Just wondering how hard it is to transfer into law at USYD? What sort of GPA would you be expected to have? Also, what kinds of marks would that require?

u need 96 UAI at least and a gpa of 6+

mitsui · 29 Mar 2008, 3:36 PM

96 and a 6+ is not enough at all.

I am interested in knowing if anyone has managed to get into USYD LAW by transfer this year?
I heard they didn't take in any students this year. Dammit.

what's the gpa scale that you are talking about? isnt gpa meant to be on a scale of 0-4?

In America, yes. Most Australian universities use a scale where
0 = Fail (I think)
3 = Conceded Pass
4 = Pass
5 = Credit
6 = Distinction
7 = High Distinction

I heard they take heaps of transfer students, which is one of the reasons the cut off is so ridiculously high.
What's the process with a law transfer anyhow? Do you apply through UAC?

mitsui · 31 Mar 2008, 11:05 PM

Yes. it goes thru UAC.

usyd took in a reasonably number of students last year.. I am dying to know the figure for this year. =)

I was talking to one of the guys from the law office at USYD, and he said you require 98 and above. Even 98.5 +.

jb2007 · 1 Apr 2008, 12:09 AM

damn, I have no hope then

I might try there in a few years....

I transferred from a combined law degree (UWS) to a Usyd's grad law once i finished my non-law degree component. My UAI was 94.25 my GPA was 6.00.

mitsui · 9 Apr 2008, 2:21 PM

Hi demandred.

When you transferred to USYD, do u get any credit for your law subjects? Can u still finish the degree in 5 yrs? =)

Thanks

maka · 10 Apr 2008, 7:36 PM

Entry to the grad program means that the degree last 3 years.

So that is 3 yrs for your first degree PLUS 3 yrs for the grad entry USYD Law degree.

kjmason · 28 Apr 2008, 12:18 PM

Hey guys,

So I got a UAI of 98.70 last year, doing Comm/Arts this year at USyd.

What GPA should I be aiming for to transfer into Law?

I keep hearing the whole, '96UAI and Distinction average' stuff. Does this mean I can get away with a high credit average, because uni is harrd at the moment

CurlyRuby · 21 Jul 2008, 12:36 PM

I got the same UAI as you, and the guy at the info day told me I could get away with a high credit average. Does anyone know when we have to apply through UAC for transfers?

EDIT: Just found it- early August.
