Summer School for HSC graduate (1 Viewer)

[williamc]

So i've finished my HSC, im set on doing a B economics at usyd in 08.

After reading up on the website im considering doing Introductory Macroeconomics (ECON1002) at summer school to accelerate my degree. Thing is, it says on the website you have to be enrolled by dec 14 2007, but we don't get our results and UAI until later. The unit itself starts before we even get our offers for uni through UAC.

What to do?

I don't think you can do it.
First of all you are not formally enrolled in a course let alone the university. Second of all, most people do Introductory Microeconomics ECON1001 before they do Introductory Macroeconomics ECON1002.

I wouldn't care which of the either i did. It says on the site "available for HSC students" though.

I dont go to your uni, but i have to say it is not possible for you to do a summer session subject at uni if have not been given an offer or yet alone enrolled lol. There is no rush anyway trust me uni is not fun as it seems, its got a lot of responsibilites.
Also send the link that says "available for HSC students".


Also im gonna do econ111 during summer at uow and there is no thing saying hsc students can do it.

Yep you can do it. You shouldnt have too much trouble enrolling. Just sort out your fees and you'll be ok.

Bear in mind if you dont get into a Bcom at Usyd, you could get credit for this unit of study at any other uni.

Na the HSC didn't burn me out at all. 4 months is too long. A 2 month break is suffice.

Thanks guys.
