hey the course that you are doing is pretty much exactly what i want to do at notre dame next year. just wondering what kind of marks did you get? and do you know if they base your entry mainly on your uai/atar or the interview/application?
I don't go to Notre Dame myself but I have a lot of friends at the Fremantle campus, so I'll attempt to answer this for you.
If you apply early (ie by early September), then your interview will be before your HSC. This means that they will look more at your school marks and overall application. If you end up with a later interview (due to a later application), then your ATAR may come into it more.
For example, I had a friend who applied for Nursing last year. Her interview was in September, and they offered her a place on the spot from school marks, etc. However, she went on to fail English in TEE (which Notre Dame supposedly requires a pass in), but kept her place. Another friend applied for the same course, but later, so her interview wasn't until December. It meant that her TER became available to Notre Dame, and as she was just under, missed out on Nursing.
Moral of the story: Apply early if you are confident with your school marks.
Additionally, when I went around all the open days etc last year, I was really impressed by the ND law school (albeit at Freo, but I'm sure Broadway has a similar program).
