problem with UTS is that Design courses today, demand a ridiculously high UAI
97+ Vis comm i think at UTS...


Thats the only problem with the HSC and UAI, courses we want to get into require extremely high UAI's which arent exactly "smart subjects if u understand what i mean..... ahh jeez.. i want architecture at UTS.. 91.10

sigh

94.65 actually- not that bad, from memory they give out 5 bonus uai points if you get band sixes in art, dt, sdd etc so you could get a away with a 90

if you wanna combine it with international studies well that's a different story, if you want to do it with interior design good luck getting 99.9. its the highest cutoff there is.

but from what i've seen the design/ int studies courses fluctuated A LOT like 5-10 points. the year before interior design and int studies was only 89.4 - big increase to 99.9.

i swear there must be this weird trend with international studies. if something like vis comm is out of reached-it was 99.9 the year before people would of opted for the more reasonable interior design --> increase popluarity for ineteror design pushing the cut off up for next year and there would be a huge drop in vis comm. so i guess you might have a chance for interior design next year and fashion and texiles where as don't even think about industrial design, vis comm if you're lucky.
