fair but swap finance and engineering
Does reputation really make a difference. I don't think it makes much difference for computer science or software engineering, but it might make a difference for other types.

For Finance university ranking is important though. Or so I hear

Most people fail engineering, ngl if you got a 60 atar you really don't stand a chance (unless you try) but if you tried why would you get a 60 atar and how're you possibly going to survive further ext 2 math??
I'm not saying they stand a chance. I'm saying that they can do it. You can't EVER do med with a 60 atar. Or if you can, you're set back 10 years. But you can do Engineering with a 60 atar.

My former friend want to Engineering at WSU and he's so fucked if he gets in. He's getting a band 4 in standard math and he's going to get all band 3s except for math maybe english. He's so fucked and gonna fail. I don't have his contact info but I want to hear how badly XD

I'm talking specifically about engo. I know people with 99+ atars and some school duxes struggling with engineering + there's a high dropout rate, so it's not as easy as Interdice makes it look like.
Engo is difficult. But there are harder degrees. Difficulty between different fields is a consideration though. Computer Science and Software Engineering are probably among the easier ones. Aerospace Engineering is probably fucking difficult. But Law, Med and Actuary are harder

reputation makes a MASSIVE difference for finance, law etc, only a small difference for engineering.

Bro you aint getting anywhere in engineering with 70 atar let alone a 60

Enjoy the feeling while it lasts for getting your ATAR. Honestly the feeling died after 1 hr after result, just went back to playing games and chilling. Trust its not that deep, but just waiting for the moment is the most joy/fear you'll experience in your high school years.
idk man depends on the ATAR you get

if u really wanna work hard and succeed in engineering its possible , despite what a four number indicator says.

i get wym tho, that if u do have a lower atar then u might be less motivated to succeed in general, so u might struggle in engineering.

What makes you say you’re set back 10 years( exaggerated I’m assuming) for med if you get a 60 atar? Surely it’s a matter of resitting HSC exams/an alternate pathway to gain a spot in uni and try further to get into med later on which is really only a couple years extra. Perhaps I’m giving the benefit of doubt to this hypothetical person since in my mind if someone is truly intent on pursuing a certain career, there will be a way for them to achieve this.

Save the copium for Thursday. We all know usyd is way better for every degree except maybe unsw for elec engineering. We’re dreaming if we think uni doesn’t matter for employment.
actuarial toooo!!! (usyd doesnt offer it) and tbh usyd med must be shit when its all just mindless clones whos parents told them its med or homelessness

lol what 😭 unsw and usyd are both great unis , i dont think u would see a huge difference between the two (academically speaking).

also, for many careers as long as u get a degree with accreditations and all that u will be fine, regardless of uni. there r definetly some careers/degrees where uni does matter, specifically law and finance, but aside from that no employer will rlly care, moreso grades, and potentially work experience if u can get an internship.

Imagine resetting atar cause yoy get 60 atat lmao. Like no one would.

Youd have to wait until ur mature age. Then gwt bachelor of medical studies. The transfer to med. Like 5 years lost

Lol indeed. Ask around - when would WSU get hired over usyd ? Or UNSW law v usyd law - too funny
off the top of my head here are some degrees/careers where employers could really care less about ur uni, so wsu and usyd comparison is irrelevant:
- nursing
- medicine (at least if u become a general doctor in a hospital)
- many it roles (though gpa and work experience would be held much higher than uni in this field)
- construction management
- many engineering jobs
- psychology
- education
- many accounting jobs (again, gpa and workexperience)

im sure theres many more, but for some reason theres a mindset in sydney that the uni u attend will make or break ur career. while i will agree this has some merit, id say if u attend uts, usyd, unsw, or macquarie uni, for many degrees its really just not that big of a deal. if someone has a d-hd average at uts, a good internship and a good attitude, i cant see why an employer would arbitrarily discard them as an applicant just bc they attended uts...
