and may god put MORE funds into education!!

umm.. i was also curious... basically would it be better if i make it into the degree arts/law then transfer to another uni... or go arts into the uni i want (closest to my home) combining arts wif law???

hey guys,

I'm currently facing a little dilemma about preferences for uni. I want to do commerce/law but i didnt get the marks to get into UNSW for law.
I was considering a transfer into second year but would you think it is worth all the pressure of a distinction to high distinction average if i can probably get into Macquarie Uni for commerce/law from first year?

i just need convincing arguments and advice into my problem

full fee first yr... then transfer in2 hecs second yr at unsw... dont waste ne time... n 40% success rate... however theres teh drawback of 18720 bucks... so...
thers also choice 2 do commerce at unsw first yr then transfer 2 law 2nd yr like minai's doing...

 

[dreaming...]

yeh for choice 1, seems enticing but what would happen if i'm one of the 60% that dont make it?..can be risky

for choice 2, to get a distinction average can be hard and also risky

would you suggest if i did a transfer that with a UAI of 97.25 i might only need a distinction average?

would you feel that obtaining a distinction average would be hard?

Distinctions are easy to attain in your Commerce subjects, provided u do some work
however, distinctions in law are much harder..

So for my UAI will i need to obtain a D or HD?

and how hard have you guys this year to try and get a D?

Lazarus (admin here) got a similar UAI to u in 2001, and he got into UNSW law after 1 year of adv.science at USYD where he got just below a D average - because cutoffs rise every year, I'm guessing u'll need at least a D average with ur UAI

in commerce, if u do ur work, u'll get D's

 

[dreaming...]

is there some part of the UNSW website that mentions about transfers?

Also, if i did consider full fee for one year then transfer to HECs, would you consider them successful to do?

Ahh, yes... perhaps, my dear pigs, one day you too may walk the path of enlightenment...
