You feel your IQ drop 10 points when you're around plebes. (Op is clear troll)

Umat doesn't require much commitment at all whereas GAMSAT actually requires you to study and know the content. It isnt impossibly hard though because by the time you hit post grad, a good proportion of people who wanted to get into med would have already made it. I think you should do umat...

Yeah, internships are randomized. Only downside being international 'recognition' from what I've been told. Still, well done mate!!

But that 'aptitude' thing doesn't work. How do you explain people's UMAT scores changing drastically from less than 50% to 90%+ in one year? (holding the reasonable assumption that cohort quality is relatively stable given it is percentile based). Practice. Practice. Practice + a bit of luck...

How do you know you are "ready to be a doctor" or do medicine? I know several people who did 0 Science subjects in the hsc and are smashing med atm. You don't know until you try.

I can confirm that more than 50% won't practice anything legal. After you're in, its another game all together being in the top 10% of usyd law cohort to get those top jobs. Those in that bracket are generally exceptionally hard working and also quite 'intelligent'. You need both. If LSAT is...

This is bullshit. Two of my mates missed out usyd law in 2013 with 99.65 and then went into UNSW law. When they realised half the cohort's ATAR was no where near the cut-off and cohort wasn't as 'strong' as you expect, transferred out (one into unsw med, other into usyd law - had a hd wam at...

It is useless because it is extremely fluffy and you learn nothing. It is basically some presentations, learning buzz words etc etc. Even lecturers who teach it recognize that. You can't go wrong with either and you can change from arts/law to comm/law etc almost anytime. Arts/law is...

Congrats!! Arts if you are 100 pc sure on being a lawyer. (Arts/law is essentially a straight LLB degree, no one takes arts seriously - simply because you don't have to) Commerce to keep options open + usyd new building + international exchanges.

Re: What's better for an investment banker? comm/eco, comm/sci or comm/adv sci (stats Hd average in any. I would do comm/adv sci (stats) purely for the maths component. Will be a huge advantage if you want to get into a trading role etc.

HSC physics is completely irrelevant to anything university related so you have nothing to worried about at all! Congrats on the offer!!

It was arbitrarily changed. Increased spots for high school students and reduce transfers. Unsw will follow suit with their inflated published atar requirement when majority get in with much lower.

Congrats everyone that got in! I got jmp newcastle unbonded. Umat: s1 was 67 or 68 iirc edit: thinking. Edit: Deferred offer to 2016.

Hedge funds don't run gtad programs generally. IBs are the start off into hedge funds. BBIB (e..g goldman, JP etc) ---> perform well ---> hedge fund. Comm/law will require you to perform very well in it. Also unsw comm/law is easier (subjects and marking) so you need close to hd average or...

When Genius Failed

You need Jesus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkAd6UBXnHQ You are undoubtedly the most ignorant and racist person on BoS. Only because you're on the net because you can ignore anything you can't reply to. Wouldn't be surprised if you gather your info through TodayTonight. Great program.

Haha heaps of lawyers are pompous dicks though. I remember just last year in an office i was working in, a lawyer came in and 15 mins later one of our staff left crying . But dat suit. Ultimately, do what you like. Or whatever that will get you your ideal career.

That's good man! If you have no idea about what accounting entails, search up youtube. I don't think its a good idea to start course specific topics yet i.e. spoonfeedme.

Lol wtf. Relax. Why is every 2nd kid on bos studying up first year courses already? You will be given plenty of time to adjust to things in uni and buy textbooks etc. If you were a nerd during the hsc, try change that and do something else with your time e.g. work or go out with people or go...

Lol this is relevent http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2320638 As someone mentioned above, always go with what you WANT to do first. It was a bad choice? Don't like it as much as you thought you would? Not an issue, transfer into anything you want (even med, there is heaps of...
