As with any other degree, its good if you do well in it. I was talking to one of the economic lecturers about employment prospects and he told me that, in order to get the best jobs (such as work at the RBA), one should do honors. And, of course, you can only do honors if you do well in your...

If I may ask, why do you want to go to usyd so bad? There is a large difference between arts/social science and business management. If you only chose arts/social science because you want to get into usyd, then my advice is to go to UWS. As someone who did a degree I had no interest in for a...

PSYC1001 Ease: 8/10. Getting a good mark is simple but not easy. On one hand, all you need to do is volunteer for experiments, do the quizzes (unlimited trials so there is no excuse for bad marks) and memorize everything in the lecture slides. This way, you'll almost be guaranteed a D if not...

ECON1002 Ease: 7/10. Marks are not scaled this time around. However, if you go to the lectures and the tutorials, you will almost be guaranteed a credit. The average for the course is, you guessed it, a credit. Lecturer: 7/10. There are 2 lecturers- one Indian guy and the course coordinator...

Hopefully someone will add this to to PDF. Did all of these subjects in 2013. ECON1001 Ease: 6/10 - I struggled with this course (credit average) even though I did pretty well in economics back in high school. If I had to compare the two, economics in high school relied more on memorization...

You should accept it. If you don't, and you miss out again in the other rounds, you are going to end up with zero.

Can I still add stuff here? Or is it too late?

Early Round: B. Laws at Macquarie Main Round: B. Com (Hons*) at Usyd *got into economics honours in first year

We do have a good social life- that is true. however, the leadership roles are dominated by a group of students so I'd say its actually easier at other unis if you are keen for roles like that. I don't know about job prospects for commerce...all I know is that its very competitive and the...

how come? commerce/science is better at unsw. btw, I agree with whoever else is really stressed right now...I got a text but I also put down FIVE Usyd preferences. <6 more hours now.

I do. But they are EVERYWHERE. Its hard to just ignore them (though it does get awkward when I didn't know them too well in the first place).

I went to a private school which was well ranked. I see my old grade like everywhere (societies, lectures, tutorials) and nearly every single day. Gah.

Broadening your experience is great but I found sticking to one place has its benefits too. I work in fast food and, although its not the best job, I found it gets better as time goes on. I mean, I am now doing a certificate 3 in hospitality through them and would do a certificate 4 in...

Wait, how do you even find out? I got a text this morning which was like "XXX congratulations on your offer to study at Usyd! Fine out how to enroal at www.sydney.edu.au/start"...well, telling me which degree I got offered for will be great for a start!

I tried with my new UAC number and it (a) either didn't work or (b) I didn't get an offer. Here is hoping its (a).

Most uni students I know of have a part time job, including myself. Some of them work up to 18 hours but they are usually art students who, like someone said, have limited workloads. For those in more intensive degrees, we tend to do 1-2 shifts just for that extra little bit of money as well as...

Hey guys, I just wrapped up my first year of tertiary study at Usyd and one aspect I really enjoyed about the uni was its student life. This year, I am seriously thinking of transferring to Macquarie though which I heard didn't have quite a vibrant environment. Of course, that doesn't mean I am...

Hey guys, I got an early round offer for law at Macquarie a week or so ago. I don't know whether or not to take it though seeing I am currently indifferent about my degree at Usyd (resource economics). I mean, law could be a whole lot worse for all I know since currently I am doing okay...

Hey guys, I messed up my ATAR last year and barely got into Usyd. I am currently doing B. Resource Economics (ATAR: 82) here but I am unhappy about the course structure (not what I'm really interested in) and really want to transfer to B. Economics (ATAR: 91) instead. This year I tried hard...

I don't think Usyd does early round.
