You're right, this year it seems you can't. But last year you certainly could. What I find interesting is that those students who recieved UAI's of 65 had a lower failure rate than those who recieved between 85 and 90 (see here, second page). A verification that "high UAI != sucess at...

I think it's only a matter of time before all universities follow Melbourne's lead. Many have already rebranded their graduate LLB courses as JD's, and many more are reported to be planning to do so. I don't think it will be long before the LLB is phased out completely, and the graduate JD will...

It does depend on what you plan to major in, but I think that you should be fine. If not, you can always enroll in a bridging course to get up to speed with the math skills you need. However, I would check with the university for a reliable answer.

Based on anecdotal evidence from people I know who got into ANU, I would tend to agree with this. The same is true (even more so, I think) for UC. I think it is the nature of Canberra, with ~2500 Year 12 students seeking tertiary entrance each year (and many leaving for other universities) and...

There are practically no "exclusive" or "elitist" universities in Australia, as almost all universities are public. Students receive their UAI, apply to their chosen universities and universities distribute their quota of offers to students based on their UAI- hence the Australian system is...

Although all rankings are intrinsically subjective and controversial, I would tend to agree with the following (as a general guide): Without a doubt Melbourne and Monash are the most prestigious, with Melbourne slightly more so than Monash. It is important to remember, however, that the...

Transfers usually use the NRSL index (50% UAI and 50% first year university results). As an integer, the NRSL index required is almost always lower than the UAI required. If you are only 0.25 below the cut off for your desired course, you have a very high chance of successfully transferring...

ADFA is in Canberra, so you will have to move to the ACT if you wish to go there. Pilots study for the Bachelor of Technology (Aviation) and need to pass an aptitude test. The UAI requirement is 85. Because of the cost of training a pilot (I have heard as high as $9m) you will have to serve in...

Forgive me, but what are you talking about?

Well, this sparked a deja vu. Stick to the one thread, maybelle6, opening many of them regarding the same subject is rather pointless! Good luck with everything, there are some very useful suggestions in the other thread.

I sent you a PM. Really? I know that ANU is one of the few universities that actually guarantees accomodation for its first years. I agree. If you are from Melbourne (or anywhere else that isn't Canberra) then you might want to stay there and go to a local university if you miss out on...

I've heard this before, but nothing on the ANU website says this is so (nothing I can find, anyway). I think it would be rather stupid for them to restrict it to only single degrees, especially in the context of you being forced to do a straight instead of combined law. There is no concrete...

I don't actually know, my assumption was based upon ANU's claim that "if ... you score in the top 20% you may receive an offer to a degree that has a higher cut off". So the question is, does that mean scoring in the top 20% of your cohort or an overall mark of...

The thing with Commerce/Law is that USyd's edge in law is almost nullified by UNSW's edge in commerce. For this reason, I personally would go to whichever university I was closest to. If they are equally close, then pick (as gman03 said) whichever made the best impression when you visited the...

I think that the majority of people sitting the uniTEST will be people who scored in the low 70s (who are aiming for the generic courses with cut-offs of 75) and the low 90s (who are aiming for law or actuarial studies with cut-offs of 95). Hopefully for you there are lots of the former, meaning...

You certainly stand a chance seeing as your UAI is within 5 points of the cut-off, and ANU claims that "if your UAI/Entrance Rank is within 5 points of the cut off and you score in the top 20%, you may receive an offer to a degree that has a higher cut...

Yes. At the end of the year you can apply to transfer into full-time Business/Law via UAC.

Although USyd is undoubtedly a more pretigious law school than UTS, I really don't think the difference is worth what you would be paying each year (or paying down the track) in DFEE fees. I think that you should definately go to UTS, work really hard, and then apply to transfer to USyd or...

Unfortunately, I doubt the cut-off will drop below 95. However if you are keen to do law, there are two things you should do right away. Firstly, if you have good English results, you should write a letter to the law faculty (as per this page, second line). Secondly, although it is now too late...

If you want to do the advanced BA, then go for it. But, as Frigid said, if you are completely sure that you want to do law right away then it would probably be a good idea to enroll at different university. UTS is a good law school. The only reasons I would go down the graduate law path are...
