Bsc or Bsc (adv) ? (1 Viewer)

[velox]

Yeh but sci is pretty flexible as it is, so that doesn't really come into play. Plus i want to transfer out.....

There are flexibility issues between the two, such as UNSW making GenEds compulsory, and second majors harder etc.

Templar, aero means you get KC Wong in later years. Have fun with that.

In that case, back to mech (biomed). Or even just science.

 

[nit]

just go to usyd if you don't make unsw med...BSc(Adv) is a good, flexible, worthwhile degree as a lead-in to med. It fits nicely with med.

 

[velox]

Yeh....suppose, but im not planning on sticking around for gmp unless i have to.

 

[nit]

Haha, impatient as they all are

Yes, security feels nice. But in the end it doesn't matter. Oh well.

 

[velox]

so im guessing ssp gets scaled more than just advanced courses?

 

[nit]

Yeh that's what I thought about the med place security thing, which influenced my move back to UNSW. But then I realised that you need to sacrifice things to get where you want to, and I was prepared to put lose the security to pursue research as well to become the doctor I wanted to be.

Btw why are you interested in SSP so much? It's just a little extension to the adv courses. SSP doesn't get special scaling afaik. But you get bonus marks through maths SSP, and Chem SSP has a better prac marking scheme. In general, most of the top people are in SSP so it doesn't really need the scaling for its students to excel.

Yeh, with ur adv sci that opens up more avenues for research, however it'd make a big difference if i feel that i actually have a place, rather than working very hard for 3 yrs to try to attain that place. Its all personal pref i suppose.


Edit: Because i was reading up on it, and didnt find that much info on it so i was curious. Plus the usyd science site is down for me.
