Hey guys,
I got offered commerce/applied finance (prof accounting) at macquarie in the main round and arts at usyd in the late round. I've already accepted my commerce/applied finance (prof accounting) offer as it was advised heavily by the BoS to do so back then. The problem is: I am not sure if I want to do arts instead of commerce. I mean I'm still researching about which one I really want to do and I'm still waiting on some of my friends who do arts/commerce to send me their notes so I can see if I like the content.

As such, is it possible that I go to Usyd and accept their offer tomorrow wihle holding onto the macquarie offer at the same time? I know I can't do that forever (dude, I don't want to do a triple degree!) but is it possible for, say, the next fortnight or so before any $$$ needs to be paid?

Cheers!

You can ask to take a break/suspend study at Macquarie for a year and then study at USyd. Hence holding onto a backup degree if Arts does not work out.

But can I accept both degrees for now? Just for like a couple of days more?

Damn my indecisiveness lol.

Best to contact Macquarie first and see if you're allowed to suspend studies for a year so you can take on Arts at USyd. All the best ~

"A condition of deferment is that you must not undertake any tertiary level studies during the year of deferment. Tertiary studies include TAFE Certificate IV and above, University studies or any other programs used by Macquarie for selection purposes. "

What? :cry:

Different university policies. :S Is there a particular major in Arts you wish to do? And are you looking into internal transfers if you take on Arts at USyd?

ADD ON: http://sydney.edu.au/arts/current_students/transfer_undergraduate_degree.shtml - this might help if you do plan on transferring from Arts; it is a list of which course allows internal transfers and which will require you to go through UAC once more.
