    Why do people say UTS is a bad uni???

    Pretty accurate answers I would say, although I thought it would be interesting to note that UTS has been climbing the world university rankings quite impressively (Wollongong has as well). I.e. UTS has recently overtaken Macquarie in the past year (it jumped 46 ranks since last year). Also...

    Any chances of a 90+ ATAR?

    The ATAR is a rank, not a mark. And to answer your question; yes, it is possible to get a 90+ ATAR with the way you are currently going. Whatever rank you are in your school is very important to your final assessment mark; so strive for the best ranks you can get internally. This is because your...

    Which 2 of these 4 Units should I keep?

    For me, Year 11 Economics and Modern History were boring af. I can still remember all those Eco lessons I spent sleeping lol. Economics is a very content heavy subject, especially in Year 11, which is why many of my classmates dropped it. However, I found Year 12 Economics and Modern History...

    Should I do a double degree?

    Congratulations! First of all, you should be very proud of yourself for achieving such a great ATAR. I'm not sure about the workload of Actuarial Studies but I think it is quite heavy. If you are genuinely interested in studying both Actuarial Studies and Commerce, I would say go for it. Just...

    I slept in classes I found boring. lol being serious though. But I still put in a lot of work and effort. Emailed teachers my essays and asked questions when I was unsure of things.

    UNSW or USYD

    Tough decision, but most people would probably spend the $5000 on useless things anyway, and not even use the free iPad. But in all seriousness, both universities are very reputable for civil engineering. However, if ranking matters to you, UNSW is ranked 14th in the world for civil whilst USyd...

    Every year, QS does a worldwide university ranking by taking into account different factors such as academic reputation, employer reputation etc. It is a credible use of ranking as it is also used by universities to advertise (i.e. UNSW). However, of course every university has its perks. In...

    What course you doing next year?

    Relax, USyd is 46th in the world this year which is only one rank higher than UNSW. In terms of business, UNSW is ranked 19th in the world whereas USyd is ranked 32nd. But at the end of the day, it's up to you.

    help!!! low atar, how do i get into macquarie

    Well, the best thing you can do is actually ask Macquarie University to help answer your questions. Give them a call or ask them any future undergraduate student questions that you need answered through their website. I'm sure none of us here can give a better answer than they can.
