ohh yeah, i dont know i just wanna do it, i wanna do it since yr 10 hahaha
wanna work on the middle of the ocean, digging the crud oil, and it's really cool job in my home country (thailand)
like each year only 15 people can get to petroleum engineering in thailand

but . .. when all the oil run out = i'm screwed XD

Petroleum engineering also involves gas extraction so it will still be a very viable career path in the long-term.

Haha, nice.
at least u have 1 goal to aim for, i have know idea what to do =(
Maybe adv. science into med but that's extremely hard :$ only 5 students are accepted through transfer each year.

These are my preferences. Wish I could do Economics/Law at USYD or UNSW, but I have no hope of getting an ATAR that high

1. Business/Laws @ UTS
2. Social Science/Laws @ MQ
3. Commerce/Laws @ MQ
4. Economics/Arts @ UNSW
5. Commerce/Arts @ USYD
6. Economics @ USYD
7. Political, Economic and Social Sciences @ USYD

Thanks!

For us..next year

what are these people doing Advanced Maths/Arts at the wrong uni

The 'closer' argument for me is valid...

What are the pros and cons of Usyd vs UNSW? (they are the two closest ones for me..) SWAY ME SHADOWDUDE!

 

[lvella10]

Medicine courses, Advanced Studies Nursing Usyd, Physiotherapy ACU/Usyd, Bachelor of science - Neuroscience major

Lets see the pros and cons of advances maths

Sydney
Pros- Doesn't have shadowdude
Cons- Is close

UNSW
Pros- good uni
Cons- has shadowdude

 

[asianese]

Ohhh...I'm gonna go UNSW now, convinced aye

What degree?

Honestly I think you need to feel a university. Go to the open days, walk around, see the type of people, listen to the lecturers talk,etc.

In the bigger scheme of things it won't make a difference.

How hard is psychology at USYD?

(I have a few friends doing it)

It's not super hard but its not super easy.

 

[asianese]

Yeah I'm definitely going to the open days since I missed them last year...

Maths/Arts **

 

[Riproot]

My ideas of what I want to do change every couple of weeks, so I'll probably be editing my preferences a lot

Currently I'm looking at doing Arts/Science (Advanced or Advanced Mathematics) at USYD, most likely majoring in Philosophy, Physics and/or Mathematics.

all physics majors swap to engineering sooner or later, why not just give in now?!

what are these people doing Advanced Maths/Arts at the wrong uni

Sydney uni have better Maths and arts departments.

Their arts department is actually like the best, and their Maths is better than UNSW. Soz.

But you live in Castle Hill... I don't understand this 'USyd is closer' argument

It's like... train to Redfern then walk for 20 minutes, or train to Central and take a bus to uni (which takes about 20 minutes)

The walk from redfern to carslaw (Maths/science building) is on google maps as 16 minutes, but it's actually ~10.

Or, you can go to central and catch a bus for ~10 minutes.

Not really... the worst I've had was perhaps half an hour. But there was lots of roadwork on High St then.

Usually around 20 minutes. So if I have a 10am class, I aim to get to Central at 9:40 so I get to class on time.


You'll find most times it's around 20 minutes... on average.

I usually get to redfern at 8:55 or 9 for my 9am classes and still get there on time.

Yay.

These are my preferences. Wish I could do Economics/Law at USYD or UNSW, but I have no hope of getting an ATAR that high

Ask your principal for the AAA scholarship now.
You get 5 bonus points for any degree except med at UNSW.

How hard is psychology at USYD?

It pretty competitive because everyone wants to do honours but as long as you try hard you should be fine.

The 'closer' argument for me is valid...

The UNSW Arts faculty is no competitor for USyd's from what I've heard.

Also, advanced maffs at USyd doesn't force you into an honours year.
Also, UNSW take too many people into their advanced Maths degrees so they don't have enough spots for honours and will probably not be as welcoming if you aren't one of the very top students, whereas as USyd you can do crap in one subject and as long as you don't fail they won't kick you out straight away.

Nah, I'm looking at pursuing a career in astronomy, so a physics major should be good for that. I had considered doing aerospace engineering at USYD for a little bit, and while it certainly sounds interesting I don't think it would be much benefit, especially in an Australian context.
