received an assignment back today. My tutor failed me (48) because I failed to use footnotes while referencing. I did use in-text referencing for parts I used from other sources. She said it was a structural fail (meaning had I used footnotes, I would have passed). I'm a first year uni student...

I'm currently studying arts at Sydney University, but I plan to transfer to Law. However, I've heard that transferring into Law is very competitive at Sydney (as well as UNSW), and I basically have no chance since I was way off the cut-off (90.25 ATAR). So, what are my chances of transferring...

I'm confused - how exactly am I supposed to make notes? I have lectures, lecturers adding more points, tutorials, readings from both the textbook and course reader. How do I make effective notes? And are notes only for exams or for assessments as well?

Would it be a stupid move to change my units now considering were already in week 2 (from tomorrow) and that I need to catch up?
