Transfer internally or do course at lower university? (1 Viewer)

[Ballinnn]

So im kinda keen on doing economics at unsw or usyd, however my atar(estimate) is just under 90. Should i go to Maq and do a economics double degree there or try and transfer from a lower course to economics in a year? Also is it hard to transfer internally between universities?

i would do a single and then transfer. Not sure how difficult it is though.

If I were you I'd rather do economics at Macquarie University. Why? Because for example if you screw up a "lower course" at for example UNSW, then you won't be able to transfer and then you may be stuck with a course you don't really like. That's just my intake on it, but do whatever you want.

I would advocate this approach as well.

OP, if you were going to study something other than Economics at UNSW, what would that be?

Fair enough,but that could hinder my future job prospects?

Um... I was hoping arts and then a transfer

If the university is what's differentiating you from other applicants, then you have a serious problem so no.

ATAR for Economics at UNSW is what 93? You would also get bonus points on your atar, so you may still get in. Leave it in first place and see what happens.

Hi guys.
I am currently studying a Bachelor of Science in Applied chemistry at UTS. I am planning to transfer either through UAC to a Bachelor of Business at UTS or to Usyd or Macquarie for Commerce.
I have also applied through Internal course transfer which is my preferred option to add on the Bachelor of Business at UTS onto my current degree.
My grades are ok I guess but I am a bit worried I wont get in as I have a current WAM of 64 where they recommend a minimum WAM of 65.
Can anybody tell me whether or not I will be allowed in either through UAC or Internally ?
Anyone who has done this previously or something similar to this please help.

Thanks.
