Hey guys, Just wondering on what final thoughts anyone has on UNSW vs UTS design, I have been told to remember that UAI shouldn't be used to decide which courses are better, and that the UNSW design facilities are basically brand new. I have accepted my UNSW Industrial Design as the UAI for...

Hey guys, just wondering about UAI cutoffs...seen as the DFEE has gone out the window for this year, will the UAI cutoffs lower as to accept more students as no-one will be paying their way into courses? Also, could or will this be counteracted by the fact that this years' Year 12 has been one...

Hey guys, just wondering which option would be better improve my chances of getting into the course I wanted to do (B Industrial Design @ UTS), the UAI cutoff is 83.15 and I got 80.15. With the UTS bonus points scheme, I get 6 points, which would enable me to do Engineering, which I thought...

Anyone have any ideas? What's the likelihood of getting a late/last round offer on a design course? Would it be better to wait it out or just do engineering and transfer? Any help, other ideas etc will be much appreciated.

For Engineering I get the maximum 6, but none for the design course, the only course in the Design/Architecture/Building I get bonus points is for Construction, where I get the full 5.

Yeah so did I, but I'm not sure if that would be the case with design, I assume there would be plenty of applicants...I'm right to get into UNSW Industial Design and the UTS Engineering, just don't know which of my options is the best to get into the UTS Industrial Design, which is really what I...

Hey guys, Not quite sure what to do now regarding uni, i got 80.15 for my UAI and my first preference, B Industrial Design at UTS, has a cutoff of 83.15 as of '07. I've figured out a few options but not sure which to take; 1. Do B Industrial Design at UNSW for a year and then transfer (I don't...

So, the fact i am in a cohort that is 'smart' helps me, yes? Because i am ranked so low compared to these people, how am I more advantaged than coming first in my subjects at #600 school? If my ranks are poor (which they are, clearly) then my external is going to be averaged around these poor...

Ok so basically, my school is ranked #20 give or take 1 or 2 places, but my internal ranks are shit. My internal marks aren't bad, but my ranks are bottom 50% in all of my subjects. How am I benefitted from going to a selective school exactly? Our teachers tell us 'If you were at a non-selective...

Doesn't this mean at higher ranked schools (better academic achievers), the range of marks is smaller (more people are getting higher marks than at a lower academic schol) thus proving it to be a disadvantage for anyone in a top ranked school who isn't getting top ranks? Personally, I'm at a...

Hey guys, Just wondering which is more important, your school's rank or your rank. My school is ranked 20th, but i'm not achieving very good ranks...what does this mean for my HSC marks and which will affect me more? Our school isn't very good at giving UAI estimates, nor do I have any idea...
