I know someone who managed to get one through UTS (he got 96.xx for his UAI) actually, i'm pretty sure his first day was today.

apparently it's pretty selective, the UAI you'll need will depend on what university you want to do the cadetship through. you also need to do a fuckload of interviews.

I'm starting a cadetship right now, and it's a good start for you even knowing about them... A lot of smart people miss out not hearing anything... Applications generally don't close until June 20th, and they don't open until a bit closer that date. But biggest advice... Go to the ICAA Cadetship Info Evening... You will meet all the firms out there and gain all the forms and info you need... I don't think you need to be super smart... Just good marks, ranks, extra- curricular, and people skills for all those interviews...

A few of my mates got these, your UAI isn't really that important, most companies require you make it into a certain course though (eg. Business at UTS or Commerce at UNSW) but extracurriculars are much more important than grades

yeah what spence said, your uai only makes up part of their consideration, really they look at your extra cirricular activities and your skills like communication, teamwork etc. but you must expect to get a uai of 85+ i think

I talked to my mate who has one with UBS, and of the 5 people with his cadetship, he got the lowest UAI, with 97. So although you don't necessarily need good grades, apparently most people with them get high UAIs. But I'm pretty sure extra-curriculars are still more important

Just wondering...has a guy come around to give a talk about these cadetships at your school?

 

[leoyh]

my school isn't as prestigious and big as other schools so we don't usually have cadets coming to talk to us, we only find out about stuff through careers office

 

[La Divina]

I was referring to the guy that organises the cadetship, but there are also cadets who come around. Either way, I guess that it would be impossible to give a talk at every school ><
At least you know about them, a lot of schools don't inform their students about them.
