Hi all!

I am currently a first year at UTS' Computer Science Honours degree but I wanted to go to UNSW Computer Science. My ATAR was an 83-84'ish and my WAM is currently an 80. Would that be enough to transfer into UNSW Comp Sci at the end of the year, so far I've maintained a WAM of 80. But do you think an 80 WAM is enough or should I aim for like an 85 to 90 WAM?

Also, I have a friend in Year 12 who got Early Entry into UTS Comp Sci honours also, but he also wants to go UNSW. Should I recommend him to go to UNSW and internally transfer or go to UTS and grind a good WAM to externally transfer and not waste a year restarting a course?

Thanks!

they are just ruining people's atar. you need to get 65% to get a 70 in standard, meanwhile you only need a 55% to get a 75 in advanced.

they scale the exact same after alignment, it's just that english advanced aligns much better (raw marks to aligned marks greater).

im pre sure that even after a year of grad, uni's will still consider both atar + wam or whichever one in isolation to sus out whether it'll place u in a favourable position. ur wam is decent, and if u think u can improve it, i think u'll have a good opportunity of externally transferring
