Just wanted to ask if anybody has recently transferred from MQ to either USyd or UNSW in a science related course, and what your experience of the shift was like?
I'm trying to weigh up the pros and cons. I have an opportunity to possibly transfer to a BAdvScience internally at MQ, (in a major that's not completely related to my interest) or transfer to a BSci or BSci(Advanced) at USyd or UNSW in the major I'm looking for.
My 2 biggest concerns are that science at either of those schools will make getting decent grades more difficult. Is there really that much of a difference, or is someone who has a D/HD average at MQ, likely to maintain that at USyd/UNSW with the same study habits and efforts?
My second concern is that neither of those schools are forthcoming about how much of my first year units they'll grant me credit for. I've tried to align as many units as possible in first year, but I don't want to get accepted and then find out I have to repeat more than 50% of 1st year again.
All in all, to anybody who has transferred, do you think it was worth it?
