What will your UAC preferences be?? (2 Viewers)

[the name i want]

hey i was wondering if you are able to get into a uni based purely on your portfolio?

 

[Poad]

Its a bit like arts but you get to choose from science electives as well.

Ahh, interesting. That looks.. good.

Any reason why Sydney Uni is more popular than UNSW for Commerce (Liberal Studies)?

EDIT: And, also, whats the benefits of doing it over just a normal Commerce degree?

Sydney's Commerce (Liberal Studies) is older than UNSW (the first students who studied Com lib studies at UNSW still have not graduated, so there's no figures on employment rates, starting salaries et al).

The USYD course is also far more flexible in that there is only 1 compulsory course. UNSW has 6, and is probably far too similar to a generic Bcommerce (first year subjects are identical), but with more electives for arts and science.

Bachelor of Commerce at Macquarie. That's all I've really got. lulz.

i think lolz would be more appropriate in this situation

 

[Zephyrio]

MBBS USyd :help:
MBBS UNSW :help:

Really, it's like doing commerce/arts, but you also get the option of sciency subjects if you are more science oriented.

My cousin is doing comm(lib studies) at UNSW, and shes majoring in human resources, so this semester shes doing a psychology course. You can do extra maths courses if you want.

 

[Poad]

Ahh cool.

Thanks for the info Bob and Midi.

Is anybody else having problems registering on the UAC website? It doesn't seem to want to let me pay. Is it just my computer or is there something wrong with the system?

And if I eventually can apply I'll probably go:
Law/Arts at USyd
Law/Arts at UNSW
Law/Journalism at UTS
Law/Something at ANU
Law/Something at Macquarie
Arts at Sydney

But I'm thinking of adding something between Mac and the last one, because it's a drop of about 20marks. Maybe Wollongong or UWS, but I don't really want to go there.

I wanted to go to Sydney Uni but I realised its in Redfern! lol

it's near redfern, it isn't actually in redfern. but that shouldn't figure into your decision anyway, the only particularly dodgy area in redfern is the Block which you don't need to go near to get to the station or whatever.

 

[sirfeathers]

Well at the moment...

1. BSc(Adv Maths)/ BA at UNSW
2. BSc(Adv)/ BA at Usyd
3. BSc/BA at ANU
4. BSc(Adv)/ BEc at Usyd

[aussiechick007]

the only things that matter is that you are prepared to do all of those courses (at least to start with) should you get in, and that they are in the order that you most want to do them
