    How do preferences work with UAC?

    Yes, that's more or less how it works. And it's up to you what order. Keep in mind (to answer your next question), if you get into a higher preference, you won't get an offer for another (unless you re-arrange the preferences in subsequent offer rounds, which you can do). I mean, if the...

    Best music to study too?

    Off topic somewhat... But have you seen the Youtube video that that Epic Rap Battles of History channel put up of them? Haha.

    Best music to study too?

    If anything (I often find it really distracting) I'll put on a Pink Floyd album that I can sort of just zone-out to or some Lana Del Rey (I like her but all her songs sound exactly the same so you can also just tune out if need be).

    Playing the piano

    I got up to grade 6 formally and quit, but I kept teaching myself up to grade 7. I still play cos I really like it And it was my choice to start but once I did I felt parental pressure to keep going haha.

    How would you list written references on a resume?

    Really? that's weird, everyone has always told me that you "need 2-3 referees listed". Oh well, suits me not to put them, hah.

    School Chaplaincy Program

    Nah they're just religiously trained, like they do an internship with their church or something. I don't really know how it works but they're certainly not trained social workers/counsellors/psychologists. IMO the program's a bit dodgy. I went to both Catholic and public schools and I think...

    Petition - ATAR Should Not Affect University Options

    Yeah I agree with this. I'm not from NSW and here English isn't compulsory (I did it anyway cos I needed it as a prereq.), but as long as you do a subject that requires some form of essay writing or written communication (so, stuff like economics, history, sociology, etc. are included) you get...

    How would you list written references on a resume?

    Hey, I'm looking at applying for some jobs, and I just remembered that when I finished grade 12 my school wrote a reference letter. The person who technically wrote the reference was one of my teachers, but I don't have any of her contact details like a phone number or email, only the letter...

    Most annoying book of all time

    The Catcher in the Rye. I'm sorry I just did not get what the fuss was all about. Back in my twelvie days (and I mean when I was 15) I pretended to like it because everyone else did (lol) but I didn't see any point to it. And the way he talks is soooo annoying.

    Sleep

    I usually go to bed at 11-11:30 then get up at 7 (or earlier if I have to), but it often takes me about an hour or more to fall asleep :(

    Dentistry or Medicine

    I didn't ever consider dentistry, because initially what I wanted to do was medical science (hoping to get into research) rather than be any sort of practitioner (it's not that I didn't want to, just that wasn't what I had in mind as the thing I wanted to do above everything else) But I ended...

    I don't do Chemistry for high school...can I still get into Medicine?

    As far as I know it won't be a problem for you in NSW. Keep in mind that some of the interstate uni's do have chemistry as a prerequisite, but it's nothing a bridging course shouldn't be able to cover. I would strongly recommend doing a bit of reading up about it though because the concepts...

    All Specialties in Medicine has been oversubscribed since last year!

    I'm not saying you're wrong, but something like this can't really be construed as "free advice" because essentially you have stated the fact that there's a problem and just rubbed it in everyone's faces ("have fun!") rather than offer constructive criticism about how to navigate poor job...

    The process by which DNA controls the production of polypeptides

    I know it sounds complicated when you first start it but there are SO many resources out there that explain it really well (including a 70s hippie interpretive dance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9dhO0iCLww ) Don't be put off by the terminology (at first I was like WTF is a ribosome) and if...

    How to become a doctor in medicine?

    Yes, definitely! In fact I think straight-out-of-school people are almost the minority in my year. You can do a year of something else (or two, or however many you want really) and transfer in. You'll still need to do the UMAT and everything, but like that you can get into an undergraduate...

    Essay Question Hamlet

    I actually did my grade 12 english essay on this exact topic. One important thing to look at is the fact that the play was written during the renaissance but set a few hundred years before that. So, the "expectations" society had of people were different in both those times. In medieval times...
