    i have a question about getting to know people at uni

    Yea, making friends is surprisingly easy (especially so in the first sem/trimester) Just go up to people in your tuts, lectures, labs, go "wsg bro" every time you see them and you'll become friends after like 2 encounters Joining subcom for a society is also helps you get a friend group since...

    Extremely Concerned About My ATAR - Alternative Pathways?

    That is true as well, mcq will literally give anyone and their ancestry early entry since they want that easy 50k

    question on motion calc.

    If the equation is linear like this Drawing a v(t) graph and calculating the area underneath the line can be faster since it's js triangles and rectangles Edit: while taking the initial position as "0" e.g. for your question, x = 5 would become the x axis

    question on motion calc.

    From the question you've provided We see that v = 10 - 2t Meaning, it travels right from the origin until t = 5, where the mass stops and starts travelling back Since distance doesn't care about direction, you'd sum the distance traveled between t = 0 and t = 5, and then t = 5 and t = 7

    Need help figuring out what to do after school

    If your field of work isn't rewarding, you can consider how your skillset can reward you in helping others outside work. There are a lot of useful things that math/tech people can do Sometimes it's not always the best option to choose a career based off what you find rewarding, e.g. for med, if...

    Wam matters if you get an internship, wam doesn't matter as much The hierarchy in the things that employers care about is as so from what I've heard so far: wam < projects < internships but you need enough wam to get past the initial screening (e.g. 85-90+ for quant trading and highly...

    Need help figuring out what to do after school

    You can work casually and pay off the debt if it's really making you anxious but tbh best option is to put it into a HYSA since indexation rate < HYSA interest rate iirc I'm pursuing elec engineering at unsw and although i've only done 2 elec courses so far (ELEC1111 and ELEC2141), the degree is...

    unsw or usyd??

    transport isn't too bad since if you live along any of the train lines, you can just go to central and then take the 20min L2 or L3 ride to unsw upper or lower campus, the only thing shit is the industrial actions (of which one is happening this week which will take away 1 of 2 line rail lines...

    unsw or usyd??

    yea I'm not too sure why usyd med has a better rep than unsw, that's just what i've heard from med ppl

    unsw or usyd??

    fwik, usyd has some big connections and sets their med students up with really good placements, networking and hence, a relatively great start to their careers

    Engineering -> unsw

    REAL TALK HOW TO GET ABOVE 99.50

    Contrary to the replies above, you will have to sacrifice a lot of things to score a 99.5+ atar; it could be social life, mental health (e.g. pushing through burn out), general well being, etc. Unless you've built up a crazy solid foundation/study routine/etc or got some smarts that let you pick...

    UNSW Actuarial Studies/Comp Sci Vs MQ Actuarial Studies/Information Technology and other UNSW CO-OP courses

    Of course coop is really competitive especially one for an engineering degree lol It's basically a full ride scholarship plus a guaranteed internship (albeit not a good one from what I've heard) You gotta be outstanding in both extracurriculars and academics, and not to sound discouraging but...

    Trimesters

    It's not bad if you tend to get really bored over long holidays I personally enjoy the grind but this may change when courses actually get hard in 2nd year onwards

    Trimesters

    They say that every year lol Unsw is an example of sunk cost fallacy: hired a firm to convert their semester system to a trimester one without changing the curriculum, for millions of dollars, and now they are reluctant to move away since they've invested so much

    English standard vs Advanced?

    Definitely not impossible, it's the same difficulty as advanced but you won't be rewarded as much

    how does uni years?

    I can't really talk off of personal experience but from what I've heard, as long as you're near the qualifications for the intended year group, you should be fine. Like say someone is nearly done with their 2nd year courses and is going to take 3rd year courses soon, they'll be fine to apply for...
