All right, who'll be joining the ranks next year? (2 Viewers)

[Lundy]

Hey 05ers, on behalf of BOS's UNSW cohort, I'd like to say congratulations/commiserations on your HSC results.

Who's planning on coming to UNSW next year? What degree are you hoping to study?

 

[PiGMAN]

hi

I'll be doing elec eng if i magically get co-op somehow (shortlist), failing that, I'll be doing elec eng / science (phys or maths, no idea yet).

 

[sikeveo]

I'll be there doing adv sci.

 

[MAICHI]

I'll be there doing adv sci.

Why adv sci, are you taking math and finance major?

 

[Dumsum]

Hey hello!

I'll be there. UNSW is teh sex.

I'm looking at Advanced Science majoring in Phys+Astro, but if I find I don't really like astro I'll take a look at other physics plans.

 

[Sonic]

YEAH............ UNSW is the bomb love it

i'll be doing science/education (major chemistry) that's if the UAI's don't jump
please GOD don't let them jump...please please

 

[milancob]

What do you mean Jump?! Arent the 06 cutoffs stable until next years hsc?

I might be joining the ranks.. still have some decisions to make.
I have the options of:
Comp Eng - UNSW
Soft Eng - USyd
Commerce - Macq
B Bus B Computing - UTS

HELP! lol

why are those your only options? Why not soft eng at unsw? (if youre considering soft eng at syd...)

 

[Epitome of Lazy]

Oh, because my uai fell just short of the cutoff for softeng @ UNSW.
88.15 as opposed to 90
Im looking into post semester 1 transfers at unsw atm, because i would really love to do a double degree like Comp Eng/Comm or SoftEng/Comm.
If i were to go into CompEng, is it possible to to xfer into CompEng/B Com? If so, are there any downsides?

 

[Minai]

Don't think like that
UAI cutoffs vary dramatically...ie that Soft Eng cutoff at UNSW might be 87.5 this year, meaning you'd get in.

ALWAYS put your preferences in order of what you'd MOST like to do, not UAI cutoff order

i concur, except it IS pretty silly to put syd law down as 3rd preference

 

[sikeveo]

maybe, maybe not. I dunno yet.

 

[Epitome of Lazy]

Hrrmm.. so what was that UAC Guide 06 for?
Especially as you said softeng could be 87.5?
When do they change next?

 

[Sonic]

the 2006 UAC book lists the cut offs for 2005..and 2007 will list for 2006 so on...
nobody knows the cutoff till they com out early jan 06

 

[Epitome of Lazy]

oh that sucks. So i dont even know if i can scrape into the courses i thought i could get into.

 

[sunny]

Just a quick congrats to everyone that'll be joining UNSW next year. You might work like you've never worked before, some say its like doing the HSC twice a year, but you'll still have fun.

 

[elfm]

wow lots of elec eng people.. be warned - it's hard

edit: in response to the above - i find uni A LOT easier and more fun than yr 12. Reason being is that you're doing something you chose instead of something you're forced into doing, e.g. english.

 

[Sonic]

yeah elfm its better eventhough i want to do science and i hear that you get home brain dead... at least i know that i want to do it and that i've chosen it which means that it'll work out (or has to if i want to get a credit average)

 

[elfm]

yea science is a hell of a lot of work. my sister does biotechnology 2nd year, and she has stacks to work to read and remember before exams.
