LOL, I don't know anyone applying for ACU either -- just you
I didn't go to the first one, mainly because then I had no idea what I wanted to do (one week it was nursing, the next it was the Air Force, jumping all over the place) But I'm pretty sure I've settled on Education (History/HSIE) -- Macquarie was my first choice because of their specialisation in Ancient History and Archaeology, so if I can transfer there, I would..
How bout you? you going to their advice day (Can't remember the date, but I'm pretty sure it's round here.. somewhere) and what kinda education are you going for? Primary, Secondary?
Anyway, might see ya at ACU

LOL white rabbit we can hook up.... i mean have a coffee at ACU *coughs
anyway yea i wanted to go to sydney or nsw but my marks r too shit i got 78.55 and the acu one is 74. u reckon ill get one im hoping it wont jump too high.
im gonna do secdonary maths and if i can get the marks get a transfer but its too early to say, i gotta check out acu and see what they got cant be that bad. as my mum said uni is uni dont worry bout the name.
the open day is on the 5th. shit thats close... my friend told me used to be ex high school or something
cro angel.. i think got better chance at acu then macq. i personally think macq uni is overrated. seemed very unprofessional. acu has the most practical component out of all unis so... guess gotta check it out

is the teacher any good?

i dont think making an assumption on the teachers abilities due to the uni he attended would be fair.

lol fair enuf let me rephrase the qs. did he say anything bout the uni?
I've applied for ACU as well for my third preference, but for primary education. I've already studied a year of uni doing arts, so i am hoping to transfer. I've heard alot of good things about it from teachers and students. Wish you guys all the best.

np scheah, even though i didnt really do anything.
best bet would be to ask teachers, if you can get in contact with them. some of them do have university degrees.

As for Mac, the only reason I really wanna go their is their field work. Sydney is the only other place I can do that, and would much prefer to be at Mac. Mind you, if I get to ACU and love the place, I'm not gonna transfer.
I think I'm prolly gonna do Arts there, bcoz the cut off for 2003 was 79.. I only got 78. So, unless I get lucky and UAI's drop, then I'll be doin Arts
Lets see how the prodie fits into the Catholic Uni
