    Commerce or economics? USYD or UNSW? - Need help with preferences

    Yes, the undergraduate books have to be short. I mean... they print thousands of them. All you need to know is in the Handbook but it'll only make real sense to you when you're a uni student because most of the terminology is foreign to you right now.

    Wanting to Drop 2 Subjects for Year 12

    Well, I know for my HSC at least - our Prelim and HSC work was disjoint. I felt that I could've jumped in to EX1 at the start of the HSC course and did fine... Though I wouldn't have a "year"'s worth of experience with EX1 style essays and writing, etc.

    Read the course outlines on the Handbooks. Why? Because they outline the subjects and requirements for your degree. For example, I recall hearing about Sydney Uni's old requirement to learn a language for a Pure Mathematics major - with the aim that "students must know how to read mathematical...

    Is it too late to pick up Legal Studies?

    True, but if your marks aren't that great - then they probably will say no. This is because you do need the Prelim content to do the HSC, it's background material they'll assume you know. Why do marks matter? Because if you're not seen as very academically capable - then the school...

    Should the top students be worried about, or thanking the low achieving students....

    Re: Should the top students be worried about, or thanking the low achieving students. Personally, I think you should keep your eye on how well you're going - which translates to a higher rank, and a lower mark differential from those ranked above you. It's really your goal when you're in the HSC.

    Is UWS really as bad as everyone gives it credit for??

    Probably because they can get into what is perceived as a better university. Or other reasons like, "It's UWS - I'd rather do Arts at ___ and transfer into what I want there" or "UWS no offer course i like :( " or something... Personally, I wouldn't really like to go to UWS... it gives me a...
