Law at UTS or UNSW (1 Viewer)

[ark18]

Hi all,
My dream degree is law at UNSW. I have received 94.45 ATAR and LAT 70 and have secured an early entry offer for double Law at UTS. I am keen to do law at UNSW but not sure if I will get in with my ATAR. What are the chances of getting into Law at UNSW with my score.

What is the best option:

Option 1 - Take the offer for Law at UTS since it's a Law degree
Option 2 - Enroll in another course (commerce or arts) at UNSW and try for internal transfer into Law at UNSW in year 2.

Would really appreciate your feedback.

Thanks

Hey! Very similar situation here, i have a 96.1 ATAR and 80 LAT which i'm not sure will make it into UNSW law either (law/criminology there has been my dream degree). I'm considering UTS law too. After speaking to many people it seems like if you really want to end up in UNSW law, maybe just begin there with the degree you want it to be combined with (for me it would be criminology) as internal transfers are relatively easier than external transfers (i'm pretty sure there's no loss of time either with this). However taking the UTS law offer is also a safe idea because you're guaranteed to be able to have a law degree, as if you begin at UNSW there's still the risk of not being eligible to transfer into law in year 2. I can't really say what's the better option because i'm still deciding myself haha but am glad i'm not alone.

I personally would just do law at UTS
But it really is up to you. Do you think you'd be satisfied doing law at UTS? Or do you think you'll always be thinking about UNSW law since you said it was your dream degree.

You could always do a different course as your undergraduate and then do Juris Doctor at UNSW postgraduate. But that would be much longer and probably a different experience to undergraduate law so maybe not the most ideal.

im in the same position as u im uncertain whether i can get in but personally i would do option 2 bc:
- it is easier to internal transfer than external bc if ur already a unsw student u dont need to sit the LAT which i tried twice but did not too good either times
- im sure uts is good for law but ive heard the job market still cares about which uni u came from so i feel like unsw would be slightly more beneficial in that aspect
- unsw lawsoc seems rlly fun
