How well did you do with your tertiary marks Calla?

 

[Calla]

not that great....i'd say about credit average or something...got 1 fail, and one near fail.....a distinction and mostly credits...but got 89.4 UAI so at least that helps.

 

[hellomike]

Yeah your UAI was good enough for last year... I hope we both make it.

 

[Calla]

thanks i hope we both do aswell.....right now the server is so crammed i cant get through ...really frustrating

 

[miZzme19]

anyone get into visual communication??

 

[jaydot]

Yep

 

[hellomike]

Well done on achieving that UAI, you even made this year's new cutoff at 90.05.

 

[juni]

did u get in hellomike?

 

[Calla]

yeah congrats Juni...and international studies too! thats awesome

 

[hellomike]

did u get in hellomike?

I'm seeking other avenues to see if I can still make it or not.

 

[hellomike]

I spoke to someone from the Faculty and they said that all decisions for the course were already finalised and that the course does not have second or third rounds. It makes sense but I know there are Vancacies for DFEE. There is also no mid-year applications... all that effort into this and no luck it's annoying.

 

[juni]

yeah congrats Juni...and international studies too! thats awesome

Thx

I think you guys should apply for the DFEE if you really wanted to do it cuz there are vacancies from what i heard !

 

[Calla]

yeah i have applied to DFEE at UTS, but theres no way i'm financially prepared to pay 18 grand a year, and thats why im going to seek out a loan from fee-help (unfortunately for me scholarships entry has closed). And of course will try and secure a place in CSP for next year....

However im in a bit of a rut in deciding whether i should pick the above option, or just attend UNSW (cofa) bachelor of design (HECS) and try to transfer to UTS next year..

 

[hellomike]

Juni, do you know if the Faculty are willing to re-consider if I was to speak to someone from the executive staff? What would be my chances if I feel I am still strong enough for a place and/or because they still have vacancies?

 

[hellomike]

Personal Statements have been re-opened for Late Rounds! Like what? Ok long night for me then.

Personal Statements have been re-opened for Late Rounds! Like what? Ok long night for me then.

wait...WAAAAAAT ..???.....plz dont tell me we have to revise our statements

 

[hellomike]

I am unsure about this situation and I asked another member regarding this. It does look like I will need to call the School of Design again and ask about my current situation.

The problem is:
- If re-writing the statement, does it improve the chances of getting a place or does not do anything
- Can re-writing the statement make us officially eligible for DFEE

 

[Calla]

re-writing the personal statement? where did u get that idea btw? however if that is the case its totally ridiculous

 

[juni]

u guys need to re write the statement? :S

good luck guys

 

[hellomike]

Hey Juni, do you know if I may be able to talk to the Dean or the Head of School of Design regarding my application? Who would be better?
