that's a strange list.
Especially since B.Psychology is always a higher UAI (at both UNSW and USYD) than USYD pharmacy (I know it also includes the STAT or whatever). But I guess each to their own :)

Dude,

Optometry sounds so interesting and enjoyable, plus its flexible in that I wont have to work for someone else.

Im hoping to work for an optometrist firm for 2 years tops, and then open my own clinic. Who knows, I may have a chance to open a chain of shops nationwide :p :)

I cant believe that so few people are gonna do it.

BTW, Optom has about 50 students in the first year...cant wait to start :)

Of course you can, SpoRTsGaL.

They usually count 50% of your UAI and 50% of your uni marks.

The cut off for transfer to ANY courses are uaually lower than the Main round cut-off.

Apply at UAC at the end of the year :)
