I think the cutoff won't be that high, as it wasn't even listed in the UAC book, apparently. Also, it is important to consider that people may be frightened from doing the course as it's brand new.
This, for me is a very welcome course (as I'm trying to transfer to USYD's com lib degree), as it will be likely that the usyd cutoff will slightly fall, as well. And usyd seems to like keeping the commerce lib cutoff above 97.60, which would mean vacancies, and vacancies should mean the acceptance of transfer students = funsexytime for me

from wat i gather...all combined degrees at unsw need the cut off of the higher degree typa thing...so like com/sci com/eco require the com cut off and com/law the law cut off =)
you're entirely correct. the cut-off is based on the degree with the higher requirement.

what surprised me is that the usyd com (lib) went to 98.85, even though there are now two com (lib) courses offered in sydney.

that is strange actually and they should have also gone down due to UNSW coming into the game

demand and supply does stipulate that...which can only mean that demand increased more than supply...OR usyd just pulled the number of places for com (lib)

i think that people are just starting to get more interested in more liberal commerce courses. the trend has been for unis to increase the number of core subjects for commerce (e.g. USYD's recent 11 core subject requirement), and people want more choice.

im happy with that as im one of those people who hates to be pressured into studying a certain topic and with liberal studies u always have the option of something new :)
