Provided you get the offer for your chosen course in UNSW, what must we do once we accept it? *Will we need to choose our classes? Is it best to do it tonight so they won't get full? *Would we be required to fill out information about HECS? Thanks and sorry for all the questions :P

I think going to the same Uni with the majority of your school year requires a very specific set of conditions most of the schools in NSW don't have. Normally, it happens to two types of people: 1) People from high ranked private schools who end up going to a 'prestigious' Uni (usually Usyd) 2)...

Thank you, and well done to you! 90+ ATAR AND work experience, judging from your sig you are on already on the road to a successful career :) Thanks for the advice :) Considering how tough it is to get a job, I will certainly stay in it for a while if I manage to snag one :) Yeah, I was...

Re: Want to know if you made it into your preferred UNSW course before official offer Remember all is not confirmed until tomorrow :) There are other offer rounds at the end of January and beginning of February. You can always talk to UNSW and see whether there are any other options for entry...

Wow, seems like more BoS'ers are heading off to UNSW than to any other university (Including Usyd!).

1 & 2 -There is really not much I would add regarding the first two points, loversinjapan and strawberryy have addressed them splendidly. You say that you don't want to fail and are not sure about what you want to do in the future, try channeling that into getting the best ATAR you can so that...

Alright, thanks for the advice everyone...will refine my resume and tailor it for a variety of jobs and then start applying after uni starts :P

Re: Want to know if you made it into your preferred UNSW course before official offer Don't worry you will be fine. I just have a tendency to be overly cautious when it comes to these things :P

Re: Want to know if you made it into your preferred UNSW course before official offer From what others are saying I think you need to answer various questions about yourself. I got onto that page as well after deciding to risk it and log in...but maybe it is best not to tamper with it any more...

Re: Want to know if you made it into your preferred UNSW course before official offer It let me make a uni pin and choose password and I did. Now its asking me to log in but I am scared to do it unless it stuffs something up. Basically, if you got to the stage of entering the uni pin and...

Could you please elaborate as to what/where this type of work is?

Yup, in same position. Just keep trying, and something will come up eventually. Also, if you are going to uni next year and still don't have a job by the time you start, get involved in more volunteer work and maybe consider getting a job in or around the campus. However, one thing I will say is...

Thank you :) Best of luck! So would you say its best to wait until I start uni before actually getting a job so I know when I will be available?

I am thinking of looking for a casual job atm but feel a little hesitant since I am unsure what the workload will be once uni starts. Next year I am doing a double degree if I get the offer for it (nothing too heavy, its Music/Arts) and would also like a decent social life, as well as sufficient...

I would say the majority of people would not know anyone in their uni courses so the odds are you will find someone in the same situation as you. This is true to such an extent that many Unis organize O-week to help you with the process. Plus, they have clubs and societies that you can join to...

There is no denying that the student problem in the North Shore is very real. However, making NSG/NSB 'partially selective' is heavily problematic. As a student from a school with both a selective and non-selective component, I have seen first hand that this model just does not work for most...

Ok, thank you. That clears up my confusion because someone said that because they have higher something MUST be wrong. Wanted to make sure.

^ This has happened to me in one of my subjects. I was ranked 1st and the person ranked 2nd got a higher HSC mark than me. Just wondering...is this ever possible in any circumstance?

88.15 not my aim but should be enough for my course. 93.15 if you consider bonus points.

Really? My careers adviser gave us one example where in one year, 8 people did Swedish or something and since the lowest mark was 94, they scaled it DOWN. Don't they need to create a bell curve (ie they can't just have everyone at the top, but need some at the bottom and most in the middle)...
