What courses are you interested in doing in uni? (1 Viewer)

[sheep90]

i'm interested in going to melbourne uni to do bachelor of science (mainly melb just because i want a change of scene)
but i feel as though science isn't really seen as a good degree because it has a lower atar for entry (83-85) (selective school)
but i don't really know what i want to do yet but i'm interested in maybe something with science so...

what do you think of this and what do you want to do?

Atar is not a fucking reflection of how good the degree is. Its just a number determined by supply and demand! Why do so few people know or accept this?

If you want to do a Bachelor of Science, then do a Bachelor of Science. Do not let the expectations of a selective school affect your decision, nor should you let the opinions of others affect your decision either. Ultimately, both are virtually irrelevant.

And as the individual above me said, the ATAR requirement for a course is predominantly based on demand.

If I achieve the ATAR requirements, I'd really love to do an Adv. Science degree, majoring in physics. Preferably at UNSW.

There are so many degrees that I want to do, urgh. Courses that I'm most interested in are Politics, Philosophy, Law, Physical Geography, Human Geography and Biological Studies. Too many choices.

MEDICINE (true indian) if I dont get in will probably do that thing where I study something else for a year and then do GAMSAT although I wouldnt mind teaching but i think I might do that when im older like 50+ and show my wisdom to all the youths

 

[lilcutetricker]

Preferably medicine at UWS, UNSW or USYD, however if that doesn't work I wouldn't mind going into chemical engineer or some arts degree to find myself

The cut off for science at melbourne uni is 92. It's 80+ at usyd and unsw. If you think the cut off is too low, then you're better of aiming for bachelor of science (chancellor's scholar ) in melbourne uni. Where it's similar to a coop, and the cut off will be 99.90.

For a very long time I've wanted to do journalism (so really a communications degree majoring in journalism) but I have toyed with the idea of maybe getting into public relations or business.

Will probably just end up doing journalism though. Hopefully there won't be any regrets.

I'd love to do adv. science majoring in astrophysics or maybe actuary. Depends on how I go with maths this year lol

I had a clear goal of the degree I wanted to do which was Law/Intl and Global studies at USYD or Law/Intl Studies at UNSW. But now I'm also contemplating on whether to do Law and Commerce at USYD/UNSW.

The cut off is low 90s at UMELB (unless you are rural), and you shouldn't dictate what you want to do by the cut off points.
Also you could always do Adv Sci anywhere in NSW if you wanted something 'higher cut off' desperately.

ATAR points are never wasted. If your number #1 course/location is 60 and you got a 99-why would you do something else you don't even like? Silly.

Some degrees like Arts/Science etc. get ragged on a bit because there's no specific job it leads to. It's not like Bach of Optom->you become Optom, or bach of pharmacy->pharmacist/pharmacy design etc. Rather it teaches you a set of skills, has more breadth in what you can do (which is great because most people discover their niche in these courses, one of my majors I didn't even do in yr 11/12 or was going to do at uni) and has so many possibilities on graduation. I feel like people have a too mono-lens on this sometimes, if all that's gonna employ you is the name on your testamur, you're doing uni/employability wrong.

First year physics is a bitch

 

[suika]

Knowing I'd probably won't get into law, I want to do a Bachelor of Commerce/Arts at UNSW or just get into Media.

 

[Futuremedstudent]

I want to do Medicine @ UNSW with an atar of 99.95.

 

[youngsky]

Medicine at UNSW/UWS

if not, debating between USYD physiotherapy or UNSW medical science as a graduate/undergrad pathway into med

 

[duckie06]

wanted to do med, realized ill never make it. might give it a shot anyway, idk. Not going all out like doing if i dont make it like doing med science or whatever.

was thinking of bachelor of science/business and see if i wanna transfer from there or something.
