Hey, can anyone tell me if suppose I was doing an engineering degree and chose both discrete maths and stats(both 3cp subs, and the degree gives you an option between the two), giving a total of 27cp's, whether both of these would be counted towards my GPA and WAM, or just the best one.

Hmm, well if it means a higher percentage of maths in my final mark, it can only be a good thing:)

Oh man, stats sucked.
That's different to what winston said:p
EDIT: And I'm also interested in doing a probability unit in 2nd year because I loved 4u probability

nah it's not that bad. It gets much better in 2nd year. The 1st year lecturer for the advanced course wasn't impressive at all. That's why so many ppl are scared away. Hopefully they'll have an interesting one this time

I think 3 majors are the max you can do, and you probably need to be in a combined degree for that.

I am not sure about the bio/chem side of things. For stats, I reckon you should try out the semster 1 course and see if you like it. I had an awful 1st year stats course as well. But my 2nd year lecturers were absolutely fabulous (unfortunately both of them are retiring). The materials are really interesting too, especially the advanced class. It moves away from the boring data analysis bit, and focus more on mathematical rigor. And you get a lot more individual attention as well, since there are less than 20 ppl in the advanced class.

One year ago I only intended to do one 2nd year stats course and one more in 3rd year. But now I am going to do a full major in stats. There is a national shortage of statisticians, the biotech sector needs ppl to analyse the massive amount of data, but very few ppl can do the job right now. So there is high demand in there.
