don't deprive yourself of too much sleep cos it really fucks you up. don't consume any caffeine after midday and NEVER stay up past 11pm studying for an exam the next day, esp. for non-essay subjects like maths or exams that involve tricky multiple choice. why? sleeping actually makes you...

actually usyd media &comm is a completely diff course to unsw's. unsw one is more about digital media/computery stuff whereas usyd is more journalism/PR stuff (from what i understand- there have been threads about this before but i cant be bothered to find them)

you could do some volunteer work so you have something extra on your resumé? what about tutoring or even babysitting just for some work experience?

History extension (both the major work and the course work) is really good preparation for doing humanities at university, even if you don't actually continue 'history' itself as a subject at that level. It is v. interesting as well. The major work isn't really as much of a big deal as everyone...

marks are for the whole unit, incl. participation

just to detract from th thread topic was ibus a good unit zannaz?

you can do grad law @ unsw part-time after your first degree and from what i can see they don't take UAI into account. it's a long way of going about it however. http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/programs/2005/4791.html

let's face it, nobody's going to get their information solely from random people's internet blogs- the primary source of information for most people would still have to be tv and/or radio, and sometimes newspapers. people who learn about news/current events from the internet do so...

as a side note, I think it's strange that you say that you got a "shitty" uai of 78 because you didn't know what career you wanted to pursue- a lot of people who get 99+ UAIs don't know what career they want either so it's not really an excuse. I wouldn't say that 78 is a shitty UAI though- it...

what qualifications do you have?

somebody tried to send you a virus and it got blocked by the uni virus scan system thing. your account isn't going to be closed.

um, in case you people haven't noticed teachers have lives too!! it is not their sole purpose in life to be a slave to your stupid little hscs! you only do the hsc once, they do it EVERY YEAR. stop whinging and go study.

im pretty sure there is some creative writing course at UTS as well that is quite practically-oriented. look in the uac guide or on uts website.

if you're in about top 1/3 rank for all your subjects at one of the top 5 schools, you should be able to get 99+ UAI if you cane your actual hsc exams. even in top half of the rankings, you should be able to get 96+.

i doubt that post-2005 enrolments will be able to do 2 majors for commerce in comm/law due to new credit pt system. but i'm not completely sure.

yeah, personal achievement would probably count for more eg. person with first class honours & heaps of experience in subject x from uni #50 would look way better than person who just passed x with no experience fron uni #1 etc.

arts (languages) is a 4yr degree with a semester or year overseas i think, and i'm pretty sure that the uni pays for you to go there as well. you have to major in at least one language arts is a 3yr degree with no overseas requirement and you don't have to major in a language. (but you can if...

you can't get proper accounting accreditation from an economics degree because there isn't enough room. if you want to be an economist, do eco. if you want to be an accountant, do commerce.
