It's already been said but just to confirm as long as you get the score to get into one of the uni's listed in the contract or if not specified any course with an accounting/information systems major, that you can study part time, which will allow you to be eligible for the CA program once completed they should be fine with it.
)
If you're already in uni, then I assume your uni marks will also be considered but you need to already be doing the right courses/etc.
You don't have to be rude about it, it is not solely focused on academics compared to the UNSW Co-op etc.
Yeah, im doing B Commerce (majoring in accounting) at Mac Uni, so far im doing Accounting 1A, Techniques and elements of finance, Management Principles and Introductory Stats. Im getting Credits for Management and Accounting (probably be Distinction after the assignment tho) and HDs in statisitcs and finance. Also these arent my final score fo these subjects, would it matter that they are not?
I think it would be better to be on the safe side, and say, my current marks for these are blah blah blah, and then state that your final grades will be released in early July or whenever. I know most subjects I've done have had 50% or more on the final exam, so it's very hard to say what most people's final marks will be, because it can so easily change if you screw up, or do fantastic, in exams.
Ohk thanks, got my STAT assignment back today, not good. Brings it down to Distinction nowI think it would be better to be on the safe side, and say, my current marks for these are blah blah blah, and then state that your final grades will be released in early July or whenever. I know most subjects I've done have had 50% or more on the final exam, so it's very hard to say what most people's final marks will be, because it can so easily change if you screw up, or do fantastic, in exams.
That being said, if you can I'd wait until you know your results to apply. I think some applications close before then, so I'd include the disclaimer on your grades
. And my finals weightings are: Management = 40%, Techniques/elements of finance = 50%, Accounting and Statistics = 60%. Im confident i can get atleast 80 for both Accounting and Finance, i think i can get atleast a 75 for statistics, just worried about management. And yes results come in July. thanks for input
Let's not kid ourselves here though, whilst academics aren't the main or sole factor at either cadetship, intern or graduate level, they are of some importance as they are not only indicative of your ability to do well in the education system but are a proxy for your ability and willingness to learn/commit yourself to learning.
Pretty much this.Most kids now seem to have a mentality that the ATAR is something that defines you for the rest of the life, trust me once you step into uni all that changes just like it changes when you go in for a job. Sure you need to show a certain degree of achievement to be considered, however I know many people holding key positions in companies that actually have minor academic achievements.
I got into the Game Changers club for EY this year and had a chance to meet some of the other kids, they were all either from Melbourne Uni or Monash (so Atars of 90+) and I can tell you now half of them even if they did try to apply wouldn't get cadetship. Firstly there were those who asked the presenter questions however were so nervous that you could barely understand them, so they would most probably crack when it came to the partner interview stage. Then afterwards when we interacted with some of the employees most people seemed to just shut off and not really interact at all with the graduates and recruiters.
What I am trying to say is that you have to really be an all rounded person and posses traits beyond the academics.
I pretty much wrote that for my own self confidence as much for the rest of you Lmao.
Best of luck to all
There's no hard and fast rule on this and it'll vary by firm to firm. There may even be last minute changes to who is available to do interviews on the day for other factors (e.g. client meeting comes up, partner is unwell, etc). I wouldn't think too much about it. For what it's worth, in my experience it's usually someone in the area but not necessarily the industry specialisation that you've applied for.
Hard to say but I guess given you're still so early on, your HSC marks/results are probably more relevant since they are locked down.
