USYD and UNSW law transfer 2016 (1 Viewer)

[Shizuka]

I also applied for UNSW combined law but no luck with that either (though that was expected since they take ATAR into account). So I'm transferring to commerce at USYD instead

If I were you I would accept the UTS offer, I read somewhere that nowadays UTS law graduates are doing just as well as USYD/UNSW law graduates.

That sucks guys. I managed to scrape in with an ATAR of 99.05 and WAM of 78.3 - but I was an internal transfer, so I don't know if they assess differently.

Congrats!

Was that for USYD or UNSW?

Would love to know where you read that if you still remember!

Why not study law at another uni? :l

Guys I didn't make it

I emailed USYD for the reason and this is what I got:

Due to high demand this year the process for transferring into the combined law program was particularly competitive. Successful candidates needed a high distinction average in their tertiary studies.

I noticed they changed the info a bit on their website as well:

Entry to Combined Law is competitive and experience suggests you will require an ATAR above 99 or a Tertiary Grade Point Average in the High Distinction range to be competitive to transfer into Combined Law. If you are a current Sydney student the weighted average mark (WAM) will be used. An ATAR above 99 or a WAM around 77 will be competitive.

So instead of distinction average you now need a high distinction average to be competitive, the 75 WAM has also been changed to 77 as well.

thats such bullshit.

i hope you get an offer in february.

im trying again next year, going to repeat a few units where i got low grades.
