When do 1st Years choose their BCom major/s? I've read that you do it on enrolment, which seems a bit too soon to decide...

Do you need experience for those kinds of jobs? I wouldn't mind doing that...either that, or actually tutoring/teaching :)

Thanks :) I looked in the Faculty Handbook and I think you can only do a disciplinary minor for ISM...no double major. But a double major option is available for both the Accounting and Actuarial Studies Co-ops, though I have no idea why the programs vary in this respect.

Nope, I rejected it in the end. I decided that ISM wasn't really for me.

Yea. I haven't worked before, but I have done work experience so at least I have something up my sleeve. My main concern is that I haven't actually worked in retail before and because I'm already 17 (18 in Feb.) I'm not going to look as favourable as a 15 y.o. who can do the job but who is...

There aren't really many jobs advertised, but I'm thinking more along the lines of just walking into random shops and asking...whether they'd be recruiting so close to Xmas.

Do you think it's worth applying for jobs now, or should I wait until after New Year's?

>98 - probably around 1700 students.

I notice that the program for a 1st Year Com/Law student is pretty much as follows: Session 1 ACCT1501 Accounting & Financial Mgt 1A (6 UOC) ECON1101 Microeconomics 1 (6 UOC) ECON1202 Quantitative Methods A (6 UOC) LAWS1052 Foundations of Law (6 UOC) Session 2 ACCT1511 Accounting &...

Do you need any experience for data entry positions? I'd like to do that sort of thing just fill in time before uni but I don't really know where to look. My typing speed is probably within the vicinity of 50wpm, but I'm not really too sure...it depends on the software I use to record the speed.

I wonder how many people will take the Scientia scholarship. About 100 people in NSW get 99.90+ and of those, I'm sure a lot will do Med and/or go to USyd.

I haven't received anything in black and white about the UNSW morning tea. The lady who rang me up about the Scientia scholarship yesterday mentioned it. For USyd, I got that Express Post letter lol.

I've never had tutoring for anything :) That's not to say that people shouldn't get tutoring. If it helps, then that's good. For me personally, I wanted to push my limits and see what I could do + I had great teachers.

The UNSW morning tea is on the same day so I'll probably be heading to that one instead. :p

I can help you out. I'm doing Eco tutoring on the North Shore if you're interested. http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=96886

Hey guys, For anyone who would like extra help in Business Studies, Economics, Chemistry or 2/3U Maths I am now available to tutor on the North Shore. I am willing to tutor at both Preliminary and HSC level. I received a UAI of 99.95 and I placed 1st in the state in Business Studies. My...

Actually, not quite: http://www.uac.edu.au/pubs/pdf/2005-Table-A7.pdf http://www.uac.edu.au/pubs/pdf/2005-Table-A8.pdf If you got 99, you'd be placed in the top 854 students.

The cut-offs may change, but USyd Law has remained fairly steady at 99.6. From memory, an MBBS at USyd requires 99.95 but I'm not 100% certain.

In spite of scaling seeming unfair, and despite the sometimes huge discrepancies betweens UAIs in different years, the system is fair. It was designed to be fair, and in my opinion, it is. Very minor discrepencies cannot be avoided, but generally these are negligible. UAIs were designed to be...

Hehe. Thanks :) I was ecstatic this morning :D I think I was probably a fair way off the 100 anyway...looking at the stats, I estimated my scaled aggregate to be around 474, but 482.4 was needed for 100 lol
