It's hard for me to say since I did so much maths in high school/uni so I can't really gauge what its like for the average student, though don't worry - I'd hazard a guess that 80% of the other students would be at the same level as you in terms of HSC maths. When you learn mathematical concepts...

I found the Merit Scholar program to be useless, to be honest. I got absolutely nothing out of it really, other than a fancy little title to go on my transcript/resume, although other peoples experience may differ. I didn't get the scholarship though, and I still chose Macquarie Commerce over...

LOL. If only this forum still had the rep system...

B. Comm - Professional Accounting will give you CA/CPA accreditation. You can also combine that with a B Applied Finance (which I believe has RG146 accreditation from ASIC) which will take 4 years. Other than that, I don't think you can double major a commerce degree and get the same...

It's based on your final grade, so you'll have to wait until results are released and use the grades you get given then.

Have you done STAT170? Because ECON241 is not much harder than that at all, and if you do that in your first year it means that in your second year you should be able to fit in a 100lvl subject which should give you a break from your harder second year subjects.

Getting 95+ in a subject is definitely not common at all, and there are very few subject areas where (IMO) it is actually possible. I think the only subjects where those kinds of marks are possible are in subjects which heavily involve maths (where you can 100% know you either do/don't grasp a...

But if you haven't been instructed to use Turnitin, just leave that bit blank.

Have you considered Marketing or HR? They would seem to complement the Anthropology major in your Arts degree (and if applying for all these grad jobs has taught me anything, it's that HR seems like a really breezy job haha). And assuming you will be using the Commerce degree as the 'basis' for...

Keep in mind that the content has changed quite a bit from previous years. I really enjoyed the subject when I did it last year and looking at some of the lecture notes from this year, I didn't recognise a thing.

1. Yes 2. Yes 3. Not really. IMO, when you say you have a Distinction average, it means your average mark is between 75 - 84, not that your GPA = 4.

This only happened to me for the first time last week (after 4 years). I think it's more or less there just if you're borderline Pass/Fail, but they see you've attended all lectures/tutes then they'll be more likely to bump it up to a pass.

If you hate stat171, you going to have heaps of fun for the rest of your degree... Other than that, good to hear you're liking Macquarie so far!

He didn't do stat170 by the way.

You really do need all your textbooks for just about all first year accounting/finance subjects. I've known a couple of people who wouldn't buy the books and just use the library ones, but in my opinion thats waaaay too much of a hassle having to find a spare book in the library, photocopy pages...
