BSc(Advanced) Cutoff (1 Viewer)

[garry007]

Hi guyz...do u think the cutoff for this year will increase(im thinking it probably will)? Also, wat do u think the cut-off with EAS will be?? Thanks....

 

[lukebennett]

well the uni guy thinks ill be safe with 97 but dont know if he is right (he thought the cut off may go down). he said there are more science places and more demand but its hard to say whether the demand is from ver top people or people around 95 or 96.

 

[garry007]

ic...and would you say there is a greater demand for medical science or a greater demand for bsc(advanced) as a pathway to graduate med?

 

[lukebennett]

id say med sci definately. i was told (and i thought) it was a total misconception that you needed to do med sci. adv sci is a better rounded way of preparing for med and its fall backs are better.

i want to do grad med and med sci can e shaped into med sci like degree if you want but you arent locked into anything

I don't get what the big deal is with studying a BSc(adv), you can just do a BSc, study all your subjects at the advanced level and get whatever average you would need to stay in adv and then at the end they award you a BSc(adv) anyway.

I just missed out on bloody advance science at USYD. Got a UAI of 95.30. The UAI cut- off will most likely increase. Probably end up doing it at UNSW.

yeh like I said before
Many people get into med sci and adv sci with uai's under the cut-off
97 will get you into adv science for sure.

'advanced' just sounds better I guess.....

-_- essetnailly there are NO difference...

in fact there ARE no difference, aprt form the extra 04 they print on ur student card...

Essentially, it's marketing.

 

[Slidey]

haha. advanced science just got frisbee'd.

 

[Bob.J]

ah rats
hehee
better go tell all those people who chose Adv Sci instead of Med sci to go back to their original choice

 

[Bob.J]

i think htey made the adv course coz none of the smart people would do science at all if they only had B.Science.
Prob all be commerce students heh

 

[lukebennett]

i just like the idea of adv sci cause it is flexible and will keep me on my toes a bit. but yeah it is just a BSc. i can make it like a medsc any way so..............

Advance science allows you to do more subjects than the normal BSc.

i doubt it... subjects open to adv sci is open to sci students...

Hey, Xiao. You're class of 2003 right? What course are you studying again? Anyhoo, don't the adv sci courses have certain mimimum requirements, eg a band 6 in the relevant HSC science course. Speaking of which, anyone doing the TSP in physics for 2005? I didn't meet the criteria for entrance (UAI > 99) but I might call usyd tomorrow and ask anyway.

Ciao!

i don't remember the criteria but getting into adv courses wasnt hard for some.
My friend got 93.15 UAI and he managed to enrol into adv sci and did all the adv subjects
I think 95UAi+ band 5 plus in all subjects could get you into the adv subjects (for adv sci that is)

also for TSP physics
i know someone else that got uai 96 with a mark of 93 for physics and he got special permission to do tsp
if you got over 90 in physics then you'll be able to do tsp. Or if you got over uai 98

Are you sure?

If that's true I guess it's worth firing off an email about TSP Maths >: )
