ANU's cutoffs aren't set by supply and demand but are set by the university. That's why they've been so consistent over the last five years. Generally there seems to be a preference at ANU to keep cutoffs as low as possible, I posted an email from Ian Chubb a few weeks ago where he said that...

How can you call a game where you can reach the level cap in less than a week grindtastic? There's more of a grind in console RPGs than World of Warcraft, and that's saying something. I vote for Everquest II. PVE in Everquest II has much more depth than WoW and it has so many more genuine...

Valkyria Chronicles. It's just a shame that I have to play it on a friend's Playstation, I can't really justify spending $300 more than an X-box 360 for just one game. My personal top 5: 1. Valkyria Chronicles (PS3) 2. No More Heroes (Wii) 3. Super Smash Bros Brawl (Wii) 4. Dead Space (PS3...

Just copy-pasting a response on alternative admissions scheme from another thread... This program is specifically open to law students. I honestly don't know how many students they take (if any), but if your UAI is only marginally below the cut-off, I suggest giving this test a crack...

You should both take the uniTEST on the 7th of January in Canberra. It's an aptitude test used to fill additional vacancies in programs for people who just missed out because of their UAI. The only ground to qualify to sit the test is a UAI over 70, and you both fit the bill. You can get more...

I call lies. Noone with a HD average is stupid enough to think that it's a mediocre average.

It sounds like every flavour of left wing humanity and discredited far left philosopher rolled into one delicious course.

I used every excuse I could to refer to Posner in legal theory. Even though we never studied him per se, I think my lecturers appreciated me trying to bring up whack economics based interpretations of the law.

The money lost from the removal of DFEE places was reimbursed to universities. Whether that also means that the enrollment cap was lifted and universities are going to be offering more HECS places, I don't know.

Yeah, they need to sustain an illusion of prestige.

Wait an additional two years and aim for graduate law, your UAI counts for even less then (I know at Sydney law schools it counts for 50% as a transfer and 25% as a graduate). I'm no number cruncher like Lazarus, but I don't think even a HD average would let you transfer into law after first...

We had a good lecturer, but I found tax law to be very easy, of course it all depends on the lecturers at your university though. My advice would be to take a mix of subjects and balance ones that sound fun with those that have more of a practical application. I've done conflicts (private...

Try borrowing them from people at college or on billboard.anu.edu.au. You can also try the student second hand bookstore on campus, but it's expensive. Depending on what subjects you're doing, I'd suggest just reading the textbooks in the library instead of buying them.

This is from a recent email sent to ANU staff members by the VC, Ian Chubb. It looks like entry scores will rise next year, despite ANU's best efforts to keep them as low as possible. While most cut offs should remain fairly static, because ANU likes to enforce an across the board benchmark (so...

Re: We are paying $238,000 in tax dollars for every single auto manufacturing employe We do it for sport don't we? :(

A few universities don't study trusts separately from the rest of equity because generally equity permeates most core courses. You learn about estoppal and specific performance in contracts, fiduciary duties in corporations and injunctions in just about everything. Equity isn't useless. Anyway...

I'm not going to comment on the IB degree, but remember that commerce/asian studies is also open to you if you want to do an asian language and a business/commerce degree.

The roads are nice, the drivers aren't.

A friend of mine is a legal officer in the navy, if I see him in the next few days I'll ask him how he's going. It's a pretty amazing deal though, HECS and textbooks paid for, and ~$30,000 per year while you study.

Do law at Maq, it has a campus.
