MAJOR question about uni course transfers!!!!! (1 Viewer)

[blackness]

For example, if i scored a UAI of 70 and made it into either medical science, biomolecular science, or business, (all at UWS) and decided to transfer into a more higher course, like optometry, phsiotherapy, medicine, pharmacy etc, at a different uni or the same, will this be difficult, or will it be possible for me to transfer in the first year.???? wat would be the requirements?????


Thanks a lot !!!!!!

Your profile says you're doing your HSC next year, why are you worrying about this now? Seems kind of unnecessary considering you may get more than 70 in the end. Good luck though

CAN someone PLEASE Answer My question above!!!!!!!

 

[jemsta]

transferring in the first year usually involved taking half of your UAI and half of your first year tertiary studies.
http://community.boredofstudies.org/330/transfers/45647/topic-university-transfers.html
have a read there...shows you all you need to know about transferring, in terms of the marks etc.
i remember reading for pharmacy in the uac book that if youve completed at least one year of tertiary study, they disregard your UAI and go with that, along with the stat test. Usually youll need a good distinction average to be accepted.

as for the rest, well i hope you apply for post grad...with a UAI of that, getting a HD average wont compensate for that.
what do you want to do anyways?

Question abput Law??

If i did a bachelor in any course, (UWS), and did well, would i be elligible for transfer to law?

Do they allow transfer to law??

If they do, wat would be the requirements??

THANKS A LOT!!!!!

Re: Question abput Law??

that depends on how well you go in your first year tertiary study. You would want to get the best UAI as possible, if you were thinking of transferring, since that occupies half of the nrsl index. If you get 70, then maybe they might consider letting you into law if you get a high distinction average. If not then youre better off waiting till post grad.

Transferring to law

How hard is it to transfer to law after doing one year of a specific degree and get and average distinction, because i may not be able to get straight into law as my UAI will be in the 70s, but if i did one year in a degree, such as medical science, and obtained good marks. Will it be achievable to transfer.

University iam going to is UWS

Thanks

Re: Transferring to law

its alot harder to get a distinction in med sci or w/e then get a 90 uai

Re: Transferring to law

yeah, so do something incredibly easy and then attempt a transfer.

If you wanted to do law though, and were aiming for a UAI in the 70's then I'd wait until postgrad. If the UWS UAI for law is ~90, and assuming that there's a 5 UAI point differences between UAI and NRSL, then you might just make it in to UWS law (CSP).

UAI = Highest 70 UAI
NRSL score = 98 (I think that's the highest, from memory)

(79.95 + 98) / 2 = 88.

You'd make it in that case, but a GPA of 7 is pretty fucking hard.

UWS is a lot less stringent on internal transfers. If you do like a business degree, and transfer after 1st year, a D average makes you very competitive. I don't think you'll be set back in terms of doing a combined degree, it's still 5 years. You can also transfer at the end of your degree, but it would take an extra year (6 years), 3 years for Bus. 3 years for grad law.

So its not that bad...

 

[gracie007]

why dont u aim for a higher UAI if ur doing ur hsc next year? trust me it will be a HELL of a lot easier if you're wanting to get into those types of courses, if at all.

 

[Epic_Postings]

no offense buddy, but if all the effort you plan to put in during the HSC is something that will get you a 70 UAI (which is absolutely minimal effort), then chances are you are not up for courses such as law/medicine/pharmacy.

 

[jemsta]

but not everyone is academically bright, so you cant just say that someone who got 70 UAI didnt put as much effort as someone who got 99.

 

[Epic_Postings]

Good point Jemsta. Though I still cannot fathom someone studying 5+ hours a day outside of class and end up getting a 70, regardless of their intellect (unless they had a disability or handicap). If he wants to do degrees like Law, medicine, pharmacy etc, the least he could do is put in that effort like most of the other normal kids did.

 

[lexonfire]

but hang on, it says he's doing his hsc this year...

anyway, who knows what circumstances he could be in that makes him believe he'll get a UAI in the 70s. it ain't always gonna be an indicator of one's intelligence OR competence...

which sucks, because it sounds tricky transferring between unis.

 

[gracie007]

it doesnt matter how smart you are, its not necessarily reflected in ur uai. its just memorising and rewriting stuff

hmm , the woman @usyd pharmacy lecture said to transfer into pharm you need a GPA of 5.5 or something ..

did i hear wrong , or is that actually right ? cos another friend of mine said , to transfer into medicine , the GPA required is about 4 , which is a hell of a lot lower.

 

[Gavvvvvin]

You can transfer into any course you want at UWS after first semester as long as you have a GPA of 5.


Never mind they no longer do that.

i doubt youll be able to transfer with a GPA of 4 for med...youre friend is stupid. Youre better off waiting to post grad for med.
5.5 might be a tad low, but it depends on the competition...if there are many nrsl vying for a few pharm spots, then youll need a high GPA to make the application more competitive, but if the pharm lady says 5.5 then i guess its 5.5 as the absolute minimum to be competitive.

ah thanks =]
yeah .. i thought GPA of 4 for med sounded a bit .. low
