Twas a good question, but since I only had 35 min I had to compromise HEAPS on talking about Frontline eppies to get to my supp texts. Then it all fell apart horribly at the end with an incoherent conclusion. "Be Alert- Not Inert!!" What was I thinking?!?!?! :confused:

Very messy, but... 12,11,10 ...JUST FINISHED!!!

Nah, if you at least showed somewhere that you recognised it was a speech and OCCASIONALLY used some colloquialisms here and there, it shouldn't matter how you ended. On the whole I thought it was a fairly reasonable and open-ended question. I got a bit freaked out when I needed a second...

It's a highly ludicrous theoretical question, that doesn't matter.

Hmm, no replies. This tells me 1 of 2 possible things: - Not many are applying (or at least from this place...) OR - Everyone is studying quite appropriately for the UAI required, which is what I should be doing. Which reminds me... :-O

Ok, they WILL perceive an outside frame of reference to contract assuming it too is in an inertial frame of reference. However, it will also experience time dilation, meaning that it will appear to take longer to get there. As a result, the two cancel out and the net rate will still be the same.

I'm afraid not. The mass does not get consumed slower for occupants' frame of reference as has already been stated. An external observer will see the fuel be consumed slower ONLY because the ship will also be going slower as perceived by them.

Ok, I need a show of hands here. Who's interest in VetSci at the one and only Usyd? Because there's only 70 HECS places of which only 45 are available to us school leavers!!! Then there's like 25 or something full fee entry places, (which will probably increase...bastard government...) So...

t-i-m-m-y, i just realised i got the same mark as you but accidently put up the wrong percentile. I got the same as you...65... my second and third sections saved me big time....

Here are my percentiles: Section1 : 60 (dang...) Section2 : 94 Section3 : 87 I got an interview...so what about the other ppl who got interviews? What are your marks like? Frigid? Saul?

Yeah but my point is that what they might do is eliminate say 100-200 interviewees on the basis of poor interview performance, just like they cut lotsa people out of the 3000 who applied for UNSW through UMAT. You also must remember that there'll be second round offers for interviews to those...

Is this interview a matter of pass or fail like UMAT was? Like, say I did awesome in UMAT, but stuff up the interview (such that it places me in the bottom half) and yet I kill the HSC and get 99-100 UAI... :cool: will the interview CULL people altogether? or will they be able to make amends...

UGH!! *unsubscribes to post after getting flooded with reply notifications*

yes I know. My point was that it isn't MANDATORY to get involved in 1001 different things, as it won't help in terms of knowledge, but the experience and confidence it entails would be beneficial. *sigh* i'm wasted on you people. :rolleyes:

The obvious one is heat losses to the air and to the beaker (essentially one point), but the one people tend to forget is that in practical conditions, soot and carbon monoxide form, denoting insufficient oxygen supply... However, the exact value will tend to be different for the reason that...

No that's a tad exaggerated.... They don't ask you about extra-curricular activities in the interview, as I'm soon to verify, but they will ask you about your personal life in great depth. If you're nothing but a total study freak with no ability to speak articulately and form coherent...

The idea behind Twin's paradox is that the person who shoots off into space is actually undergoing various accelerations (eg. speeding up to near-light speeds, undergoing centripetal acceleration on turning back, etc.) Therefore, he's in a NON-INERTIAL frame of reference. Thus, relative to...

Hey I know this has been discussed time and time again, but could I just have a confirmation on interview questions: Can they or are they likely to ask us about major world events/current issues/medical stuffs? I'm getting mixed answers from people, but the general consensus seems that they...

I got an interview and so did one other person from my school as far as I know ... (out of about 10 that sat UMAT i think) But yeah, there could be late offers, so don't worry ppl.

I can proudly say I've not read Shipping News!! God I've got my trials in 2 days and I don't even have another related text! arg RTFG suckles...especially Heaney. They keep telling us not to simplify things down to local-good global-bad but it's generally hard to separate em if you ask me!
