Re: What are your marks and UAI aim?

i had toss up between psychology and design, and decided to go with design.

going to do visual communications at uni of newcastle, uai of 78. something, atar of 80. something according to the uac guide books. probably not the best uni to do the course but whatever, don't want to move.

Put in a NIDA app, but I'm sure I'll have to do about 73 auditions before thay let me in haha. So I was aiming for Bach of Arts, Theatre and Performance Studies major at either Usyd or UNSW :)

I still don't know what I want to do. Well, I'm really stuck between what I think I want to do and doing a course that will probably get me a [better] job.

Perhaps UTS: B Design in Visual Communication/B Arts in International Studies... 96.65 ATAR - most probably achievable especially with bonus points.

yeah, i haven't heard of anyone getting in until they're about 20 or older. gives me enough time to think about going there.

imo, you should really look at vca or waapa.

3 reasons.

1: she might not live in the western suburbs.
2: uts has (to my knowledge) nicer facilities and a definitely nicer location.
3: university of western sydney.

LOL.

Hey, have you decided what you wanna do?
probably something to do with media/communications.
usyd is out of the question - 98.95 (might just do plain arts there instead - 83)
uts is a possibility - 90-95.
mac u and unsw are likelihoods - 80-87.

ironically enough, if i fail all i'll consider doing law at UWS - 80.65 with full bonus points applied. maybe media, i might look at their facilities at their open day tomorrow, but i'm pretty sure their communications faculty is in penrith.

you?

I'm fairly fucked if I don't get 99.4 (UNSW).....

But I suppose there's always Macquarie. :)

Unforuntately, parents are pointing me towards the medicine direction, or if not, pharmacy, optom etc etc. Typical asian parents. :(

serious? what the fuck is wrong with law?
it's still a pretty well regarded profession amongst azns. i guess the pay packet is slightly better?

woulda thought dent came after med. but phamacy isnt the way to go these days.
Nah, they know me enough not to make me do Dent. I have a perpetual fear of dentists....when I was younger, I literally had to be strapped into the chair....
