Re: BAcc 2008...
I accepted it =]]
But I also accepted PwC. That means I've got until the UAI comes out to make a final decision (as BAcc is contingent upon a UAI >95). I discussed this with the HR manager at PwC and she's totally cool with it.
Who else accepted?

Re: BAcc 2008...
I'm not going to go for the Co-op at UNSW. I would rather do the BAcc at UTS. Also, the Co-op is slightly harder to get into, UAI wise anyway. So if I get the 95 that I want, I'm definitely into BAcc but not definitely into the Co-op... therefore, no need to apply for Co-op!
Btw, the email i got from UTS saud that I'm guaranteed with a UAI of 95. It said that if I get slightly lower, my chances will still be "good" - what exactly does this mean. I reckon I'll get between 90 and 95, so just not sure about all of that. What did everyone have written in their email?

Re: BAcc 2008...
You'll be a certainty with a 95+, but going by history and my grade, you should still make it with a 90ish+ UAI...although that isn't 100% certain...im not sure exactly how it works, but people in my year have UAI's between 90-95.
Congrats to those who got in!...ill see some of you next year!
and for those who didn't...theres plenty of paths...BBus and BCom are also great courses!
Work hard, and you'll be fine!
Gluck with trials 08er's!

Re: BAcc 2008...
So who applied for the second round? I regretted not applying back in March so I decided to apply this time. Anyone else?

Re: BAcc 2008...
I'll be attending an interview this coming thursday in the afternoon. The biggest concern for me is that i'm genuinely interested in accounting, but i also feel quite the same about law. I was wondering if i could pursue both careers, like completing the Bacc then doing a post-graduate in law?

Re: BAcc 2008...
hmm it was ok i guess, the interviewers are nice, but i see through that now after a few rejections..
so its really hard to tell whether you did well or not based on the interviewers reactions... speaking to some aplicants beforehand, its ruthlessly competitive, everyones so nice, smart and does extracurricular stuff so it must be pretty hard to choose people out of us..
in terms of the interview itself, the questions were okay.. they dont really target the BAcc course itself, they like to ask about your interest in acconting as a career (the interviewers are workers for the sponsor firms). They asked me about a time when i dealt with someone on a 'sensitive' issue.. or something like that.. i bs a bit about people who couldnt speak english who wanted a refund at best n less (hopeless). That sorta caught me out.
overall it was okay, but it felt like all my other interviews, which ended up unsuccessful.. so ill just wait and see (not very long actually.. results come on 1st dec.)
and good luck summermagic im sure youll go fine
