Bear in mind folks, this plan is all dependant on how well I go with my UAI and the influence of other variables, so I wont get too optimistic. But generally, if things keep going as they are, this is my plan.

Secondary
- Push for a 76+ UAI, preferably 80+
- On track to get well above that at the moment

Tertiary Order of preference
- SYD Social Science - 83.00? (Dont quote me on that)
- MCQ " " - 76.00
- UNSW " " - 76.10
- ARMY RESERVE - During studies I will apply for a job as an Intelligence officer at at the RAAF (Part-Time), so I have experience on my Resume for post-tertiary
- LANGUAGES: Intelligence agenceis preffer candidates with different linguos, so ill go for Russian and German (Currently have Intermediate Advanced knowledge)

Post-Tertiary Order of preference
- Apply for ASIS (Aussie Secret Intelligence Service)
- Apply for ASIO (Aussie Security Intelligence Organisation)
- Apply for AFP (Australian Federal Police)
- Apply for State Police OR Royal Aussie Air Force - Intelligence Officer

But basicly, if you havnt figured it out yet, i want to work as a Public Servant in the area of Law enforement. While people may dread at the sight of boring analytical work, I love it!!! I crave for organistion and all that. But i also like practical work and I despise computers

But yea, thats my game-plan... Havnt shared it with anyone yet, so thoughts would be helpful

Cheers,

i thought about doing that, but i'd rather get down to sydney asap and live the usyd college life, it sounds awesome.

the cutoff is 98.3ish, i highly highly doubt i'll get it, but i know i can get into straight commerce and transfer.

J'adore replacing random words with their francais translations, it makes me feel tres learned and pompous et ultimately superior to everyone around moi.

Re: Whats your dream UAI.. and what do you think you will get?

Hi everyone,

I'm aiming for a UAI of 98-99.

At the moment I'm going through my half-year exams, and I think something like 97-98 is realistic.

I'd be really happy if I actually do get at least the 95.3 I need to get into USyd / MU / UNSW Physics! :)

But I'm also looking at Shell scholarships... wonder if I could get a scholarship with a 98...

Re: Whats your dream UAI.. and what do you think you will get?

i'm really not sure about what my uai aim is, i don't know what would be realistic.
but i'm hoping to get into nursing, specifically paediatric nursing.
again, i'm not really sure how i want to go about it, because i have a friend who did enrolled nursing at tafe, got employed by a hospital, therefore got paid while she studied and is now doing registered nursing at uni.
it seems a lot more productive than doing it all at uni.
thoughts?
