Why not, you have an interest in the course, and you wern't that far off.Gough Whitlam said:I got a UAI of 70.75 and I met 2 of 3 requirements for Bachelor of Computer Science. Any chance they will accept me if I plea my case?
Wollongong gives three bonus points to schools in all the surrounding shires (that is Sutherland, Wingecaribee, etc), Wollongong City, Shellharbour City, Kiama Municipality, Shoalhaven City blah blah blah, do I need go on?Gough Whitlam said:My school is located in the Sutherland Shire and every year Wollongong will give a bonus of 3 UAI points for school located in the Shire. For the early entry requiremente, it said min. UAI 75, does that include the 3 bonus points? If so, Im only 1.25 points fall short. Thanks
Just because one gets a high UAI does not mean one must study for a degree which meets that requirement. I got a high UAI, yet I decided I'd like to study CompSci at Wollongong. I've had a look around at the course handbooks for other unis, and they don't interest me. I like Wollongong, and I don't intent on leaving.Terra_Niux said:I got a UAI of 84.85 and I live in the Shoalhaven therefore ill get a UAI of 87.85 for Wollongong, i'm still going to do Internet Science and Technology however, a friend of mine got a UAI of like 95 and is still doing Computer Science.
lol I got nothing like that, I only included a participation certificate of 2002 maths competition in my folder. I guess the most important bit is how you answer questions like why do you want to study at Wollongong, why do you want to do computer science (or insert the course name you've applied), what do you see yourself in 10 years time etc etc.Gilbert said:Um yeah np.
Basically once they know you meet the requirements, they want to know a bit about you and what you think you can/will do for the uni. Basically your trying to sell yourself, so make yourself presentable and professional. They like distinctions/credits in the maths competition *HINT* and science is also cool. Proof of participation is always great. They liked the letter I got back from Tropfest thanking for participation. *HINT*
Um yeah, most importantly, be yourself. Goodluck!
