Communication & Media Studies/Law at UOW jumped from 90 to 99.95.
I feel pretty good about the fact I got a main round offer for that course with my not overly impressive ATAR of 84.45. Ha.
Ah, well you seemed to have found one of the better stores to work at and to that I say congrats because Rotton On stores that don't treat you like complete shit are hard to find. I've spoken to probably about 15 or so girls who have worked at various stores around the state and so far you're...
It wasn't the pay I was really talking about that was shitty (although, it kind of is)... it was more the stupid rules they employ, like not being able to bend your knees while picking up boxes, etc that I found particular ghey. And not to mention their failure to supply you with adequate breaks...
Basically from my understanding, the way WCA works is that you undertake a foundation (or preparation, or whatever you care to call it) program which lasts for 2 or 3 semesters. Once you've completed a program that's related to the degree you want to do at UOW then you're ensured direct entry...
I can't speak from personal experience on this, however I do remember reading about Fashion Design at UTS on another forum I frequent and this is what was said:
I too am planning to study Bachelor of Communication and Media Studies/Bachelor of Commerce. :)
I only live about half an hour south of Wollongong campus though, so I'm just going to commute each day for the first year, and hopefully live on campus in 2011.
No, they gave out about 70 or so last year.
And by 'in excess off' I mean my lowest assessment mark throughout the year was 85%, and the rest were mostly in the early 90's. Trial was 93%, and I think my half yearly was around the 88 mark.
I realise that only a very small handful of students receive a band 6 in standard, but I was wondering what the raw mark for achieving such a band would be?
I was ranked 1/20 in my standard class, and maintained raw marks which were in excess of 85% all year. Any chance I'm in for a shot?
Could someone give me an estimate please? I'm panicking like a motherfucker over here. :(
So my ranks after trials were as follows:
Std English: 1/20
General Maths: 4/15
Legal Studies: 2/9
Geography: 9/19
PDHPE: 8/9
School is ranked at around 100th in the state.
