Bump, I am only taking 1-2 students this year so send me a message before spots run out :)

Do it, it'll be worth it

no, dw about it. start looking in first year, but don't expect to get a formal one until second onwards getting any experience is good - extracurriculars (especially leadership), societies where you make stuff, hackathons, research also do personal projects, that's generally what ppl when they...

Ask the organisers lol, why would you ask a random forum

I meant textbooks, not books you read for pleasure, i'll edit my post mb haha

imo, I recommend getting ahead in maths and reading the english texts. other than that, take it easy. actually ENJOY your holidays - spend a decent amount of time AWAY from textbooks and relaxing. You have the next 10 months to grind, it's a marathon not a sprint

Algebra, trigonometry, calculus (derivatives, integrals) are the big ones. Also vectors are important

Maths, maths, and lots of maths. Although i'm not sure about civil engineering specifically, for most other engineering disciplines you will struggle a lot with just 2U maths. So definitely grind away maths during the holidays. Other subjects don't matter as much - maths is the foundation of...

Ehhh, hard papers isn't necessarily a bad thing. As long as scaling ensures it ends up being fair, then it doesn't really matter imo.

Grind out all the past papers would be a start. Idk what textbook to use but Campbell's Biology was recommended. It might be a bit overboard though tbh, khan academy might even suffice I got an HD and genuinely did zero study, I just rocked up on the day having gone to 3 bio classes. If you...

Yeah we have separate answer booklets (HSC booklets basically) where we answer everything

Can you send a link pls? That wasn't my experience at all, maybe it's a one off

Both are good, pick based on semester vs trimester, and commute time. Anything that's available at UNSW will be available at USYD, and vice versa. For undergrad, it really comes down to how much you take advantage of the opportunities you are given. You will have tons available to you at both unis.

Do biomedical engineering maybe?

Learn Python usng freecodecamp, make a game or something like that. Get really comfortable with if/else/for/while/functions/classes and you're pretty much set for the first few programming classes.

Not at all, it's the easiest - it depends a bit on what you want to do, but becoming a specialist is much harder

I mean yeah you might be able to get into med overseas, but a) you will pay shitloads for a degree that costs ~10k a year in Australia b) if you want to work in Australia, you will be among the lowest priority for an internship So it's not really a viable pathway tbh

I mean yes, but why? If you enjoy physics, it doesn't really make sense that they'd not enjoy maths to such an extent that they would make they they don't take ANY units

wtf lol

Gain some technical skills and do some projects so that you can showcase it for your portfolio. Those are the most important factors for being competitive
