You should be aiming for the best possible ATAR regardless. Having the aptitude for Law shouldn't be an imperative motivational factor for doing well in the HSC. I was in a similar situation as you. I was coming 14th/22 in year 11 Advanced English, and I hated all the selected texts for the...

Pharmacy? You've got to be joking... It's like a general science/medical science degree these days! I was actually offered Pharmacy last year, and I'm so glad that I declined the offer. Bro, you're still pretty young and it's OK to make these mistakes now and learn from them. Maybe law isn't...

Why god, why not med or dent instead? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ee925OTFBCA

Wait, so you think that jobs are easier to get in IT/Business? I somewhat disagree; the demographic population of an area slightly influences the cohort (year group), and depending on how well the cohort performs; does alter individual performances. There's a reason why schools in the city...

Would it be considered a bad decision if I chose to stay and continue with IT/Business at UTS?

Aren't they either selective or private schools? Anyway, the area isn't as bad as it may sound. If you try hard enough, you'll get somewhere! I do hope that I'll get into med bro *god willingly* :)

Liverpool is a low-socioeconomic area as it accommodates a lot of immigrants from diverse backgrounds and/or refugees. The % of these individuals are much higher in the Liverpool area than compared to a rich classy area (e.g. North Shore). Consequently, we end up having a lot of students who...

Wow, I hope this is true! Thanks heaps for your replies, it means a lot man :)

True, I agree. At the moment, I'm not looking forward to litigation work as I feel I won't be able to handle the pressures of a courthouse setting! Perhaps my aptitude will change after trying Law, but I think I'll avoid any courthouse proceedings as a future lawyer. Hence why I'm interested in...

Thanks once again for your detailed response. I appreciate it! :) Wow, this is eye-opening! O.o Now I will try even harder to get into med/dent. From what I read, things don't sound too pleasant and it's something that I didn't expect to hear! But I applaud your blunt honestly, and for sharing...

What's your current position? Are you in the law sector, or still at one of the big4?

This is terrible. But thank you for telling me these things now. It really has changed my insight about the big4. I thought that working for these organisations would be a rewarding experience! But it doesn't appear to be.

Absolutely, thanks a lot man :)

Can you elaborate a bit more on this? Were you once a med/dent hopeful also? What made you give up? Maybe inbox me about it. Yeah, I'm somewhat unsure about it. As I mentioned before, I never really studied legal studies in high school and that this will be a new experience for me. I'll do law...

If only it was that easy to get in! Easily said than done :( I applied for JCU dentistry and didn't get an offer in the main round. I don't think that they make a lot of offers in the 6th of February round! Will gladly accept an offer if I get one. What do you think I should do? Realistically...

I was thinking of the same. Perhaps things like volunteer work at the university (student support, mentor/tutor etc...), internships and vocational work. And if you're passionate about public speaking or are an extrovert; maybe consider things like mooting competitions. These things would look...

Thank you so much for your reply :) haha I will try for dentistry again next year!

Just a few more questions; are there a lot of presentations involved in Law or is it more theory-based and requires a lot of self study and discipline? By presentations, I refer to speeches, mooting and general PowerPoint presentations in tutorials. How would the practicality of Law school...

Thanks man, worse comes to worse I'll drop out from the Law degree and just continue with commerce there!
