    1st year Actuarial Studies 2006

    It's prolly best to follow the recommended program, or you can get totally whipped later on with really crappy timetabling for exams.

    explain i-banks to me..

    Hehe...I was jking...but there is a logic to the argument: Generally, investing = gambling = a vice that is seen as wrongful behaviour by society i.e. immoral by definition Note: Just because there is risk doesn't mean it can't be immoral, i.e. stealing is immoral yet you risk gettin caught...

    Law school leeches

    Timetabling first year law units

    acst workload

    Prolly more than HSC, in terms of quality, but about the same in quantity (really depends, some pl who get 99+ struggle with the course, quite a few drop out early). 2nd year seems to be the biggest hurdle for most pl

    You should say that you will utilize the aid/opportunites provided by the scholarship to its maximum potential.

    Query about transferring(defecting) to Macq. Acst program.

    Basically the prereqs for the control cycle are the 300 level ACST units (not all of them) . You need CCI before CCII as well

    Actuarial Studies + Law...worth it?

    Heh, I decided to do law and ACST at Macquarie simply cause it was closer to home (ima so lazy, actually my was UAI was more than enough to get into the combined law/acst at UNSW). Btw you might want to check the 5 yr thing at UNSW, not sure if that program includes the part IIs, as the Macq...
