1) Census Date for most uni for Sem 1 is 31 March
2) Yep, payment is due on the 31st of March, and you can withdraw before then.
3) You go to the ATO (in person at one of their branches) for a Certificate of Application. It's effectively a form that states you're waiting on a TFN to come in...
Make sure you enrol. You can enrol in the course you got and then withdraw if you get your actual wanted course in the Late/Final rounds.
If you don't enrol in the current course, and then miss out on the Late/Final rounds, you'll be kicking yourself.
Accept whatever you've got so you don't get nothing. Then reshuffle your prefs for the Late Round. If you get in on the Late Round then withdraw from your UTS and take up the course you actually wanted.
On the off-hand that that fails, you can always do what you want to do in Uni when selecting...
For the most part you will have to go to Labs. It's more of a practical class where you do things/experiments/etc. related to what you've been studying in your course.
Accept the offer, change your preferences a little, and then if you get your Late Round offer you can simply withdraw from the USyd course you've been offered.
If you decline this offer, and then luck hits you and you don't get a Late Round offer, you'll be kicking yourself.
Also, don't...
Basically what Rafy said. You defer the payment of your student amenities fee until you get in decent-paying employment. If you have the ~$200 bucks it costs per year, pay it imo.
I think it's easier to get a higher WAM in Science as opposed to Arts as the answer's always black and white in Science, as opposed to what can be shades of grey in an Arts course.
It all depends on how you learn and what you like.
What people are saying (Usyd arts > UNSW arts) is correct, however extrapolating on that, the reason why the cut-off is lower is simply because they need to fill up the course, and if the cut-off was higher (90>), less people would apply and hence there would be less people taking the course...
I think the way it was was that they weren't courses that required formal timetabling for the exam, etc. Hence it was just a "hey it's on this date, come and do it".
Not this early, exam dates usually are revealed in the syllabus for the courses you're taking.
In any case I'd say it's highly likely you'll have something around that time.
So if you've got a few breaks in between Lectures/Tutes/Labs, what do you do to make up the time?
I mean obviously during a lunch break you eat but what if you have another break, etc. What do you do to waste time?
