    UMAT - Subtle Discrimination Against Asians?

    Anybody here has transferred into B. Com or B. Econ USYD from another uni before? Or knows someone who did? I have a UAI of 91.75. Must I get D average for my first year to be successful? Will Cr average suffice? I don't think I can manage a D average. Aren't NRSL cut-offs generally 2 UAI...

    How many B. Accounting students are there in UTS every year? This is because there was an article by BRW which showed that many accounting students from UTS were employed by the Big 4. I just wanted to know whether they were refering to the B. Accounting or B. Business students. Thanx!

    What the heck is HECS-HELP???

    OK, while registering for UTS's B. Business, I came across this question: "Are you a Pre-2005 student?" Which I obviously am not, since I'm ENROLLING into it right now!
