Thats very interesting, where did you get the statistics on the number of Australians being accepted from?

Straight away definently. I've even done a little bit of extra reading / private research on the topics I'm going to study this year, and even next year. Aiming for a perfect (8 h1s) GPA.

Are you sure about that? Also, going to lectures you're not in, especially in the first few weeks when there is an option to change subjects, is actually encouraged. It gives you a chance to try a few things out before you commit.

Ok then, lets assume that you're right, and that there is no way to prove that god does or does not exist (which is probably a correct premise, but the following does not rely on it being so). If this is true then that doesn't mean we should all just get up and go home, there are other...

I know what you're trying to argue, and you are WRONG WRONG WRONG Yes School in America can be a joke if you're going to a poor school in the bronx. Its just one manifestation of the broader inequality in America. The SAT is also very easy, high school students don't even know basic calculus...

hmm, maybe because they were there to learn about the foundations of law? Just a theory

I'm not a fan of the idea of focusing on vocational skills in high school and teaching people a trade while they are in high school, that sort of feels like people are being forced down certain paths far too early. Everyone should be given the opportunity to have a proper rigorous high school...

Oh man this is funny, but before I step into the fray, a summary: PHD Comics: Dating Odds I'm not entirely an engineering student, I'm a science student at Melbourne majoring in computer science and maths, so I can't say for certain for engineering subjects but I've found the sex ratio to be...

The Hacker's Diet Best weight loss guide I have ever seen. Just read the first few pages if you aren't convinced. And its totally free, so you know it must be good :P

How maths makes the world go round - Telegraph

Ooops... I bolded the bit that ruined your otherwise sound argument.

Calculus 1 and Calculus 2 at Melbourne university both had a formula sheet for the final exam. I don't know why you are asking this now though, it would depend on the subject, and you would be able to find out for any subject pretty early on. For many maths subjects having a formula sheet...

no no no not only is it really bad and dangerous for your skin for more then one reason, it is UGLY Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and for me and many others, pale > tanned. A tan is NOT a sign of healthy skin.

I didn't know this post existed. So heres my somewhat late "plan" I'm going into my second year in 2010. I'm planning on majoring in computer science https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/view/2010/!R01-AA-MAJ%2B1009 with the concurrent diploma in mathematical sciences, Diploma in...

What the??? You should definitely not pick university due to how "snobbish" you perceive the other students are. You should pick the course that is best for you, and matches your interests and future aspirations. I would not think that it would be much fun to let people you don't like...

Quite a few things I feel I need to comment on. First, unrelated things that I just need to comment on because I am anal. Its definently a child IQ. IQ scoring for children is generally much more inflated then scores for adults. To measure a childs IQ they get their mental age and divide it...

First of all, there is a course information day at Melbourne in a few days, I'm not sure if Monash do the same thing. Heres a link: Course Information Day - Future students I don't know much about Monash's courses so I can't really recommend one over the other, hopefully someone else will...

Well then, in that case... I did read some lecture slides on a presentation about an honours year at Melbourne Uni, but it wasn't for psychology, so it might be a little different for psychology. The absolute bare minimum is 65, but even then if there is competition you might not get in, the...

hmm yeah, being able to understand content at a faster rate is definently much more important then speed reading, even more so in topics where the content is very dense. I have a book on recursion theory and mathematical logic that you need to spend at least 2 hours on each page to...

Did you just call yourself a douche? Things only get weirder... Personally I am not really annoyed by "snobby law students" because I don't actually see there degree as that desirable. I mean, If I did, I would be doing it, right? I have nothing against law students, but its just another...
