What does having attended a 'privileged school', whatever that means, or having had the good or unhappy fortune of having been reared in a privileged (though not expressly wealthy) family have anything to do with it? Single-parent families are on the rise, so I'm not sure how that could be...

I'm just passing by to dissuade many of you medical science/med-wannabes from med sci - and I disclaim that I know of it intimately. If you want to do medicine or allied health, anything else is as good. If you want to do medical research, keep your head in the books or do something else and...

Although it's one more thing you can list on your CV, if you choose USYD, they're more or less the same thing. Carefully consider what each offers you, more than campus, travel, prestige, exclusivity, and (other) superficial and minor but by no means unimportant factors, then choose. If you...

Sounds like Built Environment/Architecture, Design, and Planning but I'm pretty sure that has more people than 40 to 60 in each year group.

Sorry to double post but I thought it might be worthwhile noting that there should be absolutely no hurry in obtaining a law degree and additional qualifications, if any. Why? Simply, education or time at uni is not - or more than - a matter of being awarded a testamur. Rather, an education and...

Considering the OP turned down MQ combined law, it seems that there's more to the doing of law than doing law. MQ isn't that bad (is it?), and law isn't that awesome.

Well, that's USYD for you. In theory, classes start 5 minutes after n:00 and end 5 minutes to n+1:00. FWIW, walking times, in the quoted text: What the hell do you do? Learn the campus inside-out and use shortcuts. Also, learn to make use of the Fine Arts Library.

http://www.law.unsw.edu.au/future-students/undergraduate/entry/bonus-points HSP Plus apparently doesn't apply: http://www.unsw.edu.au/domestic-undergraduate/hsc-plus Whilst it's rather ridiculous and an awful way of trying to make higher education any fairer or accessible, I wouldn't get sour...

After making a few good course friends, you might meet their non-course friends. There's also societies and clubs, as mentioned above. If you live in college or go to events, that's also an available avenue for meeting new faces.

Perhaps, and I am by no means familiar with the policy, it something to do with failing every course attempted in a semester or more than half of the courses attempted in a semester or year. Actually, I think the links I included say something to that effect. Speculation. I'd think that'd be...

HECS-HELP is to CSP places and units of study as FEE-HELP is to FEE places and units of study as SA-HELP is to student services and amenities. It's pretty much the same thing, but HECS-HELP loans are lesser than FEE-HELP loans. For further details, see Study Assist (studyassist.gov.au).

I actually thought you plagiarised or something or repeated some offence that you did after an initial probation period or a warning. You don't have to be too cynical to think that higher education is becoming increasing corporatised, but it's understandable that they're going that way. If it...

Was here too. I noted in your signature "LLB/BSc; Melbourne MD 2012-2015". Geez, that's a lot of study or you must be an old bugger! Gotta ask you this but what do you want to do with your education, training, and skills when you've completed and later on?

Yeah. If you get an interview as a high-school-leaver for these provisional programs, it's pretty much impossible to 'fail' the interview or fail to get a place in the course. Strictly speaking, Monash isn't in Melbourne. It is a suburb of Melbourne or the Greater Melbourne region. No published...

Unimelb is awesome. Great law school, great library, generally great. Though law, especially commercial and corporations law, is one of those industries where uni matters to an extent, who really cares how well it ranks (well, although without specific regard to research, teaching, etc.) so long...

Wouldn't all the colleges be full by now? You might want to look at this comparison .pdf: http%3A%2F%2Fsydney.edu.au%2Fcurrent_students%2Faccommodation%2Fdocuments%2FCost_Comparison.pdf as well as the USyd website re. colleges, not that it owns any of them...

Medicine at USyd is a graduate-entry undergraduate course, not a postgraduate course. Each year, about three dozen students enter via the provisional pathway, which requires an ATAR/UAI of 99.5, a semi-formal interview, an audition, and taking HSC music subjects in secondary school for the...

Do passably well (a 5.5 GPA) any course at any university, sit the standardised medical schools admission exam, pray, do an interview if you get one, pray, and wait. If you're sure you want to do dental studies and immediately, consider doing dentistry at the University of Adelaide. They have a...

Some FEErs have UAIs/ATARs of 80+ and Pass/Credit university grades. Hm. International students have half-decent marks, like higher 2.Xs and all sorts of 3.X GPAs (out of 4). I'm sceptical that there's any moderation of marks or consideration given to the subjects you do/did or the...

That really goes without saying, though. A Fail would destroy your WAM so much that, no matter how else you do, your WAM would be in the loo. Only your first-year WAM. Unlike the University of Sydney, they don't take into consideration your UAI/ATAR. See...
