Hey Stazi, I mentioned this in another thread but it's been overlooked - do the univerisities look at how you have done overall in your first semester and second semester or they just want to know what is your overall GPA?

Your GPA is a measure of your overall marks over 1st and/or 2nd semester (if transferring after a year).

The only difference I gather is in the method of measuring, ie WAM vs GPA vs UAI + GPA/WAM.

GPA doesn't take individual marks into account, rather just the 'bands' which you get, whereas WAM takes individual marks over credit points (iirc).

 

[stazi]

and yes, most unis will want your UAI and GPA. A Non-recent school leaver rank is calculated based on 50% of your UAI and 50% of your GPA converted to a percentage (e.g. a distinction average [6.0GPA] is 96, or whatever].

D0oes anyone know where to get the list of places that sell the newspaper at 9pm

 

[stazi]

why wouldnt you just check online?

 

[stazi]

yeah, last year i was trying to find places, but most of them (i.e. gas stations) get them after 9 - from about 10pm, from memory
