what is the UAI that you require to get into the TSP?.....I heard last year that it was 98.8.....is it the same this year?

 

[CrashOveride]

i heard its 99.00 clean

 

[thaoroxy2001]

Crap!!...no fair....they went up?....perfect...just ..... P....E....R....F....E....C....T!!!

 

[CrashOveride]

Thats what i heard from Mr KeyPad
btw roxy, u dux mackellar?

 

[thaoroxy2001]

I think I am ... but i also hope that i'm not....coz it'll be great for me if I am....but a dux getting 98.85...compared to Manly dux (I don't know prob 99.95 or something) will be highly embarassing for my skool....anyway congrats for ur results Crashoveride.....r u dux?

 

[CrashOveride]

Thanks, congrats 2 u 2.
I went to Freshie and errr in theory i shud be the dux.
read my post in the cheats thread..or pm me to find out more..

 

[dingding]

do you have to apply for the TSP?

 

[thaoroxy2001]

no it's by invitation....if u applied to do any Science course (eg. Medical science) and actually get offered a place in the course

 

[acmilan]

Will everyone over the cut off be invited or just the exceptional ones? And also whats the difference in what you study...if i get into the TSP it will be for Information Technology.

 

[Xayma]

Umm the 99+ people got exceptional HSC results

You would have to contact them for the specifics of TSP for IT.

 

[acmilan]

Haha yeh i decided to contact them for specifics. In general:

Entry to the Talented Student Program is by invitation from the
Dean. Invitations to participate in the TSP are made each year for
that year. The following guidelines apply generally, although
Departments may have additional (and more stringent)
requirements for entry to the activities they offer in the program:
• to be considered for the program in their first year, students
should normally have a UAI (or equivalent) of 98.8 or higher
and a result in band 6 in at least one HSC science subject area
and/or a mark of 95 or better in HSC Mathematics Extension
2. The Dean may consider slight variations to these
requirements where a student has demonstrated exceptional
performance in scientific study (eg, at the level of
membership of a team which represents Australia in an
International Science or Mathematics Olympiad).
• to be considered for the program in their second and third
years, students should normally have WAMs 85 or over and a
high distinction grade in an appropriate Science subject area.
Intermediate level entry to TSP is available only to students
who have been enrolled full-time in units of study totaling at
least 48 credit points.
Students who feel that they satisfy these criteria, but who not
received an invitation to participate in the TSP that year, should
contact the Dean.

congrat on ur uai acmilian...

tho from wut i ahve seen tsp is hardly worth the effort... i heard from fwnds that u do a research for one sem, then a talk on ur research...

tho i thnk that's who sci would operate if u are a professional scientist=p

btw, i think keypad's wrong the uai cutoff should be 98.8 as per hand book...

 

[mr EaZy]

are the advanced courses similar to the tsp courses?

 

[withoutaface]

TSP is basically a do whatever you want to do kinda thing, while advanced still has structure to it.

 

[lukebennett]

i dont think i would bother even if my uai was high enough.

 

[xiao1985]

in fact, i am cosidering tsp in 2nd yr...

for all those thinkin science as their career goal should try it...

 

[acmilan]

If i get offered i might consider just giving it a try but if it seems too much id probably drop it instantly

 

[Templar]

Basically with TSP you use the program to suit you. It won't seem too much as you choose what you want to do and how much of it you want to do.

 

[Saul]

i only did it for one semester, but i fully liked it... if you have a genuine interest in science, it can offer so much than the regular first year shit.

the uai cutoff has gone up to 99, and to stay in you need an 80 average.

 

[xiao1985]

@saul: i thought u needed a HD average???
btw, plz dun insult the first bsci stuff ='( if that was true, then i was doin full crab for the past yr...

which is untrue aprt from stat + acct >=)
i knwo i nkow...

but yeh... i heard u dont' even have to do any thign if u dont' watn to ... but then, u'd just be wastin away the precious space which could be provided to ther pplz =S
