2023 ATAR/HSC Marks (1 Viewer)

My comments are about getting the first job out of uni tbf. The big paying grad roles def favour usyd in just about all disciplines. Fair point re nursing etc

not sayin they will discard uts macq but vs usyd - which usually has a higher atar and rightly or wrongly is perceived as better.

i agree with u on law and finance, that there is certainly a factor of "prestige" that companies will consider. that being said in many industries (mainly stem related) uts has quite a good reputation similar to usyd and unsw, including some quant roles afaik, which are a big paying grad role. i also mentioned macquarie in the conversation with uts, usyd and unsw because im pretty sure they have a good reputation in finance, mostly because they also have acturial science as a program, but i would say they are weaker in many other fields.

(i think everyone here can agree that wsu is the worst option by far though for highly competitive fields excl health related fields, i say this even though i live very close to a campus and i really wish that they were more respected)

unsw better for everything except maybe law

 

[itsalovehaterelo]

Nah they are just v smart lol
u cannot deny

YEAH ofc theyre so smart but they must have had so little real life experience w jobs, social life etc

 

[itsalovehaterelo]

unsw better for everything except maybe law

law has gone to shit

 

[gimmegimmegimme]

Wait so is usyd better for finance or unsw? How does one decide, provided they have met the atar requirements?

 

[ExtremelyBoredUser]

Your atar makes or breaks your career so it is a big moment champ

Nah im speaking from personal experience, if you feel like you've already gone way beyond your required ATAR it didnt feel like anything. I can't speak for med and other v. high ATAR req degrees

just go for whichever ones closer if you live in Sydney tbh

 

[nsw..wollongong]

usyd med must be shit when its all just mindless clones whos parents told them its med or homelessness

nah i gotta disagree med is med, imagine someone discrediting ur hard work only bc "u go to usyd eww"

what if u don't live in sydney, would you say its worth moving there to go to a sydney uni

as someone who's prolly gonna relocate bc my closest uni doesn't offer my desired degree, it all depends on what you wanna do and the job prospects in that area. eg, maybe business + finance would be cool to do in sydney bc there's more job opportunities there than in a less densely populated or a regional area. but also keep in mind that the cost of living is much higher in sydney than in other places

yea totally agree, I live in Newcastle which still presents itself with lots of opportunities being the 2nd most populated city in NSW. I think it's reasonable with the cost of living crisis right now that it's better to get a job in my local area then move up in the ranks of employment to Sydney if necessary.

Macquarie Software Engineering doens't have calculus. If you are doing software engineering/computer sciecne I'd avoid macquarie

 

[hayden2402]

You’re facing 10 years to life - who’s your defence lawyer - Macquarie or usyd ?

the most sucessful/experienced

 

[carrotsss]

what if u don't live in sydney, would you say its worth moving there to go to a sydney uni

that’s sorta up to you to weigh up, personally I’m moving because there aren’t any unis where I live and so I might as well go to Sydney but if u don’t have support from ur parents it is extremely difficult to afford

i would just go to newcastle uni, probably not worth it to relocate to syd since its already decent

i have a question,until when can we change our uac preferences?

 

[Hsc1111]

reputation makes a MASSIVE difference for finance, law etc, only a small difference for engineering.

Why is uni reputation so important for those degrees??

 

[stevie444]

Why is uni reputation so important for those degrees??

because job applications in these industries are often ridiculously competitive- as a result employers begin differentiating between candidates based off of their uni as a starting point
