Marks, and interview or a letter of recommendation.

There is no association between transferring and applying for a scholarship. Usually summer research projects/scholarships are available for second and third year students only.

I did relatively shit through my first 2 years. It wasn't until my 3rd year that I cracked the 90+ average. :( Edit: I'm sure you're going to do very well based on your UAI. :p

Generally you are at uni attending lectures, tut and lab for about 24 hrs a week. So at home, you should do the equivalent amount of time of studying, excluding time spent on doing assignments (probably will get you a HD average). For Honours, it is entirely self-directed learning plus lab...

Hi everyone. Don't get too stressed. You will find out the cut-offs in a few days! **Note** Usually, the "cut-off" is the UAI achieved by the last person who was given an offer into the course for each round. For example, if I got a UAI of 95.70, and I was the last person who's got an offer...

Are you sure those are not the people with the EAS scheme?

Emma, please don't stress! It's not worth stressing over, save the stressing when the uni exams come. I'm being serious. :p What everyone are trying to tell you is B Psyc = B Sc (Psyc) There is 0.1% Difference!! In either case you will STILL have to do non-psyc subjects. In both case...

Hons students probably get more pay than non-Hons students because you are more experienced, hence more pay. :)

Generous scaling? I don't think it exists in the School of BABS. :(

Yep. Summer scholarships are the best option to try and experience what research is really like. I did two and liked both. You also learn about how a lab works. :)

No you don't get paid. It's just an additional year of work so you can graduate with "Honours" instead of a Pass degree. Normally the classes of Honours are determined by your final marks (First class = 85+, Second Class I = 75+ etc) How many hours you work in the lab is entirely up to you...

With a B MedSc you can find non-research related jobs in the hospital, doing diagnostics tests, specimens processing, lab testing etc. The Honours year is research.

Still, a 15 sec ad cost like tens of thousands!

I see the UNSW Computing Ad on TV everyday! Seriously! The UNSW Computing department must be rich or something...

Well, it depends what subjects you do really. You could do the same subjects in your Adv Science degree as the Medical science degree.

The final exam is always the hardest. You have 13-14 weeks of materials to learn and times that by 4 (usually 4 different subjects). So expect to cram a lot! Final exams are usually worth 50%.

A HD average is 85+ I think the number of hrs increase as the years go by. First year is not too bad (probably don't need 24-25 hrs a week of studying). Each uni uses different textbooks so I can't say. Each subject has its own textbook. Some have no textbook.

There are around 24-25 hrs a week for med science. And for studying, if you are aiming for a HD average, you probably need to spend the equivalent amount of time studying at home (24-25hr a week), excluding time spent on doing assessments. I am majoring in Medical micro and immuno so I learn...

I hate to say this, but it's completely wrong. Both B Psyc and B Sc (major Psyc) will result in the same specialisation and there is virtually NO difference between the two, except in B Psy, thereis 1 Psyc subject limited only to B Psy students. Other than that, you will graduate both with a...

Case two is correct.
