what is leo cussen? I specified 'decent' law student. 12000 students from every single law school with about 30 pc not applying for law jobs. I'm specifically talking about people at usyd/unsw/umelb/monash and those who actually put in solid effort and are somewhat talented in law (i.e. at...

Without stating the degree, this thread is pointless.

Do straight commerce at either uni - in your case, usyd because it will give you more time to think about what you actually want to do. And you're right, picking careers as a 17 yo is the most fucked up thing that exists.

Heard you and J. Leung started dating. OMG congrats bro <3

I certainly agree with you - Australia places substantially less emphasis on further education than mosy other countries. In the US, mba associate programs are almost as common as undergrad recruits into mbb or IB. Doesn't happen in Australia. Most people gunning for IB/MBB wouldn't want to...

Large law firms is pretty much the same. Prestige and your exit opportunities are great. If you did comm/law at usyd and had a 80 plus wam, not uncommon to see you jumping around from big law, IB and even mbb. Some people only care about money and leave mbb for optiver lol. The prestige of your...

Hd averages struggling? Which uni do you go to mate. Freehills alone took in around 50 clerks this summer. That is a shit ton of people compared to other competitive things like investment banking. Almost everyone I know who were at a decent level landed a clerkship at a big 6 or mid tiers...

Nah knew 2 comm/law kids with big 4 cadetships. One dropped cadetship after 1 year and the other dropped law after 1 year. Don't really know anyone else. But I have seen people in finc cadetships (i.e. ubs) with double degrees. Congrats on being ao proactive though - I didn't know about...

Lower marks required in terms of wam/atar which is advantageous for anyone looking to transfer given that you're atar wouldn't have been that "high". Also being a 1dt year uni student, would have an advantage over hsc students juggling that with hsc workload. Plus, law admissions will probably...

There is a lot of point. But if you live around mq etc and aren't too ambitious - mq is fine for 99pc of jobs in NSW

Why are you nervous about unsw law entry. They made the whole process easier. Transferring into unsw law is materially easier than usyd law. Usyd has no "internal transfers" so you aren't disadvantaged coming from unsw. So just do unsw comm

LOL this guy. Just because you find a particular atmosphere better doesn't mean it is the 'best' out of every university. You could be a socially awkward person and the uni may just click for you. Learn to give objective and well reasoned comments. I still remember when choosing universities...

Without any maths would be a bit difficult because as you get into senior economics units - they are primarily mathematical. BUT, you can choose the less mathematical ones and just do those. This is for usyd, I've only seen first year UTS economics stuff and they aren't too mathematical (i.e...

Cadetships aren't really important if you don't plan on being an auditor at a big 4 etc. (Very few finance cadetships and none in Investment Banking division). I would to uts buss/law. You can transfer after first year if you want to usyd or unsw comm/law as many people have. Also law has...

Yeah AAA scholarship. It was 5 points before but heard it changed to 3. Still exceptionally generous.

Lol my school is ranked 500+. Highest atar was 99.7. School is no barrier - only that you don't have a safety net if you stuff up the actual hsc exams/don't do as well. Also for law, unsw has very generous bonus points for being first in your school. Edit: school currently ranked 500 plus, my...

So much animosity. Relax. I didn't assume that people do the highest level of maths they want because I did 3 unit when I was more than 'capable' of doing 4 unit because I chose to (i.e. a tactical decision so I had more time to allocate to other units which many people do as well). Well no...

Wasn't questioning your gpa 7/7. Just that it wasn't usyd because that would be exceptionally unlikely. I've tutored finance kids from uts and my gf is also from uts so I've seen the content - course is materially different to usyd. Generally, if you want to perform well at least 2 unit. That...

Are you at usyd? Not a single person in my whole commerce cohort has a gpa of 7/7 lol. No one calculates gpa anyway-all about dat wam By 'gun' I was referring to people who were ranking top 3 in subjects with 500 plus students. Well done if you fit that criteria.

Tbh, nothing in commerce or business is 'hard' in a sense that you can get by every single unit if you put in effort. The hard part is excelling in it (i.e. 90+s and ranking in the top 3 for a few courses). At USYD, 2 unit is sufficient but I've said in another thread that almost everyone except...
