I mean, I could always go grad law, but this looked like a more enticing option...

any thoughts? ]]> General - University of Sydney sikhman http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=229180 Scholarships! http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=228319&goto=newpost Thu, 12 Nov 2009 12:13:17 GMT Hey guys,

I'm was in year 12 this year and heard from someone that he got a call from the Scholarships office to be interviewed for a scholarship. I applied for one as well and really wanted one, I was hoping if people here who got scholarships when they were in year 12 could tell me what they know about the whole process.

ie How many do they give out? Over how long do they give out the interviews? Should I be worried if I haven't gotten a call by now :S ?

Also, what exactly do they ask in the interviews?

Thanks guys! ]]> General - University of Sydney Ragib http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=228319 junior unit of study http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=228232&goto=newpost Thu, 12 Nov 2009 04:04:00 GMT i was just wondering if you have to do the junior units of study in the first year,or can it be any year?? i was just wondering if you have to do the junior units of study in the first year,or can it be any year?? ]]> General - University of Sydney les coccinelles http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=228232 Casual Student Card Officers http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=228113&goto=newpost Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:43:55 GMT Hey There was a job add for casual card officers do you think they you have a chance of getting the job if you have NO customer experience?
