U got a pretty high UAi for policing, isnt the cut off fairly low, one of my mates wanted to go into policing

 

[christ_ine]

The UAI cut-off this year for the B Pol was 65, down from 75. Ironically enough, the number of first year students in the course this year is 65.

 

[frog12986]

Yea my UAI was fairly high considering the cut off, however it was what I wanted to do.... there is no point placing effort in a course for the status etc

 

[zzangelzz]

Hey Frog thanks for that!!

LOL my UAI was 90 and I'm still doing Policing... so I totally agree, if you really wanna do the course then thats all that really counts

ahh, we got told more than 100 @ aas.... and it looked more then 65 then as well

I think maybe thats because people brang either family or friends with them so i guess it made it look as if lots of people were doing the course.

no, they counted us, we all had 2 put up our hand etc if we were doin the course and it was more than 100

 

[zzangelzz]

yeh, remember they said something about us being one of the largest groups to come through? I can't remember exactly how many people they said, but it was more than 65 ... i think?!?!!?

oh okay... i must've missed that part, i came late to the aas. Is it a good or bad thing if there are more people? do u reckon that are there any mature students?

what time is the orientation thing and once we get there where do we go? will it be just b of policing?

we're @ 10 til 11, then they have tours around the uni, e.g. library etc.... there were a few mature students....

whats everyones timetable like???

 

[christ_ine]

Ah, they must have increased the offers for the course. Last year they released a file about course numbers being offered in 2005 and they only had 65 for the B Pol.

Yeah, we started with over 100, give it a year and you'll be down to less than half. Shocking, but proven time and time again

 

[Korn]

What type of policing u guys looking at doing, cause i know u can specialise, like Federal Police, Militaty police, state police, etc

 

[zzangelzz]

why's that ? is the course really hardcore?

 

[Jonathan A]

Hey Frog thanks for that!!

Agreed. You could have always chosen an engineering or advanced science course to 'fit' your UAI, but after first year, you would be doing what most students do, transfer into policing from a range of universities.

 

[Korn]

Huh, i think u forgot to quote what ur replying to

 

[zzangelzz]

Opps :

Just wondering why there's such a high drop-out rate?

 

[Korn]

Could be cause theres not much money in it, and your not guarenteed to get into policing anyone once graduated. You still have to pass the entry requirements of police force

 

[zzangelzz]

But if you're really dedicated that shouldn't stop you...
