    Enrollment Appointments for S1 2010

    this is what i dont understand. i want to enroll in COMP2911. the only students that want to enroll in COMP2911 are people who are entering 2nd year computing (comp sci, soft eng, comp eng). from what I understand, we (2nd year comp students) all have the same enrollment appointment (this...

    Engineering/Science or Science?

    doing a double degree with engineering would mean that you get far fewer science electives, you will be doing your core engineering subjects instead basically after 4 or 5 years, you will have both degrees, but you wont know as much in either compared to a straight science or straight...

    Enrollment Appointments for S1 2010

    mines on the 15th you all seem to have a reason to want early appointments, so i will ask "what difference does it make?"

    So many pages

    have u ever looked at those BoS student response packages? some kids have super big writing with massive spaces between words writing style has a lot of factors associated with it. if everyones responses where typed up, im sure you would see that the variance is not as big as you would think

    does the school find out our ATAR?

    principal: so what did you end up getting Tim? Tim: oh, i got 99.95 principal:wow, great work Tim. I wasnt expecting that, especially since you arent ranked in the top 50 for any of your subjects Tim: I was suprised myself. soooo, do i get dux? principal: maybe, either you or one of the other...

    UNSW vs USYD in engineering. Which is superior?

    looking at the previous responses begs a certain question it appears that unsw is better for engineering, but would you take money (eg a scholarship) to go to usyd? and if you would, then i suppose you must consider whether or not you are choosing engineering for the right reasons. IMO...

    uac preferences are due in sometime early january, like the 5th or something universities usually have another open day right before that date to help people finalise choices

    USYD scholarships

    i love you 09ers, hsc is over but you all still seem so stressed. take a deep breath and relax, the letters will come when they come i was so carefree after the hsc that i remember my family had to tell me that my UAI comes out tomorrow. (ok, maybe thats a little to oblivious)

    Unsw co-op 2009

    Measuring Intelligence

    except in hsc english, this path isnt always the one of choice proving this wrong is trivial. using your exact argument you can also argue that testing intelligence through the humanities is pointless. what if one super intelligent guy never learnt to read or write, and he was up against a...

    Unsw co-op 2009

    lol, you're thinking about this the wrong way. you will be the one person they remember after all of the interviews. its much better if they remember you than if they are looking over the names at the end of the day and say "who is this Alice Welling? I dont remember her at all"

    Scholarships ; how do they work?

    they offer you the scholarship until they give you a form and ask you to sign it, then feel free to say "no thanks, I changed my mind"

    Uni maths

    not very. universities are well aware that a large number of students have not done 4u maths and so they teach it as part of the course, usually at the start of the course. i dont recall conics or volumes in 1st year maths

    High ATAR = obsessive parents, selective schools, tutoring

    your friend is at best an ignorant human being. you cant apply an exact formula to the hsc, its not a science "High ATAR = obsessive parents, selective schools, tutoring, illegal teaching practices" for one, id say relaxed parents gets you a better ATAR. intrinsic motivation is greater...

    How to get to UNSW by public transport

    i agree but for a different reason at the start of semester, the lines for a bus to unsw from central are ridiculously long. on a rainy day, the line can stretch back about 100 metres. id avoid that line if possible i would also comment that testing out all 3 routes while taking a bridging...

    Tutorials

    i wouldnt compare hsc tutoring to unsw tutorials, they are totally different unsw tutes are similar to what you did in a high school class. teacher, other kids, asking questions. hsc tutoring, well thats highly variable. some people went to a tutoring service, others privately tutored as...

    career advice

    usyd has best arts faculty in sydney (i think) its a tough decision, and i guess is depends on how much you really want to study law. if you take comm/arts at usyd/unsw then you really have to ace your subjects to be guaranteed a successful transfer (i dont know how well you have to do, i...
