Short version:
What would you choose, and why?
(then if you want, see details below to give an opinion based on my financial situation and that stuff)
Long version:
So I did the whole info day bonanza thing today..and if anything..it made me want to go to USYD even more.
But I don't have the cut off for a CSP place.
I won't state my uai here, but heres some indication - I can get into UTS CSP law/business very comfortably, I just missed UNSW CSP law/commerce, and i'm more than half a uai point off USYD CSP law/commerce. Please don't try and guess my uai, that's just not cool.
I can easily get a DFEE place (assuming the cut off doesn't go up too much) at USYD..(i'm not even considering giving UNSW a cent in a DFEE spot...), but with a mark like mine, is it worth paying in DFEE? I'd have to get FEE HELP as well..but that doesn't seem like much of a burden (correct me if i'm wrong) - they can only ever get 8% max of your taxable income..so i'd opt for that, and you can pay voluntarly into as well, to get rid of it faster.
But is it worth paying DFEE? I'd still definitely work my ass off as if I was working for a transfer from say Law at UTS to Law at Syd, to get into a CSP place (still equally competitive).
According to the people representing the law faculty at UTS..it's just as good as UNSW and USYD minus the prestige basically. But their grad employment rate is supposedly 86% - and they get the summer internships and what not just as the other uni's.
Sometimes I think Law at UTS has its advantages (the practical experience and curriculum, as well as opportunity to do PLT) - but, the question here is, would I even be batting an eyelid at UTS if I got the CSP UAI for USYD law? NO..>.>
So am I kidding myself?
OPINIONS PLEASE
(P.S. I probably missed some important stuff here..but work with me lol, i'm tired having jumped from uni to uni all day)
