which uni? (3 Viewers)

why aim for 81 .. when u can aim higher for 85? =]

motivate yourself harder to get a better mark ... and getting a better likelihood of getting entrance to ur course.
mainly coz a cut-off can jump substantially,,, eg: commerce jumped 90.xx to 95.xx

lol

That's good to know, thanks

I was always going to aim to get the 81 I need anyway, the 3 points were more of a safety net for me. I can be pretty confident I will get 81, I just like to have that reassurance lol... but I can't believe they would do that, just scrap it, with no warning whatsoever! I think I'm going to have to spread the word, I know a lot of people counting on those extra marks, thinking they only need to aim for the minimum they need. Meh, I'm not all that worried though, I still have EAS I can fall back on anyway, assuming I will get it.

knowing uow it will most likely drop anyway.

most uais r fake but ur not old enough to know that

yeh most unis tend to be very flexible with their UAI cutoffs, so if you have a UAI thats one point less than the required, they usually let you in if they have vacancies

Sydney Uni for a very superficial reason. It's campus is absolutely breathtaking! And I'm sure the professors and all that jazz are good too haha....
Though I think that if I was ever to undergo a technological sorta course at Uni, I'd go to UTS .

What you say makes sense- but me having severely autistic brother combined with workaholic parents in denial of situation means that I take up much of the "carer" role, hence the application for EAS. So I like to be realistic. 81 is realistic, anything above for me will be kinda impossible based on circumstance. And Wollongongs approximate cut off for commerce has always been around the 80 mark... but if I don't get in, i don't get in. It's not the end of the World, theres always TAFE.

But I still try.

I will be happy with anything above 80.

If you miss out on commerce at UOW theres a backdoor way of some sort...you can do some commerce thing through TAFE or some private college thing neear the uni...maybe its a Diploma in business...I'm not exactly sure what it is or how it works, but I think if you finish it you can go into second year commerce...

I'm no expert on it, but i know a few people I went to school with are doing something like that now. Ask your careers advisor about it though

EDIT: Haha just read some other thread, didn't realise you were aware of it already

Haha, I'm same, except I like the Newcastle campus. Probably because it is the only one I have been to... *twiddles thumbs*

yet I want to go to ANU for a similarly superficial reason - it is the highest ranked in Aust.

how is sydney uni and unsw all those rankings??

 

[watatank]

they are high enough, but don't worry about it anyway, unless you plan to do postgrad. those rankings are based on research mainly anyway.

Might want to ask in the Newcastle forum. I'm sure you'd get a better response there.
