How exactly does that say anything? I still don't see how me studying something else makes everything I say invalid? All I said was the amount of shot law gets online by bitter people puts off/gives wrong perception to many prospectivr students. Its a bad market, not that bad.

Commerce is a decent degree for any accounting or finance role. It has the most available grad jobs and a variety of options. Having said that, to get the very "best" and most competitive jobs in the field (i.e. in finance) you'll need to be a gun. Think Investment Banking or Management...

The answer to that should be pretty clear. You don't necessarily need to have first hand experience of something to have an opinion on something. I definitely don't work at a suburban law firm though.

Just because you (and many other arguably academicaly sub par law graduates) have had a bad experience with law, doesn't make it shit. Some of the smartest people I know are in law (especially usyd law) and many of them have started clerking and grads at big 6. None of my mates hate it yet and...

lol what. The outcome (i.e. your percentile) can change DRASTICALLY. I know plenty of people who've done it twice and gotten incredibly different scores (think 70%tile to 97+). It is not like an IQ test - your IQ doesn't change, but your UMAT percentile does change. You can change it for the...

Congrats on the offer! Not easy to get it. Yeah, even at big 4, your application (written ans which pwc etc removed) can't really be shit. Video interviews also require decent amount of prep. Scattergun approach doesn't really work that well esp given some people seemed to have applied to 100...

Also, it is probably helpful to have a bunch of firms you ACTUALLY want to work for and put a lot of effort in those application (by effort I mean network and definitely get to know someone who is name dropable). There is very little point in submitting 100 sub par applications. All IBD/ER and...

Fuarkkkk the MD lads

Definitely arts/economics. I thought international studies was an arts major lol so yeah, it probably is a glorified arts degree.

Med students generally work less part-time jobs because you don't need to and it adds almost 0 value to your career compared to say b.comm or law or engineering. I know plenty of people in my cohort who work but it is definitely not easy to do anything more than 10 hours a week consistently...

That sounds like bullshit. Big 4 aussie banks take a ton of uts and macquarie people and is not limited to usyd or unsw. I've said is before as well on bos - if youre at either usyd or unsw, what matters is you for the top tier roles (mbb or ib). No, "unse commerce" doesnt have an edge given...

In my opinion, the highest paying and easiest part-time casual jobs at uni seem to come from good academics. Research assistant at uni (I got mine in 2nd year for finance) - very high rate of pay (compared to available pool of part-time roles) and I had the best lecturer who gave me all the...

They are both the same. Although, usyd has more placement opportunities for non-coop people (where as unsw its just for coop students - which I'm assuming you're not). Usyd comm also doesn't have bonus points. You can be equally shit in both universities and end up with 0 graduate jobs or do...

Do med sci at UWS because you'll probably have a much higher WAM/GPA than if you did the same thing at UNSW (I'm assuming UNSW entry from med sci to med won't apply to you because of ATAR so no advantage?). As others have said, undergrad med is probably very unlikely because of your ATAR (but...

1) Competition at usyd law: Simply put, it is healthy competition. I am someone who thrives in competition (I probably wouldn't be as motivated to study if I knew getting anything less than a 80 WAM will close some doors for me) and I would say about half the cohort feels that way. There are...

I was being sarcastic with the 'math god' reference but fair enough. Thank you for your honesty. OP, most active users on boredofstudies are from UNSW (seems to be a cycle). You'll get more diverse responses from Whirlpool (there are already threads on this I think). Since I went to usyd...

Yes you can transfer and yes you will have to repeat all law units. Usyd doesn't allow any exception to law units but you will get your business units credited (usually). I had 1 guy in my law cohort who transferred from UWS and all I can say is that he definitely did not perform well even...

Since you talk about choosing one uni over the other, everyone at usyd law chose to go to usyd law. There are also a handful of unsw law guns that transferred to usyd after first year. How many went from usyd law to unsw law (i.e. those that werent struggling)? Also shadowdude you didnt answer...

To answer your question, the most sought after combination is comm/law for many reasons. However, B.Comm by itself is absolutely fine. I know some people who wish they just did commerce because it is much easier to excel in and you'll be in a solid position to get any finance/acct/whatever job...

If you're talking about med, after you finish your degree, you work. You sit exams for specialties while working (as far as I'm aware). So you'll be in university for 5-7 years. As a year 11 student, probably best to spend minimal time on BoS asking hardly relevant questions and instead...
