900 places cut? (1 Viewer)

[ND]

In that SMH article, it said that macq was possibly going to cut 900 places. Do you think that this will affect acst? Hopefully they leave it alone cos everyone wants to do it.
Maybe its time to put something below acst on my pref list.

lol thatd be pretty bad
good luck mate

I know eh?
Cutting 900 places is a huge effect on students.

yeah I heard about that........I think it's good because it means its harder to get into Macquarie which raises the standard and makes us look better

ye makes us look better on uac guides
but really it juz means mq wants $$$ and is accepting more international students

Easy to say when you're already there.

I won't make much difference because they'll probably over-enrol ACST by maybe 40 next year... followin' trends.

if they cut 900 places it will fuck everything up for all of us doing the hsc.... minimum course entry uais will go up in courses that dont cut places becuase there will be more demand for courses in unis without getting places cut... i just wanna say i am really fucking pissed off right now and if i could find someone to blame for this, i would unleash hell (eg vandalise their house, car, throw eggs at them and basically make their life hell).... bastard government so ignorant they dont realise how it affects everyone. If out government didnt get involved in this stupid propoganda war with the usa and spend all the moneym, which should be used on educating people instead of killing people, we would not be placed in this position. Anyone disagree with me (like think i sound like an idiot and wanna pay me out!) or want to calm me down please feel free to do so.... i want to hear other peoples opinions too not just my own... I AM NOW ABSOLUTELY STRESSED OUT ABOUT MY HSC AND WHAT MARK I WILL GET!!!

in the end, this is a cruel world and its every man for himself. Spend less time complaining and concentrate on getting a higher uai. =p

That's about the only thing you HSCers can do... alternately come to MQ and transfer after one semester... it's so easy, it's not funny.

Well, I already feel sorry for your year, the UAIs (like price of things around us) seem to only be able to rise.
