That's nonsense. There's things you can do with a science degree from UWS. It's simply a matter of whether you make that effort to get wherever you want, and where you see yourself, reasonably or otherwise, in relation to jobs. It's perfectly understandable to think that medical students are...

That's a strange thing to say. What's that? Don't do a grad law degree unless you absolutely have to or there's a very good reason for it. Do an undergrad law degree, then do whatever. The structure is really strange. I recommend you e-mail USyd Law. They guys there are more than eager to...

Yeah? I work better with stress. It feels strange when things aren't reasonably stressful. Everyone has a different performance curve (Yerkes–Dodson law). Some stress and perform. Others don't stress and perform.

Whoa, dude, that person faces a steep challenge. I sat the HSC ages ago, and this isn't something that has stuck with me over the years. I remember having moderation / scaling / matching to me. That's been archived too. That person probably requires solid 80s or 90s. It really depends on what...

I sat it ages ago for undergraduate B.Pharm. and B.Vet.Sc., which was only as an option. Things may have changed since then, but the STAT is pretty basic. That may be reasonable given the fact that you have presumably prospective mature-age guys (who do or do not have ATARs?) sitting it (I only...

Facilities and environment are what you make of them. They're all pretty respectable. Having come out of the cookie cutter system and having also entered another cookie cutter system (before bailing for a wholly different thing), no one really cares where you go. Simply enjoy yourself at uni...

I feel like I should be able to answer this, but I can't at this hour. I can answer your questions with "it depends". You may not use your science degree (what majors or subjects do you have in mind?), but I'm sure there'd be ways to make it work or use things learnt from those classes. To be...

Prospects for high-achieving students are about the same, but the courses and all that comes with it, except for the diplomas, are not by and large the same. Uni isn't simply about a formal education, and there's a lot that an undergrad experience in law offers that a grad experience doesn't...

Re: Does anyone know for USYD combined law is it possible to drop LAW "ANYTIME U WANT Uh, it's actually incredibly common. Like literally incredibly. You wouldn't believe it, how many of these kids at USyd with their near-100.00 UAIs/99.95 ATARs who realise "right, so I realise what I do like...

There are a select few who are supposed to do law and can only do law. The rest struggle but eventually graduate and may even practise in the law. Some graduate but end up totally screwed anyway. Some flunk out. Others leave on their own accord and contribute to society in other ways. Other...

The top of your list is probably what makes you stay there for the long slog and do well and give you what you want (maybe the 'best-for-you' social opportunities, maybe the best profs. or courses, etc.). After that, then consider your future or you'll simply be overwhelmed. However, I'm saying...

Re: I was wondering if girls in their mid 20s considered a guy whos 31 as a man? and According to the Asian blogosphere, girls, at least a sizeable portion of Asian ones, look for: *tall; *rich; and, *handsome guys. Those that aren't are, or may be, into: *white / fair; *rich; and...

I understand that too. The course and the system smacks of inequity and injustice. Seriously, though, a B.Med.Sci. is pretty shitty preparation for medical school admissions tests and medical school. If it's even any good, it's only, as you would know, part of the way. To borrow apply game...

Prestigious? Naive? I lol'd. Yeah, definitely this.

With ref. to 'least trusted profession' thing, good to know that if I practise as a lawyer, people's impression of me and trust in me fall like a stick. Some of it's true, some of it's hyperbole, some of it's bullshit. As it is, though, it sounds like the author has a case of sour grapes or...

It's uni. It's pretty important, but it's not the most important thing. Make the most out of it, whatever that mean to you (e.g., keggers, hooking up, smashing assessments and setting curves, learning for the sake of it). A WAM of 80 sounds pretty good, but if you can get it higher without...

There are nuances between graduates from Uni A and Uni B, but by and large you / I couldn't (past subjunctive and future subjunctive) spot glaring differences. I have noticed some personal and educational differences, but it's not as though my opinions, biases, or experiences will mean much to...

UNSW has scaling but my impression and experience makes me think that convenors are a little more flexible and generous and the policy is a little less harsh.

I shouldn't exactly be telling you this but 'scaling' is moderating to a specific distribution. There is no harshness or leniency to a statistical algorithm or phenomenon. However, the policies that stipulate that there are only so many of a particular grade may be harsh or lenient. The main...

Suppose so if the OP is, in the OP's estimation, within a reasonable definition of competitive. UNSW makes it clear that, if one's ATAR is less than 92, the candidate cannot possibly be sufficiently, or even adequately, competitive. Further, it suggests that, in order to maintain the ATAR of...
