Nooo.. you're wrong. Torts is one of the most interesting courses available. Foundations and Civil and Criminal Procedures is an absolute bore. It's not hard to do well in torts, just don't screw up the exam.
Wow, you called them and they gave you such info? Back when I applied for a transfer, they wouldn't divulge any information regarding the admission.
Congrats to all you got an offer, and for those who didn't, try again harder next year. Or better still go get a JD.

On the other hand, first year law subjects like...
Living on-campus is absolutely great. You don't have to cook, clean and you can wake up late. Only drawbacks are the cost and increased circle of friends ("could" affect study patterns)
I love class participation marks, easy 10-20% marks. I would also suggest you talk to your tutors after the tutorial. Ask a few general questions, introduce yourself. That way they will have a better impression of you as a person.
If your ATAR is strong enough (like 99+) and you redo the UMAT and get a reasonable score, it might be easier for you to apply as a recent year 12 school leaver than a transferee. The reason is for courses like law (no idea about medicine) in USYD, 30% of the intake is for transferees. Whereas...
