*bump* I just downloaded the UoS from this site, and man this course looks like a load of crap. Anybody beg to differ? :(

Don't rely on this 100%, but you can probably get your student ID after enrolment. Last year, I accidentally forgot the last step of the enrolment process - getting my ID card. I just called the SIO the day after when I realised my mistake, and then went in a couple of days later to get the card.

Yeah, the ID's required to get your student card.

Yay! I got a USyd Law transfer too :) Though I'm holding out for a late round Comm (Lib) offer because I've realised that's the course I'd prefer more.

How do you withdraw from your previous course? MyUni? I just assumed it would be done on enrolment day. Sorry for all the questions, I just can't seem to find much info on the Usyd site :o

Would the Results Notice USyd mails out suffice as appropriate documentation? I don't particularly want to spend $11.00 (yeah yeah I'm a scrooge) on an Academic Transcript that only covers my 1st year at uni, and will be only used as evidence for enrolment =/ And when applying for credit, do...

Thanks for the info :) I wish you were wrong though :( So don't want to brave those enrolment queues again.

Yeah I had the same problem too when choosing my 1st year history subjects. I did HSTY1076 (American History from Lincoln to Clinton) and HSTY1044 (20th Century Politics and Culture). I found American history too concerned with the cultural/social sides of history, whereas I prefer the...

Can anybody enlighten me on the enrollment process for transfers? Provided I get the transfer, will I have to enroll in person like the 1st years, or can I just vary things online via MyUni's pre-enrollment?

Just curious, where did you hear that from? My friend doing the degree says only 30 people got accepted in her year (2008). I just dismissed this as hearsay until now... Hopefully the quotas have risen in the past couple of years =/ I know of at least 7 people applying for a transfer who have...

Wow, I didn't know this. Two questions: 1. What if you didn't do the full 48 cp load in your 1st year? ...are you then not considered =/ I only did 42 cp last year. 2. What if you got above the UAI cut-off? My 2007 UAI pretty much guarantees me transferring into Comm (liberal studies)....but...

One of my friends screwed up the HSC too. He's basically going to do a non-awards program at Macquarie Uni (you should read up if USyd offers it too). This is where he does 12 credit points worth of uni subjects and if he gets a PASS average, he's allowed to transfer into BArts in 2nd year...

The Faculty website says that it's very competitive to get a place in Finance honours, with the stated minimum being a WAM of 70. Does anybody know what the actual minimum WAM actually is? Would a WAM of 78 not be enough?

Oh that's so true. I reckon the extra Comm degree gives a slight edge over single degree Engo students, but the extra Engo degree matters for nothing if you're headed for the business industry.

Erm, you have to take into account that uni in reality operates a lot differently from your high school perspective. Last year, I too thought that a double degree would show you have more versatility, critical thinking etc but it's really not the case. I'm doing Comm/Engineering at USyd...

my reaction too. thanks for the info guys :)

As the title says. Would my slacking off this year affect me in 4 years' time?

Of course you can. I'm averaging (around 50/180) at my top 20 selective school and my UAI estimate's APPROXIMATELY 98.7

I was thinking that too. For my prelim, I got 94 in 2 Unit and 40(/50..haha) for Ext 1. I think I'm only around average out of my cohorts who are planning to continue 4U next year. Would it be more worthwhile, UAI-wise, to drop 4u and focus on getting a high 2u mark? Or stick around and get an...

How about if you were aiming for a 99+ UAI? Would that screw up your chances? :(
