Ever occur to you that he may be trolling with "her" profile data? Perhaps some of his posts? Don't take everything on here too seriously.Are you stupid? how is it shit? its one one the most prestigious universities in Australia, but even apart from that its the highest ranking uni in New South Wales. But more importantly it say on your account that you are doing a bachelor of Visual Arts, so your argument is invalid:L especially on engineering. Furthermore your probably in denial, because you didn't get accepted in, cmon no one goes to that much length to bring down another uni, then again i can't blame you, you're doing a visual arts degree you must be high all the time
Also, just saying, Usyd don't have a particularly high cut off for engineering (well iirc civil is slightly higher than UNSW) and with software engineering at least I know of people getting offers with low 80s ATARs (who subsequently went to UTS). I don't mean that as a bad thing, in fact it's common for people to rack up a tonne of bonus points (area, subject, questionnaire) for UTS and get into engineering with mid 70s ATARs. UNSW have FEAS or stuff like material science engineering with significantly lower cut offs. Anyway my point is that engineering at any uni is not some exclusive, prestigious thing. It's common for engineering students at either UTS, UNSW or USyd to have ATARs well in excess of the cut off at any of the three universities.
The good thing with the practice program is it is split into two internships and you get some experience towards the begining of your course, the 3 month work placement is usually done towards the very end. I've heard some people end up changing majors or even switching courses completely after realising during their first internship that what they were doing just wasn't for them. Admittedly there is nothing stopping a student from taking time off uni elsewhere to do a random 6 month internship (besides potential scheduling problems in future) or doing summer internships.I don't really rate that to be honest. Given engineering grads from all uni's have to do 3 months work placement it really isn't much of an advantage given it means the degree takes a year longer.
