Received an ATAR of 62, currently have GPA of 4 out of 4 and HD average (87 WAM). Macquarie Uni.

This thread is kind of depressing, I applied for big 4 internships the start of this year and received offers from all 4 except for Deloitte (received AC offer from Deloitte but decided not to go to it). I think people need to stop focusing on the job market and realise that you're the only one...

Yep that was the confusing part for me i have no idea what this subject actually involves
