i dont think thats really fair, some people have it really easy throughout high school and throughout life, and others have it really hard. Sure thats life, but as intelligent human beings dont we have a duty to try and make things a bit more fair? A girl i know got EAS because she moved...

Usyd for the prettyness, (come one, you cant deny the quad is pretty, and the conservatorium is beautiful!) Unsw for the laid-backedness (or so i'm told)... Uts for the, ummm...., well..... umm, its convienient to transport!

Depends on the severity for usyd, again its a case by case thing, because a lot of ppl get EAS from UAC just for going to a school in western syd or a so called "disadvantaged" schools, if usyd accepted them all they would take up all the uni places. its situations like this that Usyd requires...

sorry! i dunno what hapenned there... my comp goes really slow at peak times and sometimes i have to refresh, so maybe it had already posted when i refreshed...oh well! Replies... thaoroxy - if your careers teacher said that, listen the them, they obviously know what they are talking about...

oooh, i think you pissed him off!!!

i'm going to cry now, everyone thinks i am a snob... :-( oh well btw - what do the green things under your avatar mean? do i have any? spose i will see when i post this.. i have to study!!!! ahhhh!!!! exam tomorrow!!!!!! damn uni forums.... such convienient procrastination...specially when ppl...

i think we come across as snobs ( no offence to anyone) but yeah, in general, as a group we may appear snobbish. I personally think this is mostly due to the high proportion of private school people that come here (and i mean the so called "elite private schools" that charge upwards of $10,000...

A lot of companies offer postgraduate scholarships for you to do research in a specific field, eg - the dairy association might pay you to research milk production. Mostly its in the form of like a $25,000 or so tax free stipend per year. Usually for research that the government matches the...

UoW really sucks at Vet science :-P

depends on the course too, in many courses, you graduate with honours by maintaining a certain average mark over the course of your degree, usually mid credit and above. Thats mainly in science type courses though.

Again i beg everyone not to base their opinions about Usyd on the remarks made by melbournian. I too come from a small school in the west, and i dont think i am all high and mightly just because i got to Usyd. In the real world, most people arent going to care what uni you went to when they...

so i asked my friend how she got her loan - she got a commonwealth bank loan, because the uni didnt offer loans big enough to cover her fees. She said u can get loans of up to $20,000 from most banks which you can defer until after you finish your studies, but you pay a heap of interest for the...

Please dont think all usyd students are like Melbournian, he's just a stuck up college boy who did well in school and so now thinks he is king shit. Most of us Usyd students are actually quite down to earth, and not in the least bit snobbish. Besides, if he thinks he is so high and mighty...

hey wow thats pretty impressive! *note to self...never attempt to compete against braindrainedash!* hee hee, its funny how u pretty much followed by list of suggestions down to a tee, and we both wrote them ages ago! weird.... spose most ppls were probably pretty similar in format....

you could start off with a quote or something that sums up your attitude or beliefs or something. Like, i dunno, "to be successfull you must first be happy" or something (obviously not something that gay...), either famous or just a basic statement that sums up who you are or what you believe...

The personal statement kind of goes with and supports what is said in the reference. For example, reference says "independant", personal statement says "has casual job". Reference says "active" personal statement says "played soccer for school". You dont have to say "i am a wonderful...

Ha! *dissolves into coughing fit* what a joke! try 32 hours a week, plus non paid work experience in the holidays, learning 10 times the amount of stuff med students learn in a course thats a year shorter! spend a few days down in the vet faculty man, that'll put engineering into perspective for...

i dont know, but in my course, $50,000 wouldnt even pay for the first two years, so whats the point of that? you'd think with a $5 billion surplus the government would stop being so stingy and actually use it for something worthwhile.

i had to really squeeze it all in! thats one thing you get good at at uni, being concise (although i obviously havent mastered that art...) It took me a long time to cut mine down, you need to focus on the things that you are most proud of, and the things that will make you look good to the uni...
