To answer your questions quickly, (respectively)

measure risk, sometimes long, good, quite low so you may be trying for a while.

I could expand but seriously if you're asking these questions now...

But it is the truth. They have different criterion for each gender.

 

[holla back girl]

anyone not get an offer?

 

[stryder_au]

seems a bit sus... everyone i've talked to so far has been shortlisted =| .. i'm startin to think they tell us we're shortlisted so we don't kill ourselves lol

 

[sunny]

From what I've heard, the short list is as long as the # number of offers, possibly more in case no one offered a coop actually accept them in case they change their mind, have another offer elsewhere, etc.

Absolute rubbish. Don't listen to them *Katie*.

 

[~ ReNcH ~]

I got a conditional offer for ISM. I didn't get Finance though, which is what I really wanted. Nevertheless, I'm happy to have the option of doing ISM

 

[MedNez]

Congratulations Rench =)

 

[stryder_au]

hey Rench, does that mean you're goign to accept the ISM offer if you get the uai?
and btw, did your bos name used to be somethin demolition?

 

[~ ReNcH ~]

Congratulations Rench =)

Thanks

I'm still not sure whether to accept the scholarship or not. I've got to decide between a BCom (ISM Co-op + Fins major), a BCom (Acct + Fins) or a BCom (Fins)/LLB. I like computers, but I really don't know whether that's the career path I want to go down...at least I've still got a few days to talk it over with teachers and other students

 

[seremify007]

Well, there are jobs for computing students, just nowhere near as many as there are Acct/Fin jobs. Good luck in choosing something- to me, I've always liked computers and being good at the studies, but in the real world, nothing pisses me off more than a slow computer which doesn't work so I don't think I'd survive in a job which required me to work with them!

Btw, Congrats on the great achievement!

 

[stryder_au]

what did you get an offer for seremify?
