Urgent question for current law students/grads !! (1 Viewer)

[ris08]

Hey everyone,
I have a question for current law students/law graduates- which university is the best pick for law. UAC applications came out and im figuring out my preferences. Obviously preferably, I would love to do law at UNSW or USYD as I know these are better options for law, however the ATAR entry requirements are super high like 99+ above. Right now based of my atar estimate I'm sitting at roughly at the high edge of 98 at a top 20 selective high school so its a good estimate but I'm worried I might just miss the cut off especially as law is really compeitive.

Would it be better off to go for say macquarie or a uts law degree and just do super well with WAM or better off to go to UNSW/USYD with a different degree and do a IPT transfer into a law degree?

Also SUPER IMPORTANT QUESTION do Macquarie/UTS offer any scholarships I could potentially get with a high enough Atar? And also is ANU any good (I'm a bit unwilling to travel all the way to Canberra though)
ANY HELP WITH THESE QUESTIONS WOULD BE SO SO GREATLY APPRECIATED!

For law at unsw or usyd it just depends on how much torture you want to put yourself through voluntarily. usyd has closed book exams but it comes with prestige. while unsw may not have as much prestige as usyd, unsw is still ranked 1st in australia right now for law i think and its still respectable AND it has open book exams, which in my opinion is way more reasonable since the profession will never require you to know case law or legislation off by heart.
I just finished my first term at unsw law and i would still chose unsw because i couldnt imagine the amount of stress i would experience if my upcoming exams were closed book.

for your transfer questions it also just depends on your preferences.
if you are really aiming for a good university then an itp at usyd/unsw might be worth it only if youre okay with doing a degree that has nothing to do with law for a year. the itp is also really competitive so its good to keep that in mind. if you dont think you can do a year without law then your best alternative is macq or uts.
i dont really know much about uts or macquarie but i would go to uts before macquarie but theyre about the same, t just depends which campus you like better or is closer to you.

ANU is also pretty good but if you can get into usyd/unsw that would be a better career option for you, and im not to sure about scholarships, sorry.
