I agree, just try it out and see whether you like it. Even if you start off with a less prestigious uni, you can always transfer to a better one if you so wish to.
Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017
What do you mean by know much about management consulting? As in what it is or the current job market for it or what the job involves?
I don't think the university one attends is a major consideration, when major firms employ-they are basically looking for
Academic excellence-usually distinction or higher
Well rounded personality (sociable) AND
extracurricular involvement/relevant industry experience
When I was doing my HSC, I personally hand wrote notes because it is much easier to ingrain it into your memory, but I didn't read over my notes very often because it was the process of summarising that enabled me to increase my understanding, and not really reading over notes. In retrospect, if...
I think it depends on where your interest lies, one thing you need to keep in mind is that you can always change degrees through your uni degree, it is not like you can only choose one degree and never change it until you finish that degree, you could start with Commerce/Engineering or another...
You will figure it out as you go along haha-and no you don't declare your major when your ATAR comes out. You usually can declare your major during your first of second year of uni. Also there's no major in law because you are required to do many different areas of law that there isn't an area...
I think internal transfer is always an option, it doesn't actually matter what degree you do-i.e. don't do criminology because you think it is mostly aligned to law, because when you study law degree, you will be required to study many different areas of law, and criminal law is just a subject...
It might be difficult since all the papers were separated question by question for marking in different piles, and there is a lot of pages that needs to be scanned for one person, and given that the organisers are doing it on a voluntary basis and they have full time work (the people who wrote...
Hey OP, just remember it is over and we look towards the future, not always in the past. It is done and dusted and one or two exams don't define you or your future. There are still quite a few exams left-try your best in those ones and be proud of how far you have come and the fact you probably...
There is a difference between whether you can and whether you should. In theory we can do many things that are illegal or immoral or unethical, but whether we should is a different story. Even if it might get you through the HSC, doing anything similar later on in life would be detrimental to...
I think it would be more reflective of your performance if you could include what is your overall performance in the year, not just in trials, and clarify what you mean by a high ranking selective school, i.e. does this mean top 20, top 10, top5? All the best of luck with your ventures :)
CLIM1001-first year online only climate change course-good if you are interested in learning about climate change through different perspective and you want to have more time-and since this is online only course, you can save a lot of time and study in your own time. Doing the course right now...
Be very self-disciplined, your results can slip faster than you can realise if you enjoy the freedom of uni too much, and make meaningful friends-don't force friendships in first year
I think be more concerned about answering the question and less concerned about chucking in critical perspectives last minute, also the importance of critical perspectives will depend also on the exact text you are studying.
I think definitely life experiences lessons. The knowledge you gain from high school, a lot of it will be forgotten very soon, for example, I don't remember much, if at all what I learnt from my year 10 commerce classes, however, what has stuck with me to this date is the head teacher spending...
Actually it depends on the course you are doing, some courses at UNSW is moderated, from my experience with law subjects, all subjects are moderated on a normal distribution curve, essentially means often the mark you get is moderated for each assessment task against how well your peers is...
