did u guys fiddle with SAM the 2005 version or are u guys fiddling with other uai calcs?
I fiddled around with SAM and it gave me 96.10. It's pretty accurate because it was only 0.5 above for my sister.

mechatronics / science is a good choice :)
Yea...i have always had an interest in robotics and electronics. i.e. playing around with remote cars adding random parts and stuff.
And Mechatronics seems to complement that with science i can study whatever science i like so it seems alrite plus its easier to get a UAI of 93.8 than 99.55.
Or i could go for B.Eng/BAdvSc...lol (UAI:95.30)

Hi-5!
our UAI estimates are pretty close.
Yeah I just put in my exam marks into SAM, and walla, pretty accurate to what the other members put.

99.10 which is way higher then i expected. Probably cause my school is ranked low. so our marks are higher cause the uai calculators dont take into account ranks. hahaha it was fun messing around with it... still need higher to get into law but :(

Ideally- 90-95, realistically and sadly i think I'll only get 85 - 90. LOL Which university offers law with the UAI of 90? None? Thought so!

Re: What UAI are you aiming for?

Law is pretty hard to get a job with. There is a lot of competition in law so even if you graduate there is no certainty that you'll get a good job in a firm.
So i would not count it as a career prospect. :)

There are many jobs related to Law, which don't result in being a lawyer or even working in a law firm. :p
