    How do i prepare for co-op?

    Wow....you do realise that they can tell whether you've done the stuff for a while or not? Starting everything with HSC in a few months isn't going to help with studying either. Ok so the idea isn't what you 'need' to take up but what you want to do. If you are just going to do stuff for the...

    1st year BIT textbooks

    The older BITs usually organise and sell old textbooks to the lower years, might want to wait for that. Also could talk to your 3rd year buddy and see if they still have the books.....

    First year elective: Info systems

    Fortunately, I am a BIT.....=P. There are always going to be incompetent people at work...There seems to be a shortage of skilled BAs so that's probably why there are more dodgy BAs around. But devs who churn out defects after defects isn't a pretty site either. IS in commerce is more of a...

    First year elective: Info systems

    You seem to assume that being a BA instant places you in the technology illiterate category, even so high level design is not meant to nor need involve actual understanding of the implemented technology. But that said, I think a BA without technical knowledge is never going to be a good BA...

    First year elective: Info systems

    I don't know what you base your comments on but they are very broad. Ok so first year INFS courses aren't crash hot...I wouldn't recommend anyone to do 1602 in fact. Nothing compared to how much you learn in COMP first year sure. But 1603 is a great course taught by a good lecturer, the tutors...

    Offer for BIT. How do you accept?

    Probably useless giving advice now but..... Yeah you enrol as 3979 just like the non co-ops, but you get transferred to 3971 after 1 semester. Apparently that happens with everyone each year...Money gets paid to your nominated bank account, you can also check on myunsw once the payments are...

    UNSW Co-op

    Why would we not want to tell you what was asked? If you actually read through this whole thread, you might find a lot of tips about the interview. The reason people forget about it is because they were under stress and more importantly... it would be almost a year since the last lot of...

    UNSW Co-op

    The minimum UAI for the BIT is something like 93.7?, so it's not too high. And i know someone who got the minimum UAI required....lol. So applications close 30/9, hmmm.....if i find time i'll try to post a new thread about BIT soon.

    UNSW Co-op

    Unfortunately not.....but if there's 3 sponsors...there will most likely be 3 places However, I do know that the new Software Engineering co-op will have 3 sponsors and 3 places...=P

    UNSW Co-op

    yeah apparently actuarial cares about the maths marks a lot because a lot of people fail 2nd year actuarial and they don't want co-ops to fail...=P

    UNSW Co-op

    770 is the total number of interviews given that year i believe, they don't say how many people actually applied, if my post was confusing...well...sorry...=P I still think 1000 sounds like too many, also sounds too 'look 1k is a nice big number', but meh....you can ask some accounting co-op...

    UNSW Co-op

    Thought i made it clear somewhere in the thread, co-op is not really about marks (well for most co-op scholarships, good luck anyone trying for actuarial..>_<). In fact I am pretty sure it likes to advertise itself with the word "leadership" a lot (even getting us to go to a leadership camp in...

    UNSW Co-op

    They aren't there to cross-examine you.....but they will ask questions like what you thought of blah (refering to your application) and if you can't say much either because you didn't do blah....or because you didn't care much about doing blah, that comes off as a bad impression. Then again....a...

    UNSW Co-op

    You mean do I have a co-op scholarship?....Yeah, 2nd year BIT co-op. I think I've mentioned before, they don't care about marks that much in general as long as you have the marks to get into the normal version of the course, they'll take you. But extra-cirricular and leadership potential is what...

    UNSW Co-op

    I think they are making a new site for co-op, that's why the updating of the current site is a bit slow this year. If you want dates send a quick email to b.okane@unsw.edu.au , i an pretty sure she'll help you out there. However suppose the interview dates are after your planned leave for...

    UNSW Co-op

    Applications open soon I think, interviews are sometime after HSC....offers are made mid-late Dec before UAI comes out....at least as far as I can recall... Check the co-op website for more info! http://www.coop.unsw.edu.au/content.aspx?URL=student/futurestudents.htm

    UNSW Co-op

    No exactly true.....depends on which co-op you are looking at Actuarial tend to look for a higher uai so your trial marks matter a lot more. Otherwise the uai is merely a "meet the minimum requirement and you are in" because they make the offers before the uai comes out. I think there are...

    UNSW Co-op

    There's usually about 15 co-op scholarships in actuarial. A few in finance but a lot of people can't maintain the distinction average needed for finance and so drop out. Accounting is another 'big' co-op with 10+. But BIT (business information technology) is the largest at about 20 per year...=P
