No one going for IB from usyd/unsw expects their university to be a distinguishing factor because a good bulk of other applicants who make the cut in sydney offices will also be from those universities. I really wouldn't want the person flicking through CVs to have no idea about the differences...

Generally it isn't difficult but if you choose to go usyd and do a finance major, get ready for major rape unless you put in significant effort for 2nd and third year finance units. In most universities if you are a smart and hard working student you can sustain a hd averagr for straight...

The law god has spoken.

You have a really easy decision. Enroll into Bachelor of Commerce/Arts at university of sydney. You do the exact same units - everything is fine - after your 1st year, transfer into Commerce (Liberal studies) which I imagine will require a mid 70s wam. This is quite a common thing to do and you...

Whatever your source is - its probably bullshit. A mate of mine from usyd applied to usyd comm/law and unsw comm/law with 75ish wam rejected from usyd, got into unsw law last year (did not end up accepting because he likes his university).

Hey mate, firstly - that is an amazing ATAR. Congrats! Do you need the scholarship? You may know people who have received scholarships from non go8 universities but rejected them to pursue their degree at the university they wanted to go to for a long time. This is quite common because that's...

UNSW has co-op scholarship - if you aren't a co-op scholar you are pretty much stuffed in terms of getting placements at reputable firms via university. Co-op scholarship in finance is pretty awesome. USYD does not give out these to students based on ATAR (which is basically the co-op...

'we attract students with the highest atars' *give bonus points to everyone*

Most commerce/business students don't exclusively pick those majors so it isn't too much of a problem. Commerce is a generally good degree for the 'corporate life' I assume + what others said above. It is not really competitive because access to a commerce degree is readily available (e.g...

Yeah I think that is just for internal purposes - not when you apply to jobs etc. But yeah , for engo your current WAM for honours purposes is 0.

Re: laptops If you do finance or anything quant don't buy a macbook. Just get any other laptop it should be fine. It isn't that important of a decision anyway.

Re: Laptops @ Uni haha don't worry man. Everyone will be on the same boat. I was on the exact same boat except I don't remember thinking too much about academics etc going into university - I just knew I wanted to meet as many people I wanted and find my close group of uni mates as early as...

Maybe he has minimal idea about med or 'why do you want to do med' but did umat anyway because of parents etc and got interview offers. No one knows. There are plenty of people like that. Obviously very unlikely to make it through when you are bsing your way. EDIT: But OP, if you have no idea...

Re: Laptops @ Uni I was 17 when I started as well. Still the youngest one (or one of) in my year but age doesn't make a difference. The earlier you start, the better. Uni is harder in a sense that you don't have time to revise over things if you want to maintain a life. If you want to get by...

Re: Why does everyone make it seem like Investment banking is so difficult to get int Its only hard if you have a life. On the other hand, if you are a consistently hard working student and reasonably intelligent, you will probably get the above and will most probably get IB. Whether its...

Its alrite mate, these things happen. I think in addition to just trying to increase your WAM, work harder and make sure everything else in your transcript shows consistency and makes this semester look like an anomaly. If so, they may overlook it (hopefully).

If he/she can sustain a HD average ( ideally uni medal) for the length of his/her engo degree + maybe 1 internship, pretty sure MBB/top engo firms will be after him/her. When you're at that level, ECs don't even matter that much (its not that hard to get 'involved' in some random shitty society...

Re: Economics multiple choice question. free 10 dollar jb hifi gift card for help PL It's basic intro stuff. Is this for econ1001 lol Edit:And i think you owe the guy above the giftcard. Good explanation plus ans.

Also, just because its volunteered and you aren't getting paid, don't take it too easily. I know someone who initially offered to worl free for a top 10 small ib in sydney and then got paid work and is still with them (only 2nd year). That is called drive and taking initiative. Tbh it is great...
