psych/laws help (1 Viewer)

[addictedtobubbletea]

need help as srs apps close in like 2 weeks!!!
- which is better for psych (hons) - usyd or unsw?
- which is better for law - usyd or unsw? (other than the lat)
- why is the lsr for psych(hons)/law 92.9 but 98 for psych(hons) at unsw? does that mean if im not good enough for psych i can still get pretty much the same degree by applying for psych/law?? or are there other requirements you'd have to meet?

bonus: which is better overall? usyd or unsw?? i heard that usyd is better for academics but unsw has a better social life, but i dont think i can choose one over the other lol

thanks guys!!!

psych(hons)/law is 92.9 because of LAT. Note also the lsr displayed is probably based of a gateway offer, if you look at the median selection rank for double law it is 97.7

even under gateway though (which im applying for) its still 85 for double law (dont need lat) and 90 for psych hons, which baffles me cause i would have thought law/psych would be harder. its so weird that the atar for double law is standardised across all courses

btw are u sitting the lat

The lower selection rank is probably an anomaly as not many people would do Psych(Hons) and Law. Those who are intending on becoming a registered/clinical psych would probably be focusing on just the one.

i would assume that it would go by the psychology gateway atar of 90, but i'm not sure.

even for the specific website for psych hons/ law they still say 92.9 + lat

yeahhh thats the confusing part!! ugh

 

[specificagent1]

@addictedtobubbletea on a side note, i know that macquarie is the other uni that offers psych hons/ law. You should look into it and maybe apply for an early offer via leaders and achievers for it. I got an early offer for them that i'm keeping as a backup in case unsw doesnt go as plan

 

[specificagent1]

wow unsw gateway just got back to me.
