class of 06. Post ur university prefrences (2 Viewers)

[ugly14]

as the title says...now that we have done the trials and are preparing to apply to uac for our course prefrences. im a bit confused ..i only have 3 in my prefrences...is that enough or do i need to fill all 9?

share ur prefrences for university applications

cheers

 

[Tikkki]

hey, you dont need a total of nine to get in your course. the reason they have nine options is that people applying have backups if they dont get into the course they want. it would be wise to pick courses that you could also use in bridging after the first year.

hope that helped

Haven't Looked at the whole guide, but I wouldn't mind doing either of those courses . I'll highlight Faves.

UWS, Incase I don't do as good as I'd like too. It's all nice and safe, Lol 60s

 

[littlewing69]

1. Arts Law ANU 96.5
2. International Relations ANU 90
3. Arts ANU 83

2 and 3 are hopefully just backstops...but if my HSC takes a turn for the worse, obviously I'll have to rethink.

Preferences:
1. B. Nursing UTS- city 82.45
2. Health science/M Nursing USYD 77.10
3. B. Nursing ACU- 64.10 (hoping my UAI doesnt bomb out to this low)

5. B Medical Science UTS- 85.20
6. B Science in Biomedical Science UTS- 80.35
7. B Medical Science UNSW- 85

[kerfuffle]

Haven't picked my preferences (probably'll start tomorrow, when my final trial HSC exam is over) but my first three would go along the lines of B Arts at UNSW, then Sydney, then UWS. As for the next six preferences . . . Business? Education? O.O
Edit: Found out by flicking through the UAC 2007 Guide that B Arts at UWS has two locations to complete the course - Bankstown and Penrith. So that'll mean I have five preferences left.

 

[UnIqUe_PrInCeSs]

I haven't even thought about my university preferences ^_^

I'll hopefully do it after my trials.

pluvia - the way u rank ur preferences perplexes me. why is your number 2 so much higher an uai than number 1? you're wasting a spot as i dont think a degree will fluctuate 5 uai points in the timespan of a year (by wasting - i mean that if you miss the cut off for number 1 pref, you defintely wont be considered for number two as it would be significantly higher) nevertheless - there is the tiny possibility that number 2 could end up being lower than number 1.

actually - ignore me and go with your instincts - like how UAC tells u to rank in order of preference

There not in any real order yet. But I'm tossing up between putting the MACQ first or the UNSW first

But there is also the case if I make it into Co-op scholarship so, I'm not quite sure yet. That's just a preferred list

 

[gemrism]

I only have 3 so far
1.Commerce/Economics UNSW 93.00
2.Economics 85 ...then i'll transfer into #1
3.B of Business UTS 90.15

 

[UnIqUe_PrInCeSs]

The business and science courses seem very popular.



I've read over the UAC guide, but I still haven't made up my mind
Like I don't even know what most of the courses are about :/
e.g Bachelor of Arts and blah blah.

You can always ask universities for more information, through their website. Or go to the Open Days (UWS had their one today). B Arts is . . . erm . . . humanities? O.O Bit hard to explain . . .
If I get to do a B Arts degree, I want to major in English.

 

[ane_st]

i think i posted mine up in another thread.. oh well here they are

1 Bachelor of Social Work at UNSW 75.00
2 Bachelor of Social Work at University of Sydney 83.80
3 Bachelor of Social Work at UWS 70.00
4 Bachelor of Social Science at UNSW 75.00
5 Bachelor of Social Science at UWS 70.00
6 Bachelor of Social Science at Macquarie University 83.10
7 Bachelor of Psychology at UWS 80.00
8 Bachelor of Community Welfare at UWS 60.00
9 Bachelor of Arts at UNSW 70.00

i want to put in a joint course but it doesnt let me... these are the choices ive put in to th UAC code about 30minutes ago

EDIT: now have all 9 choices filled

 

[housemouse]

1. B Medicine/B Surgery at UNSW: ??.??

2. B Medicine at University of Newcastle: ??.??

3. B Commerce/B Laws at USyd: 99.60

4. B Commerce/B Laws at UNSW: 99.20

5. B Arts/B Laws at UNSW: 99.20

6. B Applied Finance/B Laws at Macquarie: 95.90

7. B Commerce/B Arts at UNSW: 93.00

Im looking at Commerce Law at UNSW however I doubt I'd get 99.20 for my UAI however in the UAC guide, it says for Commerce Law for the DFEE and IFEE row, that you only need 94 which i dont understand.
