    ANU Vs Sydney Uni

    Avoiding UNSW because prestige isnt important yet picking USYD over UTS for prestige... UTS is a far better option than USYD for engineering, and you'd likely get a much higher scholarship there. If you're more interested in how pretty a campus looks rather than the functionality of it (UTS...

    IPT into UNSW Actuarial

    Economics doubled with anything STEM. Economics/math, economics/cs are probably the two I'd look at. Very important you do MATH1131/1141 and MATH1231/1241 first and second term of the year and then get the commerce and economics courses required for UNSW done quickly.

    Usyd vs UNSW law

    Both are great. THE and QS both rank UNSW slightly higher, but they're both Go8 so in Australia its basically the same. I'd pick USYD just for the lack of trimesters.

    Help for external transfer

    ANU Law is a great program. If the end goal has to be UNSW, its probably best to do a different UNSW course and IPT in, or if you really want to do law subjects right now, go to macquarie over ANU instead. From my experience, as soon as you start at a university, its going to be a significant...

    Could I enter this course with my ATAR?

    I mean you could, but either way you're doing 4 years, its just that you'll graduate with one degree instead of 2 and you'll have a very odd 4th year doing like 4 courses across the year. With how tiny and competitive the actuary job market is in Australia, having a commerce/math/computer...

    Could I enter this course with my ATAR?

    If you do choose to pursue Actuarial Studies, which again I really don't recommend, make sure to double with either Commerce or Comp Sci. You need a longer degree than single Actuary in order to fit in the required exemption courses to take advantage of all the actuary licensing without having...

    Could I enter this course with my ATAR?

    95 in standard maths is not the kind of mark you want going into an actuary degree. For context, the first maths course you take in actuary is MATH1151, which is considered a child's play easy course compared to the later courses. In the description of MATH1151 on the course handbook, it says...

    Job Offer @ Art of Smart

    Art of Smart is complete rubbish for so many reasons: 1. It adds bureaucratic rubbish to tutoring - they want you to use scripts when calling parents and manage an online timetable and all this other rubbish 2. You get paid half as much as you would if you tutored on your own despite charging...

    Could I enter this course with my ATAR?

    If you did standard maths, I would really advise you to not pursue an Actuary degree. It is essentially a maths degree and even some of the kids who did 4u and got e4s often struggle with it. Commerce is chill though.

    ngo & sons or something else?

    Heyo! Any tutoring centre you hear mentioned is going to be targeted mainly at selective school/elite private school students, as that's were the money is at in the class tutoring business. I went to one free thing at ngo and it was great and I know a few students from my public school went...

    One in five students from private schools now apply for HSC disability provisions

    LMAO, applying for fraudulent disability provisions at elite privates, a tale as old as time.Reminds me of the abbotsleigh girl who had a meltdown all the way to a board of studies tribunal because she wasn't allowed to do her exam on a computer because she suffered from wrist cramps and only...

    UNSW Electrical Engineering Question

    Uni is less workload, even if you're going after HD WAM. For any person interested in EE, I can tell you that DESN1000 is enough reason to avoid taking any engineering degree. Currently contemplating a IPT to Actuarial Studies as a result of how suboptimal the course is.

    UNSW Electrical Engineering Question

    Yes. its 90 LSR, which means any person who gets at least 90 with atar and bonus points added gets in. UNSW has infinite places.
