The cutoff is NOT artificially high- you will NOT get into usyd hecs law with 99.55. (well you wouldn't have in the past few years- of course the cutoff could drop this year but unlikely) having said this, a significant proportion of usyd law kiddies didn't get the 99.6, when u take into...

what about just saying "people who have been harassing us in our town get out"? I understand that people want to feel safe when they go to the beach (or wherever) and not have to worry about being bashed/raped etc. And I understand that a lot of this fear stems from actions of lebanese gangs...

your careers advisor is a complete idiot! you're much better off taking a subject load that you can cope with and doing well than trying to do too much and end up doing worse in everything. as long as you are comfortable with your subject choices, there's no point doing extra if you don't want...

if this is a response from one of those generic group interviews, then this is a good email. it means that you were successful and when a suitable position for you becomes available, they will contact you (but this might not be for a while).

can somebody sticky this please?

a good way to learn english grammar is to learn a foreign language, that way you have something to compare it with. as for the old paper: sure it may 'test your intelligence' but would you people really prefer to actually have to think during the exam than just to ramble off some...

i find it pretty ironic (and wrong) that millions and millions of lives have been wasted in the name of 'religion'. but creating more hatred against religion isn't going to help anything. (sorry if this has already been said but i didnt feel like reading through 20 odd pages of posts).

im sure you did fine melsc, from what you said. they dont expect you to include everything as long as you included some cases & legislation it will be good. important not to worry about it anymore and concentrate on the rest of your exams now

you should be able to apply through uac still, but you will probably have to pay a $100 fee or something.

you can transfer into combined law at unsw/usyd if you have completed exactly one year of undergraduate study in ANY degree in any uni. if you started straight international studies at unsw and then achieved a transfer into law (difficult! you would want a uai of 96+ still and at least a...

no, that's not true mr 'brains and work ethics to get UAI of 90+' will probably be ranked highly in all his subjects and get the mark he deserves if he performs just as well in his hsc. he just doesn't have a safety net as someone in a higher ranked school would. and if that doesn't make sense...

Why does every thread that even mentions uws always turn into - uws-bashing fun fest for everyone - natstar comes to save the day for uws - natstar-bashing fun fest for everyone. ??? i'm sure the person who startd the thread wouldn't appreciate having to wade through pages and pages of...

jsut responding to the first person's post again- no- you won't have to repeat that particular unit of study and yes, that does mean that you can't do any senior units in that subject area unless you have passed two other junior subjects in government. but if you fail i'm pretty sure that...

can someone remind me of what josh did in the show before his comeback? i can vaguely remember him being dani's bf and people not liking him but nothing else?

have you thought about doing international studies at unsw? because that's essentially the same as arts (lang) at usyd except you have to do compulsory international politics subjects (but if you wanted to do international studies at usyd you would have to do that anyway). international studies...
