Also, would having have done only 6 courses done instead of 8 due to the fact that I have 1 (discontinue fail) and 1 (discontinue not fail) negate me even getting a chance?

What do you mean by "internal transfer"? What is your current degree?

For most change of degrees, at least if you are moving from one faculty to another, you generally have to reapply to UAC. Best check with the Business faculty office.

You will probably be judged based on some type of combination of your original ATAR and your current uni marks.

Thx for answering

Sir how confident are you that a discontinue fail counts as 0 to your wam?

In this case would it be better to just end up with a shit fail mark (30ish) instead???
Very confident.

Purely with respect to your WAM, a 'shit fail mark' would be preferable (but still not good of course because you will have to repeat the unit if it's a core subject).

Like I said, contact the Business School to discuss your options.

Discontinue fail counts as 0 to your WAM, so it may be difficult. Best to call up the uni here

Revising the question,

What would be the chance of me making an internal transfer to b.commerce at USYD if I took the needed summer school courses to fill up my fails and ended up with:

WAM: 66
ATAR: 91.00

cut off for b.commerce : 95~

Could you express your opinion in a percentage?

Ah you are doing B.Economics. Are you in your first year? If you are and if the system hasn't change, they take 50% of your ATAR into account and 50% of your WAM. With that WAM, it MIGHT be doable, a bit marginal since you are riding on bottom credit average. I'm not sure how it works, I imagine coming from B.Economics, it would help you?

Yes I am in first year. Thanks for the advice! I see you already done your b.economics degree with honours and UNSW, how are the job prospects after you complete the b.eco??

Also, does anyone else have any idea what my chances are of a transfer to b.commerce.

Honours helps a lot. Most of my year went to do Treasury, ABS, productivity, private economic consulting, management consulting, + government departments.

I beieve you would have to re-apply through UAC to go from BEc, to BCom - double check with the faculty office.

If that is then the case, your summer school results would have zero impact, because the results are not known till well after the UAC selection process takes place.

I strongly suggest that you if you want more specific answers you approach the admissions office with the main student centre
