hahah well I dropped 2u maths for general and I still sigh with relief and happiness everytime I walk into class... I know it doesn't seem like a good decision for someone hoping to get into law, but maths is definately not my strong suit and general is so stress-free

if i wrote a letter to my legal studies teacher explaining to her about something in an envelope.. she reads it etc..can a person such as the deputy principal or principal read this letter??..or is there a privacy law which restricts this?..
Er, well I'm not sure about laws regarding that, but probably if you just told your legal teacher that you didn't want anyone else to read it or know about the content they would respect that (unless he/she is an idiot, or the letter contains something like.. life-threatening, then they'd have to tell someone I think)

USyd will be PERFECT.
Do you think so? Personally, I'd rather go to UTS :D Which is what I'm trying for. My dream degree would be Law/International Studies *drools*


Oh and random comment, you know what annoys me?! those people who go into law who have no interest in it whatsoever and then end up using their law degree for something else/not at all

i want to go into Law as well. I'm aiming for the 95.5 commerce law degree @ macquarie. i'm aiming there, but if i get lower than 95.5, i'll probably settle with commerce somewhere.

btw: i dropped chemistry, because it was my only failing subject = 48% prelim course final mark.

I want to do law so badly that I will transfer or do what ever it takes. I am hoping to get into UWS...but I dont know...I am really interested in the law...and someway some how I am going to...

Good attitude. If you do get into UWS, you will love it. All those invitations to go and see judges speak before students...some even cover the content in the assignment!

The UAI at the moment for UWS Law is 90 for Parramatta Campus (Cut-offs may vary from campus to campus).

Law is very interesting.

I'd love to law at USYD, hence the signature. But, in all reality, I don't think I could afford it.

It's ridiculously expensive at USYD as all the Sydney college kids get their daddy's to flip out a few pennies for legal text books, accomodation, beer, wigs, beer and certain $10,000 legal experience costs

The law is great man! lol

I enjoy it. It teaches you to take a side that you wouldn't be prepared to take as the average person because the morals and ethics of law can be different at times. ahh the wonderful world of positivism....
