Frigid, my UAI is 98.25, i really want to get into unsw or usyd com/law. I do have ACCESS, however following past trends its unlikely i will still get in. So, for transfer, would a D average and 98.25 get me in?

Furthermore, do you think it would be smarter to get into com/law with full fee for first year, then transfer to hecs, OR, to get into commerce then tranfer into com/law

read first post and do the maths dear. rough estimate of the NRSL needed is 96.xx.

[cr05]

I am now planning on doing full fee at usyd for com/law, which had a uai of 96.75 in 2004. By how much do you think this will increase. I would have felt completely safe with 98.25 as it would have to jump 1.5 UAI points for me to then not be accepted. However, with the introduction in 2005 of the FEE-HELP scheme, do you think such a large jump is that implausible?

hey guys, I have got a UAI of only 67.6, but if i got 4.63 GPA (include one fail unit), will i be able to transfer into a relatively low course in unsw, uts or usyd after my 1st year?

hey, need some straightening out.

i'm applying for B Economics at uSyd with a uai slightly under the 2004 cutoff but as i'm a EAS applicant, i feel i have a reasonable chance of landing the course.

my desired course is B Comm. would i be able to transfer to it with a credit average? or would i need to be distinction average?

i'm not sure if i'll be successful even if i'm averaging distinction as my uai was not even enough for B Economics to begin with.

help help help ....

Well, it all depends how far away from the Commerce cut off you'll be in 2006, where the further away your UAI is, the better your 1st year results have to be. I'm guessing a distinction average will make you safer, as there really is no way to judge NRSL cutoffs unless you talk to the right people and find out

hey everyone.. I got 98.2 and wanted to know what are my chances of transferring to unsw combined law after the first year..and if i have a chance what marks would i need... thanks in advance

[Jack_11]

Can you only transfer if people are leaving/dropping the course? Or do unis make more places for the extra intake in 2nd year?

[Lexicographer]

No extra places are created, the number of places depends entirely on how many people withdraw or take a leave of absence (since their space will be opened and they'll take a place in the following cohort).

But people ALWAYS drop out of EVERY course - there is no course with 100% retention.

you'll need a distintion average (GPA of at 6.0) to be assured of a transfer
anything less and its risky

It seems no one in UNSW (admission people wise) seems to have a CLUE WTF is the NRSL.

Spoke to the admissions, they tried to pass it off as the UAI, and wouldn't let it out, that such NRSL existed.

Spoke to the associate dean of the fce department, he looked at me, like I was on crack or something, he trully had no clue wtf I was on about.

Spoke to a pile of admission people for fce, they had no clue about it, trying to again pass the UAI off as NRSL.

Now I ask, WHOM IS THE RIGHT PERSON, so I can ring them and basically SCREAM AT THEM, FOR BEING (*NEARLY) IMPOSSIBLE HARD TO FIND

but of course ace... there is no such index known as Non-Recent School Leaver (NRSL) Index. it is simply a term that me and the other transferees use to state 'the average of one's UAI and first-year results (using the conversion table)', expressed as a number out of 100.

then how come MACQ admissions know about it (not referring to grizzly, but rather the macquarie forums)

perhaps they use the term for convenience as well.. what i'm saying is, it isn't an 'official' term, like UAI or GPA. we simply call it NRSL because that's what transferees are - Non-Recent School Leavers.

Yeah, when I speak about it. I don't go, what's the NRSL rank. I try and get the term Non-recent school leaver out first, before they go UAI UAI, no no no, UAI UAI only, type crap.

On a side note, you've got an obsession with the size=1 text size.
