transferring between unis (2 Viewers)

That's what i did ,too ^_^Merethrond said:Thanks Minai, thats what I was leaning toward, one year it is. One last question, a normal undergraduate degree is called a "Bachelors pass degree" isn't it? I hope so because that is what I put anyway
It's unknown...Lazarus got the Law cutoffs awhile ago (I dunno how), but UNSW never likes publicly releasing those cutoffs, and unfortuately, I think universities are exempt from the Freedom of Information ActGrizzly said:You wouldn't happen to know the same details for Commerce at NSW ?
but if it helps...the cutoff in 2004 was 96.00
my UAI was 95.25, and I got a Distinction average (GPA of 6.0) and successfully transferred into Commerce
had to apply through UAC
the commerce department has no internal transfers (in fact, UNSW hardly has any internal transfers for any program)
91 and credit ave wont cut the mustard, but if you manage a distinction average (GPA of 6.0) you'd have a pretty decent chanc

lol, thanks for the info miani...what about 91, Cr average, and eco at NSW ?
Mind you, at MQ, its,
P = 2.0
Cr = 3.0
D = 4.0
HD = 4.0
So mathamatically - its impossible for me to get a 4.0 if im already under it.. LOL

Can international student also allow to transfer between unis in the same course?

Grizzly - whoops, yeah I did B.Economics in 1st year and transferred to Commerce for this year (95.25 UAI and 6.0 GPA)
psych_girl - I'm sure they can, but the entry criteria etc are different than local students, and I don't know much about it

It's not your university's GPA system that matters (as the scores are all converted to a common standard) but your performance in each subject as a percentage (ie marked out of 100) - this is usually referred to as the Weighted Average Mark.Grizzly said:
The WAM is calculated by multiplying your mark in a subject by the number of credit points of that subject, adding the products of all subjects and dividing by the total number of credit points. In short this gives you your average mark out of 100 for all subjects, and is weighted to accomodate different subject loads (in the form of credit points). This assessment is used as a standard because just about all tertiary institutions issue a percentile mark (ie mark out of 100) as well as an academic award (HD, D etc). However, each university has their own system of determining the academic award: for example, at UTS an HD is anything worth 85% or more, but at UWA the HD is anything above 80%. So, a UTS student with a WAM of 83 will only have a distinction average but a UWA student with the same WAM will be considered a high distinction student.
Hmm... I've forgotten why I typed all that out. Guess it's time to get studying again!

If that were the case, then people from say UWA would be at an advantage because for them 60 is a credit and 80 is a high distinction.
If UAC says they use the GPA then I suspect they normalise (convert all marks) to their own scale.

which unis offer direct admission?
Unfortunately not. For UAC external transfers, the only way to get in via UAI alone is to not complete one academic year. ie if you only complete 1 semester, you'll be judged on UAI alone. But if you transfer after 1 year, it'll be UAI 50%/1st year 50%, so if your GPA is low, it will negatively affect your overall NRSL ranking. Having said that however, if you're way over the UAI cutoff with your UAI, it'd take a really bad first year to deny you the transferenemy said:

Yes, but which percentile marks serve as the cutoffs for GPA ranks? Is it the system common to UTS, UNSW and USyd whereMinai said:
P = 50
C = 65
D = 75
H = 85
