Is it hard to get in?

 

[whoisurdaddy]

do you mean is it hard to become one? From rumor i think most leaders got at least 95+ in that course (QMA, QMB etc). PS: What is required to become a tutor at unsw? Do you get invited or do you have to apply somewhere?

 

[onholidays]

apply on unswbsoc.com

Yeah, I think it's tutors that need the extremely high marks, but for PASS leaders I reckon distinction would be around the marks you need.

not all, some are 3rd year students but that is rare

You'll need a distinction average at least.

^I am just touching a distinction, wondering if that's enough? Is there a lot of people who apply?

If you are touching a distinction average, then....

WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU ALWAYS WHINGING ABOUT YOUR DEGREE?

qft!

 

[chewy123]

lol? I don't whinge about my degree, I whinge about uni life.
I whinged both last semester, but after getting my results I realised how academics collude together to make subjects seem harder than it is as a way to keep competition out and force people to undergo unnecessary trainings.
And I think I was lucky last semester...

 

[onholidays]

OMG, chewy you do whinge a lot for someone whose such a high achiever...I wish i could get a dicstinction average...i mean, i know i could, but i'm too burnt out from the hsc. Is that even normal? Anyone else burnt out and sick of uni study?

Meh, your response was a typical Asian defence-mechanism of reinforcing one's insecurities towards their marks by despairing at the possibility of failure.

I but only need to observe my facebook home page to read the usual 'I'm screwed, fuck me, I've gotta stop procrastinating, blah, blah, blah'.

It's so hard having a balanced sense of intelligence that doesnt veer between outright stupidity and social alienation.

Btw Chewy, I don't have anything against you. I don't mind your whinging. It's kind of refreshing in a way. A welcome change to the constant intellectual machismo of your other law classmates.
