are you serious

so now that i have secured an interview (and i have good internal marks/ranks), they don't care about the final ATAR?

bloody awesome

thanks mate

if you have a great interview then you are given a conditional offer, not a scholarship.

the offer of the full scholarship is conditional on you receiving an ATAR high enough.

Do you guys think that combining another degree to your Co-op degree is possible?
I know they allow double degrees now, but I am not sure that if you manage to get the scholarship for one degree; then can you combine it with another degree?

I am pretty sure u need to negotiate once u get the scholarship but it's very very difficult

Hmm...did anyone get finance WITHOUT having finance as they first pref?

Yes. Finance was also my second preference. But I kept on mentioning in the application itself that I would really like finance blah blah blah ...

hmmmm >.<
i guess that's the case then. i focused on actuarial too much! i even said i would like to be an actuary...and finance was like my 3rd so i guess

ohh well, 2 interview offers are already good enough.

They said that they were considering it for this year. But it's mostly likely to be between different types of engineering or engineering/commerce...essentially degrees that are currently already offered with co-op and more or less ones that correlate somewhat to the degree you're currently holding the scholarship with.

As for ones like commerce/law, they said that it would most likely be a no (damn T___T). But it really is after negotiation with your sponsor in... the 2nd year, I believe. ^^ I don't think you can do it in your first year. =\

Oh~ and btw, they won't be giving you the money for the extra years that you're holding the second degree with. >.< (LOL)

It is~ Well done. ^^ Did you put ISM second? ... because I put actuarial and finance as 1st and 2nd ... and unless they actually do give 3rd and 4th offers, I believe that they mostly prefer to give you the top two that you want. =\

did anyone get accounting?!

Seems like just you at the moment! LOL XD

ye....oh well

i think UNSW is trying to accommodate as many students as possible because with GFC, demand = remains same whereas supply = gone downhill (my limited eco knowledge haha!)

so far i have never heard anyone with 3 or more offers...

 

[lyounamu]

with accounting, since number of positions is relatively high, there should be lots of interviewees.

 

[Akaru-Hime]

lol. . .

do you know anyone else who got co-op from drdu?

Noone... I don't really know anyone who applied and I haven't contacted them yet. >.<

However, I called up my NSG friend last night, and she got actuarial studies too! ^^
It seems like a lot of people I know, or are talking to, got Actuarial studies. I have another friend who also got Finance. ^^

ooo

do you know how many positions? ? ?

I'm not sure if it's that high... I saw the list for last year and it was rather low in comparison to actuarial and finance. =S Maybe around 6-7, methinks ....

I think the accounting people usually look towards BAcc as opposed to Co-op ... I was under the impression that BAcc was better... ??? But Co-op has less people so it's harder to get into .... O_O

I think I should shut up now before I say something I regret. =.=;;

 

[lyounamu]

ooo

it was 11 last year (most number for commerce apart from BIT)

but it traditionally remained as high 10 so i reckon 50-60 interviewees? (considering 3-4 interviewees = 1 position)

O.O
great. =/

so do they have a lot of interviews happening at the same time?

Cause i thought it was just one interview at a time and that would mean about 15 in that one day. . .

guess not xD

you do have a point (about other accounting opportunities)...

but i am not too sure about BAcc > Co-op...it really depends because both have cons and pros.

According to current Coop scholar, Actuarial is only like 9-10 and finance is like 7-8.

lol...it's simply my estimate based on last years' figures.

THIS YEAR will be different for sure. With GFC, they probably cut a lot of interviewee numbers..
