Waiting to do masters ( such as a MBA) and potentially having your employer pay for it would probably be more beneficial longer term.

Business Analytics is probably more useful.

Interesting, I thought accounting would be more useful.

Considering you're studying accounting, your view is probably biased xD

Accounting is. I thought they were deciding between including finance or analytics with accounting.

Is there anything I should put on my UAC application to increase my chances of getting an early offer? Got stellar grades in year 11, hoping to do applied finance or double degree with applied finance at macquarie. Wanna get an offer so I can relax a bit pls.

Just apply for everything and goodluck. I didnt apply for early entry, I just put applied finance as my preference. I ended up getting an offer around late November or early December, so way before first round of offers usually come out.

My mate got like an 80.xx atar and he got accepted into applied finance / comm (accounting) which was an 88 atar, so dont stress too much. If you get like 85+ you will probably end up getting an early offer.

Any sport/volunteering/leadership positions? Might be eligible for the early entry through GLP?

Nah afraid not. I'm self employed and most of my time is sucked up by it

I put in an email for a unit that I thought was poorly taught (particularly, probably just the tutor's fault) at Week 5 or so, in which the tutor was rude to students, and basically had very uninteresting lessons on a weekly basis. This complaint has not been addressed at all i.e. no replies, and seemed to be entirely neglected as my requests to move tutorials or basically change the tutor (the tutor from Week 1 was changed to this one) were not met.
Over the entire semester he barely remembers names of his students, and continued to use concepts from finance when very clearly most of the class did not study applied finance or further finance from the first-year unit. It was the last straw for me when I tried to ask a question and he gave me a rude reply. Haven't been to his tutes since Week 8 and will be seeing him the first time since when I have my in-class test this week.

I wrote a huge fucking email complaining to the unit convenor and it just really concerns me that units are allowed to do this especially when we're spending money to pay for the course and they're paid to teach it.

 

[pistachioman]

Cant you just move to another tutorial class through estudent?

 

[ProdigyInspired]

Nope, most units disallow moving to another tutorial after Week 2-3.

ACCG308. IMO the iLearn, lectures and resources are okay, but tutorials were horrible for me. Literally felt like I was wasting my time every week.

Long time, no see! Turns out I ended up dropping some subjects, so I'll be around in 2020. At first I didn't mind, but then I realized what the changes were to the curriculum in 2020. No- we aren't getting trimesters. It's worse.

Look at the degree outlines for 2020, not 2019.
Arts: https://courses.mq.edu.au/2020/domestic/undergraduate/bachelor-of-arts
Commerce.

Also, it's no longer 3 cps. It's 10.

What's happening is that certain subjects are getting cut, they'll be compulsory units for EVERY student in the Arts faculty, no People or planet units, no crossover majors (ie that B.Commerce where your second major was International Relations? Not happening anymore!). There's a compulsory unit/s for Business and Science students as well.

Knowing Macquarie, they'll tell everyone these changes in Session 2. You know, after the census date and people have already paid for their courses. Urgh. After this current semester, I'll have 8 subjects to go. Could finish up at another university.
