[braindrainedAsh]

We got our UAC guides today!!!!!

Let the decision making begin......

 

[Huy]

ours came in today
but they werent distributed

(grr)

going to get them tomorrow

 

[*~Dazed~*]

what UAC guides already? dont they come out AFTER we put in our preferences so that they can put in the expected uai cut offs? hmmmmm no this has now officially scared me

 

[bex]

erm how are you meant to put in preferences without full descriptions of the courses? When UAC publish uai cut offs in their book, they are the cut offs from LAST years HSC and are a guide to what could be expected in this years HSC. Then you put in your preferences, and after the hsc is all over and you have your UAI'S they send out university offers and on the same day publish the UAI cut offs for your year. After those cut offs are released students can choose whether or not they want to accept their first offer or go into the 2nd, late or the final round of offers.

one q's....i'm looking at p97 Sydney Uni where 512095 is B science/B arts or Bscience(advanced)/B Arts and the cut off is 86.05...
but technically B Science(advanced) 512041 alone is 96.15...can someone explain why?

more High UAI ppl want to do B Sc (Adv) rather than combining it with B A.

 

[White Rabbit]

Minai.. you loking at changing courses? LOL, why do you need to UAC guide?

(sorry if that sounded rude.. )

 

[Minai]

Yeah...I wanna try for Law...or at least Commerce, but i'll decide whether to take those offers if I get them after I do my second semester subjects (to see whether I hate econometrics/statistics, lol)

nah losty, the UAC guide doesn't actually 'predict' the estimated UAI cut-offs for you guys. It merely tells youse what the cut-offs were for the 2003 intake (i.e 2002 high school graduates).


... (fuck man your nick is so confusing) : B science (advanced) is not the same as B science. the little 'advanced' makes it a whole heap harder to get into. cos it's, uhh, advanced.

..? Aren't you already doing commerice minai..?

and oops, bex already answered your question losty

but read pg77, course 512095, strangely it reads...

B Science/B Arts or B Science(advacned)/B Arts or B Science(advanced maths)/B Arts

so i'm wondering, why would the course mark be the same when u can chose either science or science(advanced)

I'm doing a Bachelor of Economics rite now...difference is that I have to do some compulsory econometrics/statistics which I wont like...so I'm still deciding whether to do Commerce and major in accounting instead

In practice, the cut-off is not actually the same, and the cut-off for the advanced program applies instead.

Whilst you might be accepted into the BSc(Adv)/BA program, you wouldn't be allowed to enrol in any subjects at the advanced level unless (1) you had a UAI equal to or greater than the advanced cut-off or (2) you performed particularly well in a related HSC course.

 

[Newbie]

i'm a bit confused...from the paragraph, u mean the 86.80 uai applies for the Bscience(adv)/B arts? rather than Bscience alone?? so the Bscience/B arts have a lower uai cut off then?

i'm confused by the second part...u said if i got accepted into BSC(Adv)/BA, i can't enroll an advanced level?? but u just said i got accepted into BSC(adv)...

sorry, i am a bit stubborn

LOL Melbournian, I don't think even NSW newsagencies have them yet Schools are still handing them out, so you'll prolly have to wait till August when they go on sale to get it.
