Good work, added to the big list of raw marks :) I assume ASST is your final (aligned) assessment mark?

It's true that if you receive your first preference you don't get considered for later rounds, however this doesn't apply if you change your preferences before the next round and move it down the list.

Private school, you just had to ask around to find the WEP key and the IT staff didn't mind as long as you used the school proxy and logged in appropriately.

I'd say drop Physics - for an MBBS Chem is far more important.

I'm not familiar with UNSW, but I imagine there's probably just some more paperwork that needs to be finalised. Presumably if they were going to reject your enrolment they would tell you pretty soon.

If your university enrolment is successful, and you have adequate SLE left, your application is accepted automatically.

If you're paying $70 a week in HECS repayments, then you'd be earning about $60,000 or so, am I right?

This is an opinion piece I wrote about the raw marks issue for issue 5 of unleash, the official magazine of the Youth Action and Policy Association NSW. YAPA is the peak organisation representing young people and youth services in NSW - if you're interested in finding out more about the advocacy...

Also once you do get a HECS debt, you can get a 10% bonus on any voluntary repayments you make later on. So the 20% upfront discount probably isn't worth it unless you have heaps of money already.

Yeah it's about 8 hours or so. As far as I know all contracts start on the 13th, so everyone who arrives before then has to put themselves up somewhere for the night.

Exetel :D Although I don't know how they are with ADSL2 since here in the backwaters of Port Macquarie our only high speed options are Telstra and TSN :(

No, it's completely acceptable to hate MacBook owners :p

I'm heading down on Feb 12 which is the day before my Ursies contract starts. Driving down with the rest of the family, so it'll be a long trip from Port Macquarie :(

Well to be fair there's only been two working days since academic offers were made, so I wouldn't categorise them as very slow. Possibly in need of a bit more automation, but it will always take a few days to sort out all the offers. Johns does interviews, like many colleges at other unis...

Film studies, sounds good. And yeah, it seems there's like 3 people on BOS who have got their ANU accommodation all sorted :(

BTW what do you plan to do on the Arts side? I'm planning on Pol Science and International Relations.

True, true... I've accepted an offer at Ursula Hall.

Arts/Law, I know too many Arts/Law students :p Arts/Science myself, but I'm thinking about switching to Arts/IT.

No, it's true for all unis. However, if you change your late round preferences, you can be reconsidered.

I see you're going to ANU, which degree are you doing? Good luck with learning to cook at Fenner!
