    Most optimal/relevant major for economics with actuarial studies?

    Damn, probably finance - is that possible? If you actually want to work in front office/M&A/IBD and have a commerce related degree, more likely than not, you'll be tested on finance/vals/sector knowledge in interviews. Only usually people from completely different backgrounds (e.g...

    14 hour shift in medicine FML

    Just spoke to a usyd grad interning in Prince Alfred atm. Seems to be fairly good. But he did say some orthopedics hours get pretty high. He has a finance background so was good to see both sides finally. Will be rekt if I have to go rural to get jobs.

    What is Law?

    I think its something you need to try yourself before you develop an opinion of studying law at an Australian university. I initially got into law purely because it is the traditional and most common path towards Banking/Consulting grad programs (i.e. I wasn't going to practice law - had my...

    14 hour shift in medicine FML

    Lol shit. Oh well, still better thank banking hours. But it must be draining for non-stop. Did you get a lunch break for 15-20 mins at least? or was it basically running around and eating?

    Stop asking stupid shit on boredofstudies and make some friends who'll help you out. There is no 'trick' just fucking talk to the girl unless you're a 4 and she's a 9 then don't worry.

    Job Prospects with a Commercial Law Major?

    Given that you'll be working in tax & legal (didn't know they gave out cadetships), commercial law may help. It is probably a good compliment to accounting but most of your training will be on the job + study anyway so doesn't matter too much. One of the tax vaccies who performed exceptionally...

    What's better for an investment banker? comm/eco, comm/sci or comm/adv sci (stats)

    Re: What's better for an investment banker? comm/eco, comm/sci or comm/adv sci (stats You'll be near half a mill if you're progression is good by that time. Note that not everyone makes the 5 years. grads get base of 85-100 with packages going to 115 last year being the highest (on par with...

    UNSW Combined Law

    They don't assess applications for law that way in terms of credit points. If you did 48 credit points, they will take into account that as "1 year" of grades. Doing 18 units to obtain higher grades is pretty stupid because employers will see that and unless you have been working 3-4 days a week...

    Med science vs science

    Uws med sci. No question. Gives you more opportunities to get into med and gives you a relatively low umat cut off so you can do undergrad med if you want. And also EZ to get a gpa that is 6.7 pluswith some effort. But if you're scared of competition and want to do med...notsureifsrs

    External transfers to UNSW commerce or comm/llb (+general transfer questions)

    I said 'they should' have that option. It isn't automatic for usyd I believe I had to transfer credits when I changed my degrees. Like I said, best way is to call them up. You aren't going to get int 'trouble' or anything. Seriously.

    External transfers to UNSW commerce or comm/llb (+general transfer questions)

    what the fuck? Edit: just read your post properly 'don't ask why I transferred out' fair enough. Thought you were just jumping uni's for fun. You need around 65ish wam for UNSW commerce and 74-80 ish WAM for unsw comm/llb. Note that they vary. You're WAM will probably reset but you should...

    Private tutor, UNSW first year accounting - 1st place ACCT 1511

    Just do PASS, best use of your credentials. You will generally only get internationals who are really lost and don't seem to get even the basics. Post on student vip if you're really keen, good response rate.

    Is law really the death sentence that everyone makes it out to be?

    Typically, Less than 10 people out of around 400 get hds in a proper 1st year law unit (i.e. excluding foundations of law which is just bs). My raw was exactly the same as my final mark for all my law units so far (public, torts and contracts). You are up against some of the most hard working...
