I've gone through the whole UNSW online enrolling process, having chosen subjects and created my timetable. Does that mean I'm completely enrolled? In the 'my applications' tab, my status is set at 'Matriculation'. Thanks

Thanks, how do I find out if my enrolment is successful? I've gone through all the steps on the 'myunsw' website and I've enroled for courses. But my status still says 'matrication' On UNSW website it says this: MATRICULATION – this indicates that your acceptance of offer has been confirmed...

I did one sem of uni in 2009 where I failed all 4 subjects. I'm now back at the same uni (UNSW) doing a complete different subject. In my enrolment I went through the same process as I did a year ago, entering my TFN and selecting that I wanted HECS. However, can my application be rejected...

I'm interested in engineering but I'm a bit worried about the fail rates I hear for especially mechanical engineering. What is the one with the least fail rate? Is it civil? Thanks.

Good point. Well, obviously I've put down better unis like UNSW and USyd as higher (1st/2nd) choices, but I'm a bit doubtful as to whether I'll get in either of these. Macq comm is currently 4th on my preferences. So I'm looking into more choices since my interests lie in commerce/economics...

Ah, so G8 meaning just UNSW and USyd and not UTS and Macq? However, I've actually heard that Macq commerce/eco is more highly regarded than that of UTS and Syd.

Is this true for Macq? Oh and btw by commerce I don't mean actuarial. My math isn't good enough for that.

Thanks, I'm hearing good things about eco/comm degrees in terms of getting jobs. However, I hear a lot of people comparing unis. How important is this really? As long as I go to one of the 'larger' unis (UNSW, USyd, UTS, Macq) would that still matter? Do employers really place a lot of...

What exactly do you mean by 'hard to come out'? Is there a really high dropout rate or what? because if that's the only reason I shouldn't go to Macq then its not enough reason to stop me. I know I'm going to do well and try my best. Its coming out of uni and the prospects I get then that...

I'm still not entirely sure of my preferences for next yr and have been switching them around a lot (offers in jan). I was just wondering if commerce at Macq is a course that gives graduates good job prospects. I'm wondering because commerce degrees at UNSW, UTS, USyd all have cutoffs at...

I've heard subjects like engineering for example have a high % of graduates getting jobs once they've gotten their bachelor degrees. However, Im wondering what other degrees also have high rates of employment and how much the university that you go to affect this. I'm quite undecided on my...

Sweet, so MacqU takes only higher of UAI or GPA for up to 6 months uni study. Is this the same for UNSW, USyd and other unis as well? Because I know for sure its not the case for UTS (they take UAI & GPA even if I've only done 6 months of tertiary study).

Thanks, but in the case that they do take my uni marks (since i failed all 4 subjects), what would that drag me down to in terms of uni entry rank? With a uai of 91 and a WAM of 20, would that mean my entrance mark becomes (91+20)/2 which would be a lowly 55. because in this case i'm screwed...

Hey, I started an engineering degree in unsw for one semester before discontinued the degree and went for economics (so less than 1 yr of degree done). My WAM for this one semester of engo was around 20 (I was a total tool, the course was hard, and I didn't try.) Anyway, if I now average say...

Thanks Spence! I'm reapplying now as a non recent school leaver and it's asking about my current/past jobs etc. Does anyone know if these affect my chances of getting into courses?
