I have done an essay plan, and I have books here. I've sat down and decided to write it, then written non sensical things, and I have been at this stage for three days now. It was due yesterday :( Its on Philosophy, basically about free will, determinism and holding people responsible. I...

If you are applying for a straight Bachelor of Arts then last years entrance was 80 and if you have pass/credits from you current year I think you will be okay. If you are applying for an International studies Arts its higher, but look into that. If you have read the stickies in the transfer...

Don't rely on Centrelink to support you. If you are straight out of year 12 chances are they won't just give you money. They will judge it on your parents income. The only way to get around that is be over 25 (22 with the new budget) or work for 18 months (2 years with the new budget)...

I thought Melbourne was a bit shaky at the moment because of all the changes. I know a lot of people who went there and are now at ANU because their degrees and majors were getting screwed up by all the changes. I guess if you are using your GPA as entrance they would have conditional...

Well work. Most exchange placements and application take about a year so its not like you are running out of time. Scholarship, loan, parents.

Most jobs I have worked at have a system where you have to give minimum of a week, or sometimes two weeks, notice if you want a day of. Its not like some kind of credit system where you work other peoples shifts and then gain work credits for yourself so you can take time off. Sure it sucks...

Okay... Well I thought one of the best universities for Journalism was UTS and I have heard people talk about CSU but I haven't really heard about any others is specific regard so Journalism. From what I can observe, entrance to Journalism is quite high across the board, so if you are...

I believe ANU is considered a better university than Macquarie but I am not sure about how the law departments of each relate. UAI does not always indicate quality of degree, so independent research is often worth undertaking. It could be fun to get away from home, but it might be easier to...

I have never been on exchange but I am thinking about it as well. A lot of people have recommended it to me. "Worth it" is a somewhat strange term. I imagine you mean sort of time/money wise. If you go to US chances are your living costs will not be much higher than here so you shouldn't be...

I don't have much experience in primary school anything but one of my friends was looking at it for a bit, and I was looking slightly at secondary. Here is what I know. 1. The advantages to being a primary school teacher would be a secure job (as you are government employed) and better hours...

If you look in the sticky section it has a post on the topic of transfers. One discusses entrance and selection ranks. At the bottom of the post there is pdf which has how GPA (Grade Point Average) turns into selection rank. Its often a good idea to check the stickies before asking questions.

From what I have been told by some people is that it depends on your degree. I was told that Law, and probably business degrees (I know nothing about those) and various others it matters a fair lot but for Arts (what I am doing) it matters less on your Uni and more on your majors, how you...

I would think that maybe they should further decrease the HECS cost of national priorities but I would prefer the money that they would theoretically save on HECS to go to supporting students who have difficulty getting by, or by purchasing and renting out discounted student housing. I think...

I would say approximately 1 hour and 12 minutes if walking, but this is subject to change depending on traffic density and traffic light timing. If i get a good run I think I could drive in maybe 10 minutes, possibly less if not counting "find parking space" time.

As far as actual procedure goes you would probably apply through UAC or the relevent service for your state. Some universities allow non-year 12 applicants to apply directly to the university, and the best way to find out if this is applicable to the institution you would like to attend would be...

Hi, I graduated last year, and today I was looking at my Tertiary Entrance Statement (transferring) and it had my majors and minors and next to them a scaled score, they were all in the 100s, like 140 or something random. What do these mean? How does this work? Also, what is the...

As far as I know it doesn't matter what courses you do as long as you have an equivalent year of full time study. You can transfer across to other degrees/courses. As far as the course specific details go I can't really help with that. Although I would not count on getting High Distinctions...

I don't think that you have to decide on your majors immediately. If you are tossing up between a few courses then take them all, and next year decide what you want to do. You are going to have to do an extra (well kinda extra) semester somewhere along the line anyway so I wouldn't stress right...

Do you mean withdrawing from your entire degree, or just one course from your degree? I can't imagine it would effect your entrance. I was under the impression that they only took your university GPA for entrance after one full year of study, but as you have not done that theoretically they will...

Okay I am still in my first year, but I am going over to New Zealand possibly to do the rest of my degree. Anyway, after that I would probably looking to come back to Australia to do Honours (Arts), preferably at somewhere like Sydney Uni or Melbourne Uni or possibly even ANU (even though I am...
