You are correct in that the lowest accepted UAI of a course becomes the cut-off for that course for a given year. However, you are not correct in saying those cut-offs have been inflated by 2 points due to HSC-plus. The cut-offs are already determined when enough students filled the normal quota...

Well done Tim and ichiraku for getting amazing Micro 1 mid session results!

5 people dropping out or lost interest from the BPsych program is surprisingly high! Considering there are only 50-60 of you to begin with.

I haven't done these two subjects but they certainly sound interesting! I would have done them if I had to chance of doing them. Are you interested in transferring to Optometry?

A science degree with Honours by itself is normally sufficent to get ja ob as a research assistant in laboratories and hospitals, leading towards a research career. Many students, therefore, choose to go on and complete a PhD to gain jobs in more prominent positions such as a postdoctoral...

Well, I wouldn't say 99.9999999999999% even for first years. Maybe half?! Many students go on and complete a second bachelor or masters degree in pharmacy, dentistry and optometry. A significant proportion of students, like me, go on to complete a PhD. I agree with you that the competition is...

lol.. so I'm one of those 0.0000000000001%. :D

The micr mid-session was not hard at all. There was really only 1 trick question asking about why E. coli was oxidase positive. Many students didn't know E. coli was suppose to be Oxidase negative.

What would you like to know about the course? First year is generally ok just because it is basic science (chem, bio). The degree gets better and better from 2nd year onward because you are specialising into your area of interest. In terms of difficulty, it entirely depends on your subject...

Showing polarity means cells have an apical and a basal surface that rest on a basal lamina. As to why some cells have a polarised appearance and others do not, I think it has to relate to their structure-function. For example, intestinal epithelial cells lining the intestine all showed a...

It's pretty much the same. Specialised cells are differentiated cells.

Isn't there a binding machine in the print station next to the coffee shop (next to block house)?

All third year microbiology subjects are fun. Third year microbiology is much better than what you are doing now. Most courses are more structured and more prepared because the courses have been there for a long time. Microbiology 1 is a bit unorganised at the moment because they had to teach it...

According to the newsletter, badabagan will be turned into yum cha from July.

Pharmacy is not avilable at UNSW anyway.

Really? The wet prac exam was hard? But we were shown how to do everything! Anyway, I remember I drew my absorbance curve wrong but still got 95%. :D

Wait till you see the final exam questions. :D

I'm pretty sure you don't need to study "as soon as you get home" or " studying while walking (holding textbook in hand)" to get a HD average. :D Commerce people usually get so much time off (spare time) I'm pretty sure you can do well if you study regularly and keep up-to-date on your work...

Two students were on equal nineth.

The answer is D
