Hello Redom... hmmm, there seems to be somewhat of a lack of posts this year.

 

[Timothy.Siu]

[lyounamu]

^yep it does.

I am not applying. I don't want to go to UTS, I would prefer UNSW.

Aww why is this thread so lonely haha. I applied last week and on website it says they''l get back to you within 1 week... does that happen since they get such a huge vol of apps... anyone heard from them?

 

[skepsis]

Haha... so true. Nobody's really talking about BAcc ;P
Kinda sad... it's a really good course

 

[mr2yen]

I got an interview, i didnt even send in part B how did this happen?

 

[pearling]

^ That's weird, did you give it in to your school and maybe they faxed it in for you coz that';s what my school does...

And I got an interview too, <30 places for 200+ people...the pressure haha.

 

[thorz]

I havent heard of BAcc takign people from other degrees ..
cause if they are, they would've by now, we're one person short in first year

Can anyone please explain the selection proccess in particular my realistic chance of getting in from the reserve list with 75%
My email said reserve list 75% is it worth waiting for or should i just accept cadetships

Hey! Well i know a lot of people who are doign the BAcc course with a lower percentage than that (like 50%) and they're doing really good. I personally reckon that you have a good chance, but really nail the HSC because that will guarantee you a spot.

 

[Matt Nelson]

thanks, what UAI (ATAR) will i need to garantee the spot

 

[anintax3]

To be safe, 95, but as BAcc has established before, we dont only look for academic student but all rounders. And you still can be guaranteed a spot with a lower UAI (ATAR) than that. But to be safe, its 95

oh and i also know someone who got in with a 25% chance !

 

[applesss]

hey

im currently on the bacc reserve list at 50%.

my predicted uai is 95

what are my chances on making it?


Cheers

 

[skepsis]

You should have a fair chance. Your estimated UAI is high enough and 50% indicates you do have a good chance of getting in. Besides, it is very rare for everyone who got a 100% guarantee to accept a place within the course - there's always a number of people who opt for something else.

Just to ease my nerves, can anyone tell me what kind of questions i can expect at the interview. Is it going to be one of those behavioural things (based on situation and then solve)? or those generic questions (like how, why)?
