I don't think the HSC was that hard, in all honesty. I partied like crazy, had 60% attendance and played computer games all day. I rarely studied during the year and only started studying when everyone started panicking (1.5 months before the first exam). I got an ENTER of 95.10. It really can...

Anyone got attacked/mobbed/robbed this year? Tell me your stories, I'm bored.

Why are your labs 4 hours long? I can't imagine having a 4 hour lesson straight :(

Coogee is dangerous at night. There's always police patrolling the place at night. Car hoons, bogans, abos and all the really rough people. It isn't really a safe place. Go Mosman!

Personally I do commerce and I only have about 15 hours of uni a week. But the amount of time I spend studying outside of uni is a lot. I spend around 28 hours a week to study. Contact hours may be little, but homework and revision do add on a lot of hours.

Hey cherry101, could you share tips for the telephone interview? I got an email from Inje for a telephone interview. I'm nervous and unprepared, could you give me a rundown on the questions they would ask? And appropriate responses? Thanks.

Lol I had a bit of a chuckle reading this. It's funny yet true. So what if there are asians in UNSW? Chances are they will probably work harder, achieve better grades and will whoop your pale white ass. It's the cold reality but both white and yellow people would look down on you for being a...

Hey there, you think they give a higher preference to folks who have done a year of law first before transferring to Monash? Or does it not matter at all? I have done the first year of a non-law degree. Angryjam, what grades did you get over the year (if you don't mind sharing). Besides the 2...

I think you still have a shot. My ex got that ATAR last year and managed to get in UNSW Comp Sci. Now I'm not sure about USYD, but don't give up hope. Good luck. Gratitude ehh? Now drop the bar of soap and bend over :p

GO UTS. So what if UNSW is more prestigous? Nothing beats free money (through the scholarship!)

we probably need more aussies who can spell.

Hey dolbinau, I talked to my family, they told me I'm not obligated to tell them about University A (like you suggested too). But should the employers ask, I must not lie to them. Oh yes, and I got my academic transcript printed at University B, there were no records of my previous results...

For me, what I've learnt in Economics, you are either good in economics or you're not. All my friends always get HDs in economics, and I always just get a low distinction for my economics courses. You can memorise the textbook but whether you can interpret it well and draw the graphs well is a...

Well, I just did the first year mandatory economics courses and in Microeconomics, there is a a chapter or two about oligopoly game theory, nash equilibrium, prison dilemma, etc. However, it is covered in very small detail in first year. No idea about second year. So perhaps the other people...

Hi there, I need genuine advice on the situation I'm facing. Basically, as the thread title suggests, I did not do too well in University A, year 2008. I failed a few subjects, I received academic warnings and was told to take a break. After realising the mess I made, I switched universities to...

BUMP! Anyone applied for a transfer for March 2010 intake? Please do share! I did worse in semester 2 compared to semester 1 :( However, my overall wam is 79.50 and GPA is 6.25. I'm glad they don't consider the ENTER if you did first year uni; my ENTER was atrocious. Sirlancelot, I reckon...

Take a gap year. This will give you a chance to clear your mind, and perhaps gain motivation for your last year. You can try doing seasonal work. E.g. going to Canada during the skiing period, and then coming back to Australia when the next winter begins.

I had no idea dentists earnt that much. Damn, I should have sat for the UMAT.

Yep, I totally agree with Andi0390. Stop quoting yourself, it's lame. Really, most of the answers are in the stickies. Just read it.

I think most Asians are ok, the ones that grew up in Australia anyway. Anyway I assumed USyd had less asians (from China) compared to UNSW.
