    general UNSW chit-chat

    It was subconscious but lulz, cwotididthere? Yeah, no water bottles. The first time around, the security guard on the right (as you enter) told me to throw it away, so i just said i'm not going in. I then hid my bottle in another compartment of my bag, and entered the other line where i...

    Which subject is more "prestigious" - English Extension 2 or Mathematics Extension 2?

    Re: Which subject is more "prestigious" - English Extension 2 or Mathematics Extensio Ok i should rephrase that then. Lower candidature means that it is 'more difficult' to get into EE2. I understand (and have seen it happen in 4 separate cases in high schools across NSW) the fact that EE2...

    Re: Which subject is more "prestigious" - English Extension 2 or Mathematics Extensio HAHAHA you actually made a fool of yourself with that post, but it's been overlooked by others (until now). Anywho, if you're going to deconstruct my post (which you didn't: instead making broad...

    Summer clerkships

    Unfortunately, i don't think this program is open to UWS students. This was stated on their site. I applied here http://www.blakedawson.com/Templates/Generic/x_generic_content_page.aspx?id=52389. edit: what frigid said

    Which subject is more "prestigious" - English Extension 2 or Mathematics Extension 2?

    Re: Which subject is more "prestigious" - English Extension 2 or Mathematics Extensio Oh i'm going to love correcting the misconceptions. While i agree with both your comments that English (in particular standard) has increasingly become shall we say 'more reductive', i believe part of...

    Band 6 Sample Response

    Your teacher would need to be aware that the model responses for the 2004 HSC would probably not be very applicable for the 2008 because they have since amended the aims and requirements of the advanced syllabus module b 'slightly'. As can be seen in this link...

    What will your UAC preferences be??

    Looking at your progressive ranks, i think you're guaranteed to achieve Comm (lib studies) @ UNSW; even if you miss the published cut-off you'll get 5 bonus points for sure :) Just a quick observation though - being as neutral as possible - your 1st preference *may* be just outside your...

    Thoughts on Paper 1 of the CSSA Trial Exam

    Well, i'm not too sure about the marking system at your school, but generally the 'immigrant story' is a hackneyed plot and cliche in the HSC. You won't believe how many asian and italian (no doubt inspired by some schools' junior focus on Looking for Alibrandi) immigrant stories are produced!

    Powerplay - Related Texts

    You go to King's, yes? Using prescribed texts from your preliminary english extension one. Not very original (at least for trials) :o The strongest powerplay related texts (for the purposes of the external HSC exam) are normally those that people are less likely to use, as you can apply more...

    what percentage of uni students go on to do hons?

    In my third year 'pre-honours' english subject at UNSW, when the lecturer asked us who was thinking about going on and doing honours 2 out of 20 in the seminar raised their hand. So i'd say (in my course and uni at least) closer to 10% of students end up in honours. Sounds about right from...

    Selective Schools: Good or Bad?

    You didn't consider the political agendas, socio-cultural paradigms of recognised achievement and modern society's fixations upon tangible results. Just like there are talented student programs at public and independent/private schools, so there are selectives. "b) Selective school...
