"brother"... You know full well how the ATAR system works.

Imagine what an engineering or science timetable would look like if you couldn't have back to back classes (there's normally 25 class hours, without breaks). :blink2:

You would have benefited going to the uni open days. Eco and CS are very different from each other and require different skill sets. Eco is definitely more essay, analytic based, whereas CS is logic, programming, design thought processed. Eco requires you to understand data (e.g. understanding...

If you got those marks in some schools, you would be looking at a 97+ ATAR. It depends on the standard of assessment, the standard of marking and if you will improve on your performance or understand where you went wrong.

Sounds like a fairly standard first semester. Maximise completion? It's important for you to get the prerequisite and core courses out of the way first before moving on or moving too far down a path. You can probably worry more about it in Semester 2. You still need to maintain a certain...

Both are different fields that have offerings in the Big 4. The degree won't dictate your job prospects or salary or progression. It would better if you chose something you'll be good at. What good is a subpar graduate to a Big 4?

Assuming nothing has changed, you need to create/verify your identity here: https://idm.unsw.edu.au/idm/user/newUser/validateNewUser.jsp After that, you sign into https://my.unsw.edu.au/ and accept your offer.

You'd need like 40%. You should certainly aim higher as the benefits of higher marks can help offset low marks in another course.

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 You will get on the Dean's Honours List but not the Dean's Awards List.

You can even get 97+ without any Band 6s. 89 in Eng Adv, Math Ext 1, Math Ext 2, Phys and Chem would give around 97.2. This is also a good reason why school ranks are not that effective. A school could get 500th but every student could have an ATAR above 97, since (unofficial) school ranks...

Due to bonus points, EAS etc. If you put your guaranteed offer first, you will get that offer and therefore you won't be considered for your other preferences. You pretty much ignore everything else unless you move those above your guaranteed offer. If you happen to be offered one of those...

When you accept your offer.

You have shown no interest in Law. Just because you have the marks, it doesn't mean you have to go straight to the top. A good reason for doing Law is that you are actually interested in it. What UNSW Co-op is that? Information Systems is very different to Construction Management.

Thousands of students do that combination each year and end up with jobs. Don't worry about it. All that matters is that you're interested in both degrees.

48.5 goes down to 47.3 but 47.3 is equivalent to an ATAR of around 99.70. So 48/50 is probably between 99.65 to 99.70 depending on the actual raw mark. I highly doubt MX1 will be the limiting factor. He needs to gain literally 1 to 1.5 raw marks to get a 99.95 equivalent mark, but runs of the...

Can you explain why it's worth it?

It might be useful in obtaining an internship, which will then lead onto further internship and graduate opportunities. Certainly work to gain money to support yourself, but ultimately, it's the relevant internships that you will be leveraging on to gain further employment.

Remember it's your latest attempt that counts. You're already capping the scaled mark at 48/50 and it doesn't matter if it's 48/50 or 96/100 - your marks are scaled out of 50. The only reason why you might want to repeat is to achieve a state rank. Other than that, there is no tangible...

The majority of students receive their offers in the Main Round. Unless your application was specifically an early round offer, even with a guaranteed entry scheme, you need to wait until the Main Round of offers.

Scaling is only dependent on the quality of the candidature. If a course scales poorly, it means the cohort on average performed worse in their other subjects compared to that subject. In the eyes of UAC, they perceive the course as having students who are poor performers on average so their...
