The 9 Preferences (2 Viewers)

[Persephone87]

All I like at the moment is
1. BA Liberal Studies (int) @ USYD
2. BA Advanced Arts @ USYD
3. BA Arts @ USYD
4. BA Arts (Europe) @ ANU
5. BA Arts/Law @ ANU

Probably will major in one of these areas: Politics, English or History (Maybe Philosophy)

I want to be a diplomat.

What's with all the arts/law preferences? What about Commerce/Law?

 

[truly-in-bliss]

just a note for those who are thinking of transfering from arts to law.... it's really hard unless u have a pretty good uai that is similar to the cutoff for law.

 

[Sarzzabelle]

All courses at ANU to do with asian studies and commerce.. and perhaps arts. And courses at UC regarding banking and finance. I can't wait til we get to put them in and I wish it would hurry up!

Quick question: If youre a full fee paying student, do you still have to get a certain mark to be eligible, or could you pay full fees and do your desired course with a UAI of <30?

 

[truly-in-bliss]

with full fee paying courses they still have a uai cutoff tat is similar to the HECS cutoff. most courses give aobut 2- 4 pts concession for full fee paying students. so if u get an uai of < 30, there are no uni courses that are of that uai, even if u want to pay the full fee

 

[neo o]

1. Arts/Law UNSW
2. Media and Comm/Law UTS
3. Public Comm/Law UTS
4. Business/Law UTS
4. Arts/Law MAQ
5. Arts USYD
6. Not Sure
7. Not Sure
8. Not Sure
9. Not Sure

Is it possible to just do law by itself? Is there any need to do a combined degree?

 

[neo o]

yes, you can.

And damnit don't those 4 or so marks make all the difference

A family friend just one the lottery, $200000. Guess i if dont get the marks for law i can go beg her for money.

Yes, UTS offer it as a single degree with about a UAI of 97

 

[Sarah168]

Ok I've sort of managed to brainstorm and pull out a few course but they are in a mumble jumbled order

arts/law ANU

arts USYD


liberal studies USYD (I dont really like this course but I have to fill 9 spaces somehow)

arts/law MQ (i know people think MQ is awful for Law but I'd prefer to do Law at MQ than plain arts at USYD)

maybe a journalism course and some international relations thingo at ANU

I need to do more research and at least get the names of the courses correct. Most of the course lie in the early to mid 90's

97.5 actually, which is pointless because it also has one or two of it's combined degrees at the same cutoff :/. Like since it doesn't take up to many extra hours i'd combine it with something im not THAT interested in...just because i might as well heh

 

[withoutaface]

I'll just decide on a random combination of science and engineering courses.

 

[mishka]

I wanna do primary teaching but I'm not quite sure what my preferences will end up being... I'm going to a few Open Days to check them all out, but so far I've got:
1. BEd (Primary) ACU Strathfield
2. BEd " UWS Bankstown
3. BEd " USyd
4. BEd " UWS Penrith
5. BEd " UOW
6. BEd (Middle Schooling) CSU (bit far away but!!)

That's all so far!!! I can't wait till we get our guides!!!

 

[Xayma]

I'll just put combinations of Science and Engineering courses, doubt I will fill in all of them for VTAC though.

 

[|Axis_]

I hope u guys find what's important to u and do it in the end. Making my choices, to me, was like a defining point in my life - it's difficult to decide between what u like, money, employment prospects, parents' choice, etc etc..

i remember there was so much emphasis around me about how commerce was 'the thing to do' - it was like what the high UAI people were supposed to do.. commerce never did it for me, though. I mean, it never sparked that sense of excitement or curiosity in me like maths, science and engineering.

i remember telling my friend how i felt some weeks before the uni offers came out, and he quoted "do what you like, and you will never work a day in your life".

i declined my commerce/science offer for engineering/science. it's an area i have a passion for.

 

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

was going to do Actuarial studies/Law at MQ

but i think even with VTAC u may.. especiallyin med since rural bonded are separate places on vtac form.. and they hav B Pharm/BComm @ monash.. applying to many pref will boarden ure options.. in case things dun come out favourable.

 

[dark`secrets]
