I live in blacktown and do arts. Half of them don't even know where blacktown is. I have amazing western suburbs friends and also some very wealthy north shore/eastern suburbs friends. The people I've met don't care, and I'm probably in one of the most 'pretentious' faculties. Pick and choose...

Re: I am psychologically messed up. Done 0 work from start of uni. WANT TO KILL MYSEL If you really feel you can't cope with uni, you should defer and get your head in a better space. Not just lazing around, but counselling, and surrounding yourself with things you enjoy. Maybe even take a...

Re: Ive had enough. 100 percent gonna fail this elective. Pls help with options. Get off bos and study for the subject and maybe you won't fail. Instead of being so concerned over whether or not a DNF would look bad, shouldn't you be concerned with maximising your transcript and making it look...

I hate anthropology, but love sociology, Jewish civilisation and Middle Ages history is decent too.

I didn't, whoops.

Bachelor of Arts I

Hey, I was first in society and culture all year on an internal of 97/98. I got 91 :( feel your pain, this shit happens.

Predict what ATAR you think you'll get? So, with just under a week until the ATARs are released, what are you predicting for yourself? Or, what's your dream mark compared to the mark you think you'll get? I'm hoping for 90, but I have a sneaking suspicion I'll fall slightly short. What about...

In all honesty, I think it is also how you present yourself. My ECs were pretty good - state champ debater, recipient of some prestigious awards, house captain, charity work etc etc, but I didn't get shortlisted. But I think one of the things that matters is the most is how much you show them...

The only consolation LHS is that you know that your extra curriculars and science achievements were great, and even if you unluckily don't manage to get it (fingers crossed though), you'll know that you'll be working among some really talented students too if you decide to go to Sydney, and that...

Re: Should I put my special awards (tennis and taekwondo) when applying to fast food? Yup! Put awards you think will set you apart. It might even show that just because you want to work in fast food, you can still maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

I know someone who received the Entry scholarship for the Architecture faculty in 2011. She was one of two. There was five whom received the Access. I'm guessing 7 per faculty. Yeah Omnipotence, I have heard that too. But oh well, not to worry. I'd rather it go to someone who shines or...

2 or 3 refer to how many people get the respective scholarships. Its a very small number in comparison to the applicants.

I think 2 for access, and possibly 2 or 3 for merit. Not too sure how many get shortlisted. Even though my extra curriculars were very good (state champ debater etc etc) I applied for the Arts faculty which encompasses a bucket load of degrees, like International and Global Studies and Media and...

Did anyone get the email? I got rejected :(:( Did anyone get placed on the wait list or whatever? If so, what faculty? And congrats! And anyone else who got rejected: we can all be sad together :(
