well conceivably you would want that 95+ to translate into some sort of degree? something which may perhaps have chem as a useful thing to know about (which is why I asked this question).
arguably it is a far fairer game than students taking piss easy electives/subjects in university and having a higher overall wam when recruiting for intern/grad positions
i think ur right but shape and geometry generally are used interchangeably and this q has the point of making u label different geometries. most often probably molecular geometry rather than electron geometry is assumed
i would expect unsw to have harder exams/assignments. there probably has been people whove done well in actuarial without 4u. it varies person to person. coop is competitive, and lots of applicants will be in the 99s.
