    Re: Applying for MIT

    Harvard's SEAS is nowhere near comparable to MIT. Having interacted with students at both, if you want to do science/engineering, and don't mind working incredibly hard, go to MIT.

    Re: Engineering/Law

    Irrespective if you can't apply both every day in your job, you should do it if you have a strong interest in both. I know a ton of engineers who went on to do law in grad school, and they...
  4. Re: Would I be able to do my masters for commerce at Harvard with good grades?

    For graduate work, all they care about is grades + potential. So yeah, but funding for masters students is typically very limited, so company sponsorship is the best idea e.g. the RAAF sponsors some...

    Re: English Extension 2

    You need to make your story a literary exploration of something, not just a story you wanted to write. Find something to explore.

    Re: how to convert GPA

    If you're going by the percentage of people who achieve each of those levels, this is false. If you're going by the effort required to achieve each grade, this is also false. UNSW has a really good...
  7. Re: Thoughts on Exchange Uni's to the United States

    Miami should be your first choice. Then SFSU, then Cal State and finally SUNY.

    Re: Double degree V.S Singe degrees

    Your electives tend to be the specialised work that can help you get specific graduate jobs. I wouldn't consider them useless at all.

    Re: Career oppurtunities for bachelor of science?

    You aren't just limited to science focused careers - I know several people who are working for McKinsey, BCG etc. with B.S. degrees.
  10. Re: Do you get ranked in uni just like highschool?

    Varies from university to university. We get ranked, and it's used to determine academic honours, as only the top 5% get summa cum laude etc.

    Re: Bachelor of science

    Opportunities for Science grads are plentiful - you just have to be prepared to not get your ideal job straight after graduation. Everyone I know with a B.S. or a B.A. in a science subject is doing...
  13. Re: are you confident that you can get a job with your degree

    Considering I go to a liberal arts institution, and everyone I know who is graduating this year with a BA or a BS has a job/has an offer from a grad school, I really don't think anyone shouldn't be...

    Re: Any point to getting high marks?

    That doesn't really mean much. Just try and do well in your courses - with so few people, getting to know lecturers should be easy.

    Re: Any point to getting high marks?

    Go for Class 1 Honours. I really don't see where that degree will take you other than grad school, and even if you found alternatives, you'd want to keep that option open.

    Everyone I've seen with perfect or near-perfect GPAs get jobs without too much difficulty. Also, as long as you have some research experience, getting high grades lets you walk into any grad program...

    Re: Semester 1 timetables 2011

    Everything not in the Science, Engineering or Medicine faculty. Bad choice, buddy.

    USyd needs to sort out their timetable system asap. Why not do it how UNSW does it? Or have enrollment windows...

    Re: Air force & Uni at the same time?

    Not as an ADG, unless you take a gap year. If you become an ADF in reserves, you have an 11 month initial full time service period followed by 4 years part time service. Also, ADG's have higher...

    Re: How much will university cost YOU?

    About $220k all up without finaid.

    Getting 80k first year out is what happens when you do geology or mining and you negotiate a sweet deal. Unlikely to happen elsewhere frequently.
  22. Re: Doing Nanotechnology - Help with enrolling the right one. PLEASE?

    Chem 1031 is a joke - its ridiculously similar to regular chem, but gets scaled better.

    Phys is hard regardless of which one you choose, but again 1131 isn't too different from 1121.

    Math 1141...

    Re: PHYS1121 or PHYS1131?

    Do higher - content is almost identical, and you get scaled. And performance in HSC is in no way indicative of your performance in PHYS1121/1131. I barely scraped a Band 6 in HSC, and got 1 mark...
  24. Re: What uni courses lead to a career as a pilot?

    Army, Air Force and Navy all have pilot schemes. The alternative is a B.Sc. (Aviation) at UNSW (I think it's a B.Sc.). Or you go to a private flight school and go for your CPL, get rated and apply...
