hahah dude you need a life i see on these threads so much just trying to bash usyd maths probably due to some inferiority complex

yes it does, open up the gumleaf mark distribution. the average subject's average grade is 70

the fact UNSW average mark for an average subject is 70 as per their site usyd is 65 inflation is a loose term here that i made up, but taken from america where they have GPA inflation. lots of schools giving out higher grades over time

i think unsw's wam inflation is a more relevant concern but okay

i do stats at usyd, but all my friends who do pure have always said its really great and super rigorous (as others have mentioned here)

i dont do law, but have a fair few friends who do grading at usyd is very harsh and curved but i think employers know that and give you leeway for it. the general social environment is quite good and lively, albeit a bit competitive. the usual rule is asian/selective school go to unsw...

i dont do engo but usyd advanced maths is really good, as good or better than unsw in b4 shadowdude says 'nah unsw > usyd in maths' unsw is definitely better for engo though i definitely prefer the location, campus and social environment of usyd however

from what ive heard its more about proving you have the right skills and aptitudes rather than knowledge. i know people without commerce degrees getting interviews at IB. even heard of them recruiting at med events whether the top ones rate macquarie highly i'm not sure, id imagine if you've...

hahah wtf? what subject/lecturer is this talk to them face to face or drop the subject haah

i do mostly maths/stats but did a bit of psyc and bio too. i get solid grades, but not HD range, usually 75-80ish. during the sem this is what i do ideally go to most/all lectures. for non maths subjects i create a google docs (or word) of very comprehensive notes. as detailed as I can with...

from what ive heard, very difficult also heard big chunks of vals is kind of 'assumed knowledge' or at least extremely important/integral im not doing either, they both sound uninteresting to me and very hard

i know someone who went to the same uni for 2 sems from usyd i think theyve changed it recently, it used to be 1 sem max. but says 2 sems is available on the exchange website now i'll see how it goes

its not the equivalent of the HSC, thats just stupid. its a standardised test that makes up something like 20-40% of your application (depending on your opinion and the uni you apply to) also, pretty much any good uni also requires 2 subject tests as well pretty common for people in the know...

yeah i applied first preference UNC Chapel Hill for 2 semesters, D avg - which based on what people said should be enough normally but not sure if they will give me 2 semesters hope so anyway, think it comes out in a few weeks time

anyone with a 90+ atar can its like 2 points each for band 5s in 2u maths and 2u english or something lol. if you do any extension subjects for either youre prettty much guarunteed 5pts

youcould try review and scab some marks

Sounds like you want to go to ANU if youre not putting yourself/parents under financial pressure i would go there for sure if it is a burden then probably just go to usyd. heavily biased but id say its overall about as good as unsw and has a far better culture based on all the people i know...
