    Why do so many people boast about their UAI?

    By 'from all reports' you mean from all reports except that of the 4th year med science student?

    Fuck Broncos season was so disappointing. Led the division from week 1 to week 16, then lost the lead week 17 and missed playoffs. First team since division play began to miss playoffs after leading division by 3 games with 3 weeks to go. And had seven running backs on injured reserve. In...

    MQ or USYD???

    Just because the UAI cutoff is lower doesn't mean the students are any worse. There will be people in the course with an 82 cutoff who got much higher. Similarly to AsyLum's example, assume a hypothetical course with 50 places. The first 49 places may be taken by people with UAI's 99+, where the...

    does ur school rank really affect ur mark?

    There was an interesting section in Freakonomics (which is an awesome book that everyone should read) about the effect the school has on results. They pretty much concluded that the school you go to doesn't have a great effect on results. Although people who change to 'better' schools tend to...

    questions re: UAI and psychology

    Why would you need to? It's no different to a ba-psych or bsc-psych with honours

    questions re: UAI and psychology

    I think he means once you do honours in science, so you do 4 years either way. And at macquarie you can become accredited through either ba-psych, bsc-psych or bpsych. Also, at USyd, you can become accredited as long as you major in psych provided you do a specific 3rd year unit

    I think Mereweather is shit, and you'll be spending a lot of time there. But the buildings shouldn't factor in to your decision imo

    does ur school rank really affect ur mark?

    You go to a really bad school, with people there make fun of you if you get less than 95, and you're surprised that your external marks are lower than your internals?

    UAI - UNSW combined law for 2009ers

    If anything I'd say cutting DFEE would push cutoffs up, as the only real difference (as far as I can tell) is that some people who get in between USyd and UNSW cutoffs no longer have the option to DFEE at Sydney. Although this wouldn't make much difference, I think law at UTS, Mac, etc. would be...

    Can u drop to a single degree from double degree???

    You'll need to wait till end of first year and apply for an internal course transfer. While I think you're supposed to do a mix of business and the other course, I know a friend of mine did only business courses for first year and is trying to transfer from business/it into business
