Well yeah, they can't hand out transfers to every Tom, Dick, and Harry If you want to get into Comm/Law, you need to get the required ATAR. If you don't, you need to get the required WAM (average mark) at uni, to get in. That's how it is. Not everyone who wants to study Medicine can get into...

Go to UNSW or whatever and then internally transfer by getting good marks

Well if you're not a maths student, why are you even considering it? I feel you haven't done research into what the degrees actually entail - and the differences between them. Do that and you can answer a lot of your own questions.

omg why didn't you two talk to each other yesterday you guys would've had tons of fun discussing such asian topics like these :detective: (@glittergal: the above sentence is indeed racist, not 'racial')

as their final HSC mark?

and you know that how? If true, you'll see that their "external mark", i.e. how they did in the HSC exam itself, is a lot higher than yours - so you bombed out, and they didn't

Without getting into specifics of how HSC marks are moderated and aligned, this is why you have a common exam - the HSC - that everyone does to make sure that the schools who give their students ridiculously easy exams (like your school) can be compared with other schools who may have harder exams

Applied maths yes Comp sci no

You can internal transfer for most things at UNSW Who cares about "wasting" ATAR? If you want to do a course that's 80 ATAR and you get 96, are you really going to do Commerce even though you might hate finance or whatever because "omg wasting my atar"?

because it's true Walk into UNSW O-Week and experience the awesomeness

geez you sensitive touchy people OMG I DON'T WANT TO TAKE A BUS WTF IS THAT It's a nice easy 15 minute bus ride that is not packed if you know when to take it, and there are other alternative buses to take as well

uhhh you should do more degree research to figure out what you actually like and prefer doing

I think you should do your research between degrees and what they actually entail because they're very different

but if you're so smart, why did you only get 81 :detective:

LOLOLOLOLOL unsw engineering life is a LOT better than usyd engineering life for instance, you don't have to pay like $100 to start to join uni societies, meanwhile at unsw it's free and unsw has weekly bbqs for engineering plus there's like a billion other societies to join
