Hello, fellow piano lover :)

noice :D Quite relaxing and calming

nerdasdasd, why not upload some of your own recommendations? I really love how the Berceuse seemingly increases exponentially in difficulty, but still manages to maintain a mellowness to it. One of the happinest pieces I've ever heard! (also amazing how the composer of this piece also composed...

^ Why, thank you :) For anyone who isn't interested in listening to the whole 22 mins, please listen from 4:10 to 4:36 (preferably from 3:27 to 5:00 for the buildup + "diedown") . You can really feel the sadness within that excerpt (either that, or you may visualise a drunk guy on a starry night)

Simply mesmerising, especially for a 16 year old

His tempest sonata rendition is also amazing. + I also like Yundi Li, Evgeny Kissin, Nikolai Lugansky (most, not all) etc.

Enough with the derogatory terms please? Go take your racism and shove it up your ass (If you're racist)

I'd have probably done Earth science or geography in addition to my current subjects. My future ATAR is still ass kissing me after I changed from standard to advanced english earlier this year

Heard plenty of good stuff about this scholarship. Must get up off my ass and go extra curricular now heh Any BOSers on Co-op? How is it?

Did anybody attend the 12:50 finance lecture? The guy there seemed quite nice, but I couldn't keep myself from snickering at the way he said 'faculty' The 1:30 advanced science lecture was pretty damn good too, as well as the tour of the chem labs. So going there next year as well, but I might...

You need a minimum ATAR of 96 as a minimum to be considered. However the ATAR-UMAT relationship varies inversely i.e. an ATAR of 96 with an amazing UMAT score might get you in, as would an ATAR of 99.95 and a good UMAT. And then there's the interview.

Did anybody go to the afternoon advanced science lecture? Hilarious! Overall, I really had fun today and everybody was extremely helpful and friendly + some super cool stuff in the tents (esp.the materials science stuff). The windy nature of the day had some funny results though :)

Ours is next week too, and I haven't started on my notes. Heh

So basically we first enter the Scientia, get our stuff and then head off to any lectures when it's time? What lectures are you guys attending/what do you all plan to do tomorrow? There's surprisingly not much action on this thread as I thought there would be. Really excited for tomorrow...

I wouldn't be surprised if they were forced to lol Anyway, I've hated on them enough. Plenty of more things in the world to love

Is it just me, or are the hosts some of the lamest people on the planet? Channel 11 may save a lot by axing Couch Time. I'd rather watch ads

To recover from the depression resulting from a terrible ATAR

I was under the impression that this degree was quite useless (unless you're studying it as part of the USYD MBBS 'undergraduate' program). Better off doing Science/Advanced science and majoring in something like pharmacology or neuroscience

Damn, I missed out on a lot :( Just the one thing that worries me about USYD, are much of the buildings old (law definitely isn't)? What do the science buildings look like? I seriously hope the equipment + stuff is quite up-to-date + high tech. Glad to hear the great pharmacy reviews :D

If you've already missed out on the USYD open day today, then attend the UNSW one on the 1st of September (Saturday next week). ATAR cut-offs are a reflection of supply/demand, not of course quality. Just because ANU has a lower cut-off for its law course than UTS doesn't mean that it's worse
