Yes - turn them off. I think your parents should support you - it shows you're prepared to make a sacrifice in order to get ahead - it's called maturity. Oh yeah and also, if this guy will want me, I'll be living about 2KM from the uni ( heard too many bad things about living on campus, and...

Hello all I recently received my info pack about the sciences, as I am studying a Bachelor of Science at UNE. I came across the "core units" part in the end - does anyone know which of these ( or all ?! ) are compulsory for a B. Science ? I want to try and avoid as much maths as possible as...

Surely someone, anyone, must have an idea ?

Hi, I'm going to be doing a Bachelor of Science at UNE, and was wondering how many hours ( roughly ) I'd be looking at for actual uni class/lecture time ? Thanks

yep so I'll just have to wait and see now. Hopefully not many people will apply for two reasons 1) It's in Orange which is a hole and 2) This is the first year that Sydney Uni has had B. Science at Orange - What do you think ?

ok I gave them a call and they said that because they have vacancies and even though my UAI is below the cut off, there is still the possibility of me getting in.

Just wait a few hours after I ring the uni and post their reply.

I don't see why they wouldn't offer you a place if the course has vacancies if you are eligible for the course ( ie did the required subjects ), just read the UAC 2004 cut offs document, it says... "If you applied for a course marked with a V and you were not made an offer, your...

I realise this, but you're still not answering my question. I'll say it again... "what I asked was that if it has vacancies and I did the required subjects for the course do I have a good chance of getting in, even tho' my UAI is below the cut off ? And the course I'm going for isn't in a...

How can you say that without knowing what the demand is... with some courses the demand drops, and in some it increases and the UAI cut off follows accordingly. But I know if it reads V it's vacancies, how the hell else do you think I knew it had vacancies, what I asked was that if it has...

nah the coureses I'm looking at doing now wern't on my first round preferences. I'm going to have to rely on the second round Vacancies, so does anyone know if a course says "vacancies" if you have a good shot at getting in ?

Anyone ?

Do they tell you if you aren't eligible for the course ? ie don't do the required subjects ?

hmm ok I checked some and they're a couple points higher, but with the courses that are higher in the second round and STILL have vacancies - how does that work ? If they have places you would think it would drop. But basically, if there are places available and I do the required subjects...

DAMMIT, that sucks, as I don't have these courses on my current application. Thanks tho'

OK and assumed knowledge = pre-requisite ? Also, if your UAI is below the cut off for a course but it has vacancies ( assuming you did the required subjects ) do you have a good chance of getting selected ?

Does Vacancy mean that even if everyone had that course on their application ( either first or last ) the course won't be full still ? And they'll take anyone who applies and has done the required subjects ?

Why would it be higher if they have vacancies ? You'd think they'd lower it to fill the positions. Anyway I am short of the UAI cut offs but the courses have vacancies.

argh, too late for me now! Now I need to rely on my second round prefs to get in as I didn't select any of the courses I currently want to study ( or the place, same course ) due to a HUGE change of circumstance/perspective lately.

ahh excellent! so I'll still be up for selection in that course ? ( In Qld I was knocked back because of this, but in NSW I was always told if you "fullfill the requirements of the course" ( ie hand in all units, do assessments etc ) then you don't "fail" the course ) Also if a uni spot has...
