course selection process at uni (1 Viewer)

[conics2008]

hey, just wonderin..

is it just me or is there any one out there confused about what to do at uni.

I've been looking at some degrees but they are soo in brief..

how do you decide which course you want to do at uni, because im really confused about this. UAI is not a worry, just the course.

Also one more thing.. wtf is the " fee " charge by those bastards UAC.. I got the UAC pin shit.... I never agreed on the 22 bucks fees.. can some one clarify.


Thanks in advance =]

You pick a degree. And then you do the compulsory subjects and the subjects you need to do to complete your major. And then you get electives which you do purely out of interest.

...i think

That's really something you have to ask yourself and make your own choice.

If you like Maths and Business , perhaps a combined program in Commerce and Science( majoring in Maths) would be something worthwhile for you to look into.

or perhaps Actuarial Studies .

How about 'USING UP YOUR UAI'? Is it just simply beware of which courses you choose in order not to use up all the preferences? Or 'you shouldn't choose two courses with too similar a UAI cut-off'?

You have nine preferences. It shouldn't matter which order your preferences are in, as long as they are in the order which you want to receive them, and that you have at least one 'safety' preference.
DO NOT choose courses simply because you have the UAI for them. That is plain stupid. Instead, choose courses that you are generally interested in.
In regards to similarity in cutoffs, you shouldnt worry about it too much. As long as there is at least one 'safety' in there, you should be ok.
