UAC Applications are now OPEN. (2 Viewers)

[wannabesurgeon]

I'm pressing quit. I assume they'd let us change it after we submit the application, but I'm going to err on the side of caution, just in case.

EDIT: Also playing it safe, Decided to quit it too until UAC fixes this issue.

Guess I'll be seeing you around then, I cannot wait for next year. Not a hardcopy or anything but got a digital one with my offer, only accepted and sent though the forms yesterday so I assume I'll get more stuff throughout the year.

No doubt, just really want to get into Global Studies so i'm seeing which courses would be similar if I don't make it in

What are your guys opinions on applying for a completely new subject? There are 3 new courses in Communications at UTS, Communication (Digital and Social Media/Creative Writing/Cultural Studies) and i'm thinking about going for Cultural Studies

My girlfriend is currently doing the Writing and Cultural Studies branch of Communications and absolutely adores it to pieces. It's a fair bit of reading, and also quite a bit of writing too, but you touch on serious social issues in history like abortion and gender roles and you also get to take interesting points of view on things like 'skin' as a social being (my understanding of that was limited, but it sounded interesting when she was explaining it to me ). She wouldn't trade the degree for anything.

Yeah fair enough. If you are doing any business, finance, economics or maths subjects during your degree we'll probs be in the same stuff for a while. Definitely so keen for school to end and uni to start.

Yes you can, but only until say a week before the offers are released. Typically, the closing date for main round offers is the day AFTER Info Day.

You can change your preferences after atar comes out right?

Ah that's good to hear. It's been split into 3 areas this year according to the website, so hopefully I won't have to do as much writing if I get into the Cultural Studies pathway, and that's if I don't make it into Global Studies. Pretty reassuring to know at least somebody is really passionate about it hahaha

Is the most logical way to order your preferences by ATAR cut-off?

I am illiterate at this stuff.

Yes, the course with the highest cut off goes first.

Not if you prefer the uni with a lower cutoff.

hey @chronost should i do that to?

Not always. It's always dream course first because quite often you'll find unis accept people even when they don't make the cut off (Happened to a lot of my friends taking Law at Usyd/Unsw last year). Even if you miss it then they'll just go down the list of your preferences until you get to one which accepts you. So for that reason dream course 1st preference and then alternative plans next. It can go down from highest ATAR to lowest from there if you like, but really it's a "preference list" so it's what you prefer that comes first, not necessarily the highest ATAR.

Alright thanks for that

Worth a shot, you got nothing to lose, can always change later.

It's a "preference" so do it in the order of what you want most to least.
