    what are the chances?

    No. The original poster is talking about the preliminary round of offers, which are released on the 4th - some courses release offers then. The vast majority of offers [to non-school leavers and school leavers] are made on the 17th in the MAIN round of offers. Look at the UAC website to find out...

    cadetships? too late??

    You can still get one at the end of 1st Year - one of my friends is studying at UTS and has just finished her 1st year full-time and is now going part-time study full-time work at PWC [definitely one of the "Big 4"] for the next two years. Plus - this way you get to be a uni student for the...

    Anyone going to New College next year?

    I have an interview [by phone] on Thursday this week. Hopefully should all go okay - but I wish they were offering places as they went like Women's College at Sydney is! [I had a phone interview with their Dean a few weeks ago and they offered me a spot after 15 minutes, which certainly makes it...

    Arts (Advanced)/Law - questions

    Thanks for the info! I had assumed that I could do Arts (Advanced) - one of my friends is doing Science (Adv)/Law but maybe that's just a Science thing?? Oh well, it's not really a problem. Hmm....I'm really tempted by Arts right now....and the idea of majoring in History - as the History...

    Arts (Advanced)/Law - questions

    Hi people, I completed my HSC in 2005 but have currently deferred uni for a year while I'm o a gap year in England. The course I deferred was International Studies/Law at UNSW - which is a six year course requiring me to go on a year of exchange, which I've decided I don't want to do...

    How accurate is SAM? 2005ers, please come in

    SAM, with my final HSC marks, predicted me at 99.7 - which is exactly what I got :) so it was 100% accurate for me. Another one of my friends was predicted at 99.8 - which turned out to be her UAI - whereas another friend was predicted at 99.6 by SAM but then got 98.9...so its accuracy can...

    The Pros and Cons of Deferment

    I've already deferred uni this year, for a number of reasons. 1) I'm only 17, and I won't turn 18 until October. So rather than start uni underage, I figure that I have that spare year that a lot of my friends [who are 18 already and turn 19 this year] don't have. 2) The HSC nearly killed...

    16 Year olds doing the HSC

    I was accelerated when I was about 5 [I skipped Year 1] and so I turned 17 on the third day of my HSC after accelerating HSC Chemistry at the age of just 16 [while in Year 11]. So that I'm not an exceptionally young uni student [I'll turn 18 this October] I'm doing a GAP year in England this...

    Australian Students Prize NSW Criteria

    Yeah, it's definitely not just for public school students, several girls from my school [Abbotsleigh] have received it in recent years. The criteria seems to be varying and a bit weird...and the Department doesn't seem to want to tell us what it is...

    All right, who'll be joining the ranks next year?

    I just got a place doing Combined Law [with either Arts or International Studies] but I'll be deferring it as I'm in the UK for a year. So I'll be at UNSW in 2007 :)

    UAC main-round offers; what'd you get?

    I Can't Get In!!!

    I can't get mine either!!!! Argh! I know I should have gotten in, based on my UAI and course cut-off, but I want to see my offer!

    Bridging Course so short!

    I had a friend who did the 2U bridging course at Sydney Uni last year - the day course, which is 2 weeks long - and he said that they cut out the stuff you'll never need to know at uni, and focus on the important stuff. He's a below-average Maths student, but had no problems with the bridging...

    Does your school give UAI predictions?

    Hey, I slightly disagree with you saying that people who overstate their UAI won't make it into med...Out of the 30 or so Abbotsleigh girls who applied for UNSW Med, 6 got first-round interviews. However, only 3 [50%] of those girls actually got 99+ UAIs - the other three all got 98+, however...

    Top in school

    I found out our Dux got 99.95 [Abbotsleigh].

    Does your school give UAI predictions?

    My private school wouldn't give us predictions, and I'm pretty sure that when we got asked for predicted UAIs [for UNSW med forms, etc], they estimated all of our students at 99+. Fair, unfair, who knows? Knox Grammar, on the other hand, which is a boys' school very near mine, estimates all...

    international studies enrolment

    See, you would think that, but it doesn't seem to be compulsory. Just that you "normally" have to do a language. But I can't find any up to date info on it!

    What didn't count in your UAI calculation?

    I counted: Ancient History - 96 Economics - 96 English Advanced - 92 English Ext 1 - 48 English Ext 2 - 49 Modern History - 95 And didn't count: Chemistry - 87 [done in 2004] Maths - 86

    International Studies/Law

    I too am interested in this degree, but still unsure about whether or not I'd want to go on exchange....does anyone know how difficult it is to transfer back to Arts/Law from International Studies/Law?

    international studies enrolment

    I'm also probably going to do International Studies [combined with Law] but can someone tell me if I'd have to do a language if I chose the Global Studies stream? Please???
