What are my chances

That would only be six subjects where you need eight for your GPA to be calculated.

Your GPA (approx of sticky info)

Pass = 4

Fail = 0

Credit = 5

Distinction = 6

(3 x 4 + 0 + 5 + 6 )/6 = 3.83

According to the pdf. in the sticky this equals an entrance equivalent of 79. This would pull your UAI down to 85ish if it was counted. This will not help you.

I'm not how it works - my way of working it out may be way off. This is my estimate.

I don't know if your UAI will get you in. It might but its likely it will not, especially if its a popular course.

Honestly you are just pushing it too far. You didn't get in. You are trying all these ways to weedle yourself in but you have to accept that you didn't do well enough to reach the cut off. I don't really agree with people using special consideration, I could have done it, a lot of people could have but I didn't because I wanted to do a course that I achieved the privilege to enter. If you cannot study under tough circumstances then you are going to have trouble later on, because uni isn't that easy.

You might be lucky and get offered a spot. But get over and stop asking these ridiculous questions when people have already answered you a million times.

Yep, I totally agree with Andi0390. Stop quoting yourself, it's lame. Really, most of the answers are in the stickies. Just read it.

Fine, thanks for your attempts to answer my questions that have been answered one million times

Why bother if you can't even answer the question?

Not that any one else cares...

But they did make a mistake in my last semesters results.

Just to confirm it:

4 PASSES
1 DISTINCTION (so far)
2 HIGH DISTINCTION

UAI= 91.95 (including bonus points for EAS)

Am eligible for Special Consideration, Special admissions etc.

Anything else I can do?

AIMING FOR: Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Arts @ Sydney University 2010 (with credits)

This means a great deal to me and I do strongly feel that I have earnt the privilage to enter this course with credits next year. Your assistnace is immensely appreciated!

B.Com/B.Arts....

Brad, in all honesty if your raw UAI (excl. bonus points etc) is ~85ish, then you should be looking at your priorities and where you would be willing to alter your plans a little.

Forget the double degree for the moment if you're intent on USYD/UNSW as your GPA plus UAI wont be enough to get you into the 98~ B.Com/B.Arts double degrees.

In my opinion, you have two realistic options here:

1. Look elsewhere if you're intent on doing the double degree (UTS/UWS/UOW/UNCLE etc); or
2. Focus on applying for the B.Com or B.Arts single degree, and then if you do well enough once in UNSW/USYD, then look at transferring across to the double degree.

Honestly, your attempts to slide yourself into the double degree, considering your UAI and current GPA, are a bit unrealistic. Look at other options.

There is no such thing as an unrealistic goal- anything is possible if you put our mind to it. Commerce/Arts is NOT 98.00 it is 94.30 and the NRSL cut-off at Sydney is 89.60 and 91.00 at UNSW. Also, my GPA of 5.00 is equivilent to a selection rank of 90. With Special Consideration at UNSW I can get a maximum of up to 5 points extra allowing my selection rank to be > 91 and hence getting offered a place.

I might not get in but by trying my very best what have I got to loose?

But I will part Arts at Sydney down as Number 2 anyway.

Why are you looking for advice if you are so sure of your situation?

What was the point of the thread?

Not for advice but for assistance as they might have extra information about my situation which I might not.
