band 5/6 in advanced english = +2
band 4 in advanced english = +1
band 3/4 in english ext 1 = +2
band 2 in english ext 1 = +1
band 3/4 in english ext 2 = +2
band 2 in english ext 2 = +1
band 5/6 in maths = +2 (not general maths)
band 4 in maths = +1
band 3/4 in maths ext 1 = +2
band 2 in maths ext 1 = +1
band 3/4 in maths ext 2 = +2
band 2 in maths ext 2 = +1

However you cannot get these points if you are doing commerce/law, eco/law or commerce (international)

RRRR! You got me so excited. I was like band 5/6 in english - I'm there!

I heard you get +2 at UNSW entry if you get a band 5/6 in english and another +2 for band 5/6 in mathematics at the school of business.

Can anyone verify?

Yes. Known to be HSCPlus. Check it out on their website.

 

[Wooz]

brb studyin engrish.

When'd they implement that scheme? UWS must be low on students or something.

UWS is a huge uni and has an extremely large law school accross two campuses' and provides a large number over 130+ law internship placements, more than most uni's i think. They have also artificially kept many uai placements low through schemes such as the bonus points to give more students from Greater Western Sydney a chance to be the first in their family to attend university, as over 70% of their applicants are attending university for the first time in their family.

I know this sounds lame, but why don't you do arts for the first year, then maybe you will have a better idea of what your want. Or you could do a double, maybe arts/comm?

 

[Justina]

hmm, yeah see, i was considering doing BA/Bcomm, but im scared i might not get the marks, i would really love to get into one of the top uni's. But the idea of a double degree sounds good.

 

[lolcal]

1. Comm (Lib Studies) @ USyd
2. Commerce @ USyd
3. Commerce/Arts @ USyd
4. Economics @ USyd
5. Economic and Social Sciences @ USyd
6. Business @ UTS

i kind of feel like putting b bus/law @ uts in there but i know i won't get 97, whatever i get i'll be trying to transfer out of and into comm (liberal studies) at usyd regardless.

how hard is it to transfer courses?

 

[veloc1ty]

Depends on the course.

 

[Jachie]

[runnable]

idk

Lol :burn:


I heard that transferring is quite easy at uni. Provided you have the marks.

 

[Poad]

What exactly is Liberal Studies anyway? (In conjunction with Commerce...)

 

[midifile]

What exactly is Liberal Studies anyway? (In conjunction with Commerce...)

Its a bit like arts but you get to choose from science electives as well.

 

[danz90]

What should I consider as alternative courses that are compatible with Pharmacy - i.e. A course from which I would be able to transfer to BPharm @ USyd if I don't get offered a place..

 

[BackCountrySnow]

med sci.

 

[danz90]

med sci.

How about B.Science or B.Science (Adv) majoring in Pharmacology?

 

[BackCountrySnow]

Yeaah that sounds like the next best thing.
You could pick that up and try to transfer into pharm.
