    USYD or Macquarie? Have an urgent decision to make!

    You don't need alot of people to have a good social setting... Social setting isn't directly proportional to how many people there are. In some cases it would be better if there are less people, but it comes down to personal preference.

    If it's enough to be a placebo through an illness/suspected illness though it can't be that bad right?

    The Tennis Thread

    Re: The Official Tennis Thread I'm so glad berdych lost. He has such bad sportsmanship. Plus the ball clearly hit his shoulder. Also did you see him flinch like a girl when Nadal's serve rebounded off the wall and hit him. He looked like he was about to squeal.

    Ranks?

    Yes your atar can be higher, but it would be difficult (but not unusual) for your HSC mark to be higher than them. For example I was ranked in the bottom half of my cohort for every subject I did, without fail. 6/8 MX1, 3/4 MX2, 17/31 EngAdv, 6/11 Geog and 4/6 Physics, but then I still managed...

    New Students: What to do after receiving your offer

    Re: New Students 2012: What to do after receiving your offer No this needs to be signed only if you are doing 5 subject (worth 3 credit points each) or more. To make sure people don't do too many units and overwork themselves.

    Is it unusual to study your people and/or planet unit is your first year? At the moment I have 4 units but few contact hours, so I was thinking of doing my people unit now and free up space later in my degree. Is this a good idea? Also how do electives work. Are electives any unit you wish to...

    MQ Chatter Thread

    Just wondering is this set in stone? For example I know that you obviously don't have to study 4 units a session, but I'm doing actuarial studies, and one of the 200 level units is available to me (ACST212) as long as I get a credit in STAT171 in the first semester. Is this allowed? As in can I...

    Doe your background really affect your subject choices?

    I'm Aussie and I do all 'asian' subjects except geog. MX1, MX2, Physics and Adv Eng. I wasn't pressured into any of them. I did what interested me. Turns out I hate Physics.

    Raw Mark for 5 & 6 in past?

    well judging by my raw marks (not raw weighted marks) an 84/100 went to 91/100. So i'd guess around 82/100 for band 6 (90/100). I have no idea about band 5.

    Raw Marks + BOS mistake?

    Yeh I was in his class, he did really well. Also I spoke the the BOS guy today, and apparently (according to him) geography has optional question weighting AND it can go both up and down... but seriously for my extended responses out of 40 marks I only got 31. So that 31/40 went to 26/40...
