absolutely amazing, finally set on either civil engineering/ commerce unsw or civil eng/ mining eng at unsw. Depending on ATAR. Bloody eng/comm 96.40 -.-
What are you thinking of majoring in if you end up doing Commerce?

Initially, I wanted to do straight commerce, and major in both accounting and finance, however combining it with civil eng I think finance would be most appropriate and enjoyable.

It's not my cup of tea I have to admit, but best of luck.

Hahaha, oh my. If only it were that simple, I'd prefer being on the safer side of things and attaining at least a 94 ATAR. But I'm not too sure, 92-93 should be easy - so if that could get me in I'd be over the moon haha.

trust me when i say the atar cut off won't go up to 99

so 94 is over the top in terms of safety atars
but w/e man
go ahead and waste some effort if you want

I doubt such effort would prove to be a waste... in fact, very little effort would need to be put in to achieve a 94. But thank you, hopefully you're right.

Really depends on your electives you choose and luck I guess. Most of my friends only go Uni twice a week

Plus if I end up in UNSW I'll be there all 5 days because the library was amazing plus there are really good beach only 2a0 min away, So I'll mostly likely be spending most of my time thereafter, since I live in the western subs
Hahahaha yeh you do have a point!!
hope i can be as lucky as your friendss!!
the people i know, go to uni 4 days a week D: howw terrible HAHAHHA
wohooo so pumped for year 12 and uni nwos :DD

Is there an ANU open day, I'd go there :)
Yeah I went to it, it was on the 25th of Aug.

And lol, weather atrocious??? You Sydney people must have high weather standards. It was the first time I had been somewhere that wasn't popsicle cold in Aus for months! It was like recently -1 around where I live. And I had no trouble getting a park :D Though if I lived in Syd I would take public transport.

I really liked UNSW Open Day. I think I even saw one of you at Philosophy.

Free stuff was good, advisory centre people were enthusiastic and informative, Physics and Adv. Sci lectures were nice. A particular standout for me was the Computer Science lecture by Richard Buckland. That guy seemed really passionate about the subject and proud of his faculty and students. +Respect. I would love to have a lecturer like him when I do Adv. Science/Arts.

Edit: Also, psychology and philosophy was alright. Maybe I was negatively biased on Phil because I've already considered all of the content before, so it didn't feel as fresh.
