Transfer to BIT (1 Viewer)

[lil_star]

Hi

People...i got admitted in BscIT with a UAI of 94+.....at the end of 1st year is it possible to gain admission to BIT scholarship?

 

[Beaky]

I was talking to Des....

chances are very very slim im afraid

 

[lil_star]

thanks beaky,...but slim means is it still possible?

Usually not, places are only usually available to recent school leavers. If people drop out, then there sponsorship company is usually used for the next year's BIT students.

 

[sukiyaki]

so its impossible if i wanna transfer from another university?

 

[copious]

highly unlikely, jase pretty much summed it up.

 

[quesera_sera]

there are so many odds

first you've got to be high on their reserve list
you can't really "transfer" your way into the reserve list
secondly you gotta wait for someone to drop out

chances are as slim as that elyse chick on america's next top model

 

[fatmuscle]

after you hear the BITs complain how crap work is, you won't want to transfer
the money isn't worth it.

 

[Beaky]

hahahaha or you could just try out next year...

if u want it that bad

to tell u da truth.. da b bus b comp degree... would be much much more advtangoues...and promiosing to employers....

having a business degree in an IT environment is what i beleive to be.... as good as da scholarship but even for mroe potential....

da BITs get there shit served on a silver platter.... so who knows....

I would of thougt in a few years time (maybe now?) all the IT grads without decent work will be holding a Grad cert or master of Bus/Com. So it might be wise to specialise

true memo.....B Bus/B comp seems for people who just want a ''bit'' of IT but BscIT or BIT is for people who want more of IT and if wanted you can still take an elective in business/accounting or some other subject......but yeah i do plan after i finish my 1st degree I'd take up a part time degree in business.....and by the time i finish ie in 2007 I hope the demand for IT professionals in high again *fingers crossed*

you can get into b IT
just repeat year 12, just repeat one subject
hence your a recent school leaver
and your set if u pass the interview
=)

 

[lil_star]

jeez....i think interview wud be a major hurrdle as i wasnt into extra curricular stuff.......so i thought if 1st yr uni if i take part in various things if it was possible to get into BIT :s

 

[Tia]

part of things like what?
if i were a kid and entered uni and saw bright yellow shirts spelling N*E*R*D i'd be freaked, i'm glad im old now....
sorry high on diet pepsi....

 

[elizabethy]

well said Tia ,

 

[tactic]

hahahaha

 

[lil_star]

kk....Tia...firstly i dont get what you mean....and i dont want you to elaborate anyway, as your post seems quite irrelavant to the question i asked.....

secondly, my degree is more or less the same as BIT at uts ...ie bscit does have a years work experience ......but id say there was no harm in applying for BIT even tho i thought and was advised that the chances of getting in were slim due to my lack of participation in the extracurricular activities....im just enquiring here *if transfer was possible*

btw i know people who applied for B accounting scholarship at UTS...who had literally NO extracurricular activities as part of school life...and the result...they FAILED the interview....good luck to those people,,..

therefore no crap comments/spam is required in the thread i made or just **** off

I personally prefer the back of the yellow shirts where is says "Work IT". I'm tempted to wear my last year's yellow shirt to camp instead .
