oh, so I choose? I was thinking there was some sort of set program. Don't know where I got that idea. So as I understand it, I need exactly 4 courses (can I do more?) taken from commerce compulsory cores and the compulsory stage 1 courses for my chosen math major. Does it actually matter what I...

Hi all. I'm one of those people that changed their preferences after their offer - I got an offer for med and then decided I'd rather do com/sci(adv math). I'm fairly confident I'll be successful in getting a place due to a friend declining an offer in that course. But now I've decided not to...

I just discovered someone doing my course is deciding to decline it to study interstate. I'm hopeful I'll have the highest ATAR of the people wanting to fill the spot so I'll be able to do the course I wanted! One thing I'm a little concerned about is enrollment though. According to my friends...

wow, thanks a lot for that document, runnable, it's very reassuring, I was thinking I had very little chance at all. Worst case scenario I can do normal commerce+science at usyd or unsw. I'll still accept the med offer as a backup though, as suggested. thanks also rx34, I'll call them and...

thanks for the replies, I guess it's my own fault. Stupid question, how do I accept an offer?

I put my first preference in for the wrong reasons and I regret it - i thought there was no chance I'd get into it. My second preference was commerce+science(advanced maths) at UNSW. After getting offered my first preference I realize I would vastly prefer my second preference. Is my only way...

thank you for the information, it's very helpful. it's difficult to find explanations i can understand with no experience of how universities work. Looks like I'll be studying BSc (adv maths)/BCom at usyd, strange that I can't put it directly on my preferences. Just curious: it won't be a...

from here: Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) - Future Undergraduate Students - The University of Sydney "The BSc (Advanced Mathematics) may be combined with Arts, Commerce, Education, Engineering and Law." I emailed uSyd regarding this and they said what it meant was that I...

hi guys. Wanting to do B Sc (Adv maths) at usyd. but my parents advised me to combine it with commerce (which I agree with). Only if I combine, I'm now doing [commerce with generic science] because unlike UNSW, there's no course for [Commerce with Science(advanced maths)]. I'm told by the Usyd...

thanks for the info and advice. I definitely like the idea of speeding up the degree by picking additional subjects.

wow, thanks for the info. Are you suggesting we send a letter rather than the form provided at http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/administration/foi_application_form.pdf ?

hi. Still tossing around ideas for what to study next year. I'd like to know about combined degrees, because it strikes me I have very little understanding how they work. (specifically I'm thinking about combined commerce/science (adv math) at UNSW.) Does one study 2 degrees at the same time...

whoops, ignore this

Thanks for the input everyone, it's really changed my thinking a lot. My dad is in structured finance and is successful and I guess that creates some bias. Right now I'm thinking I'll take advanced maths at USYD or UNSW and try and get some units in computational mathematics. Also, I noticed...

thanks for the advice, studentleader. No university near me seems to offer "Bachelor of Computer and Mathematical Sciences" though. Can you do computational mathematics in a normal maths course?

but can one get a job in finance with just maths? Or any kind of safe, well paid, rewarding job at all? I am concerned about career prospects more than how much I enjoy the course.

So basically, my only interests are in computing and maths. I can see myself being some kind of software engineer, systems analyst or working in finance with maths (I'm leaning more towards this last one at the moment, because I think it will pay better and generally will have more job...

i'm willing to swap with anyone. i have a paper made by NSBHS, a paper by NEALS and a paper by Pearson Education, all paper 1 I'd swap for anything except catholic (already done it) PM if interested
