    What did you think of the UPC?

    Hence the thread bump :)

    What did you think of the UPC?

    54 views, noone have experience with UPC? I thought they always had full classes.

    What did you think of the UPC?

    I've decided which degree I want to get into and as I'm now classified as a mature aged student (23) and only completed year 10, I'll be enrolling into the University Preparation Course given by USYD next year. According to what degree I hope to get into I need to enroll in Mathematics & Science...

    How can I better prepare myself for such a competitive degree?

    Anyone have experience with the UPC offered at Uni of Syd? To be considered in the degree I'm after I'd only have to attend every Sat (9am - 1pm) for UPC Science and every Mon (6pm-8pm) from March - September. But if I chose to do the TPC at TAFE I think it'll be a lot more class time and it...

    How can I better prepare myself for such a competitive degree?

    That's what I'm hoping for - next year I'll be doing the Tertiary Preparation Course which prepares mature aged students or non-recent school leavers for university. I'm not 100% whether they'll start at basic knowledge and then go into the more advanced stuff or not but I'd much prefer it if...

    How can I better prepare myself for such a competitive degree?

    Well it is a medical degree so of course its going to be very very hard ;) Can't say I'd put in 5-6 years of my life and ~$10k+ per year and not make it my number one priority though, kind of why I'm glad I didn't go to uni at 18yo because I would've done something I don't think I'd enjoy as...

    How can I better prepare myself for such a competitive degree?

    Thanks for the reply :D And yes it was the latter. I wasn't sure there was a year 10 refresher course, will look into it now - I see where you're coming from too, I attempted my HSC previously (maybe 2 years ago) but dropped it as I couldn't handle the work load and was still not 100% what I...

    How can I better prepare myself for such a competitive degree?

    Thanks for the reply! Seems like a okay idea, though prices and scheduling seem a bit crazy. Each is 7 days, once a year (from what I could see), 9am - 5pm and $350 plus text books but may be what I need to be up to/surpass HSC levels. Any other ideas?

    How can I better prepare myself for such a competitive degree?

    I left school after I received my Year 10 Cert. and am now 23 years old - basically left (big mistake) because I didn't know what I wanted to do so just worked. Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity of learning what I wish I had which was the basics of Chemistry, Biology, Physics and...

    HSC & Student ID etc ..

    But how do I find out both, who do I contact and basically ask what numbers are under my name?

    HSC & Student ID etc ..

    Last year I did my HSC at TAFE (one class) while this year I'm doing one more I'm trying to make sure everything is in line as I think they've given me 2 student numbers. How do I get all the information to make sure everything in is line as far as student/HSC numbers go? I'm currently doing my...

    If I don't make the cut off ..

    I'm 21 now so technically I'd already be a mature aged student but I wanted to goto Uni with my HSC :) The Uni I'd contacted recommended I try get work experience or work in general with a Veterinarian, they'd also take into account family involvement (eg; if your dad is a Vet etc) however that...

    If I don't make the cut off ..

    Next year I'll be aiming to enrol in Vet. Science or Zoology however at this point I think my goal is Vet. Science - what will be the best option if I don't make the cut offs for Vet. Science, where should I go from there? I believe they'll be asking for a ~96 UAI I'm working on getting in as...
