    Schedule for academic orientation?

    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has a copy of the events and times for orientation day? Also - so we meet our mentor on orientation day? How does our mentor know what day to show up to meet us since there are multiple orientation days? Or are they there all week?

    Are there role calls at Orientation Day?

    For events that are booked, are people who aren't booked attending events actually identified? For past students please base this on your experience. Also, what's the phone number for a MQ new student advisory service (if there is one?). I'd rather ring then send emails to ask questions. Thanks.

    For those who got an offer into combined law, what was your ATAR?

    That's the thing - I was never considered in the Main Round or subsequent rounds because I stupidly put law in a position in my preferences that made it not even looked at. At the time I was happy with the offer I got. I still am pretty happy, but my desire to do law has again triumphed in my...

    2011 legal studies crime essay

    Not what would I do - what did I do i.e. I sat the 2011 HSC in Legal Studies. :) I integrated the major sections of Crime into one essay - I chose 4 and did a lengthy paragraph for each along with intro and conclusion, some demonstrating the law favouring community interests over individual...
