from every law firm i have contacted (almost a dozen) none has yet to hint that they prefer USYD law graduates over any other. in fact they rather experience and know how. i fail to see the infatuation many people have with usyd law. i personally think its the "want what i cant get" mentality...
i imagine if u receive ur 2nd or 3rd preference u shuld accept it. however, i wuldnt rule out the 1st preference as if there r vacancies in the late round u stand a chance once more. also, dont worry if i sed i reckon med science will increase...i culd b very wrong.
@mature: no im not trying...
i doubt there will b major fluctuations with any course however these r some of my (very uneducated) guess-timations for any changes in atar cutoffs:
a. communications cut off will increase
b. law cutoff will increase at unis such as uts, uws, monash, maq
c. science (mathematics) cut off will...
If u wer hoping to get into unsw eng i would stil think u hav a chance of making it in. I believe unsw giv bonus point for maths so fingers crossed mate.
hmmmm aint it more of a tic? and as such a near identical twitch every time? the broad spectrum of expletives he uses simply suggests he is "pissed off" at u. thanks tho doc
