Only if you're great at maths.

I'm biased because I lean towards the financial industry.

Even taking this into account, I think that the +5 points is far too high. There is a HUGE difference between 94.55 and 99.55. Marks-wise 99.55 means you need to score 95's for all of your 10 units. For 94.55 you can get away with scoring 86s. IMHO, I think that the no. of bonus points should...

I think it provides a bit more flexibility. Comm/Sci is one extra year and allows you to go down another pathway. You might get to second year and realise that you don't actually want a hardcore quant role at a bank. If you had Finance/Actuarial, you could go into Trading, Insurance etc, which...

Commerce/Law at UNSW

Dude transfer. My friend had 98 ATAR and a WAM of ~71, still made it

Lol! That was me. Doesn't matter, transferred in despite a crappy WAM :DDDDDDDD

Some of the pure mathematics is definitely useful, but if your primary objective is to learn how to apply mathematics to real life, imo you should be majoring in applied or statistics. The other option is to do an undergraduate in pure mathematics, then specialise further on in an honours year...

Statistics. Statistics. Statistics. Pure math is shat. I did great in High school mathematics 98 in 3u and 95 in 4u and a 99.5 ATAR. I did shit at uni pure mathematics. It is insane, way too abstract... My suggestion is you do Commerce/Science with a major in Finance/Actuarial and...

Macquarie is better than UNSW for Actuarial. I go to UNSW actuarial btw.

Re: Is it possible to get into a unsw course even if my atar is a couple of points of Lol gl man. I missed out by 0.05 first round, and didn't get it in the second or final rounds. The cutoff actually rose. Just transfer in.

I'd like some juicy XX today :) Calling up now :) edit: OMG she's a guy and has a penis D:

So true. I know so many people who got into UNSW law with bonus points, about 40% of current UNSW law students got in through transfer or bonus points. Two of my friends and I scored 99.4, 99.45 and 99.5 respectively and did not get in because of the ATAR rise to 99.55 So essentially what I'm...

Hey, you're doing Comm/Advanced Math right? Sorry this is really random, but I'm going to be transferring into that course next year and was wondering whether you found SCIF worth it? I'm Leon, that Marketing guy in the Math1151 lectures:P P.s. You should come to ASOC camp P.P.S Teach me...

Hey go do law, clearly because it has the highest entrance score, it's the best course.

Thank you so much for all the advice. I've been reading markjoshi.com, and he says that c++ is the main code that quants use. I want to be as marketable as possible for financial companies by the end of the 5 year degree, so I think it might be worth it learning c++.

Investment Banking--> you can get in as any other those majors.

Ok, I will do actuarial studies/maths. I've noticed the need to learn object oriented c++ to become a quant, what computing course would i need to do to learn c++. Also is comp1911 a good choice, or should i go comp1917, because it is harder. Note ive never done any time of programming before...
