I can't speak for the last two, but I can say with a fair degree of certainty that work experience is close to irrelevant when applying for internships or grad positions, unless of course, it came down to the bottle and the work experience thing may be seen to be an indicator of your 'bad ass'...

I personally would not touch an actuarial degree with the ten-foot stick. However, I do know that technical modelling skills and a flair for quantitative analysis are highly sought after in the biggest insurance firms, investment banks and government departments. An added plus is that it's very...

Doing Arts in conjunction with Law will help fine tune your writing and argument-mapping skills, will probably succeed in giving you a more holistic outlook on the world, and most importantly, will provide you with much needed variety. Commerce and specifically a major in accounting, will turn...

Don't be disheartened just yet. I've known of many instances where UWS will extend offers to people who do not have a sufficient ATAR score, so long as it is not combined law. If B. Design doesn't have any other requirements (such as proof of a portfolio, interview or anything to that effect)...

No problem, although I would look at USYD handbook entries for the equivalent law subjects that you have completed. Check if the outcomes and content is the same or very similar, and better yet, if you can get your hands on unit outlines, all the better. In some cases, I've heard that some unis...

Assuming you take a standard full-time load each semester, you will FINISH all of your coursework come Nov/Dec 2012. You will apply to graduate for the April/May graduate ceremonies the following year. So in other words, you will graduate in 2013

Look up the credit transfer policies on USYD. They will most likely have restrictions on how many credit/exemptions you can get when transferring. I hear that most unis only allow for the first two years of units from your previous institution (maybe even lower) to be counted as...

Are these CSP or Full-fee paying places? You can't really go wrong with either one.

1 - Rule of thumb: for most course and most unis, your GPA will only be considered after you have done at least 1 year of full time uni. Mid-year transfers will be based on your ATAR alone. Some unis may use a combination of ATAR/GPA for some courses. 2 - Speaking from experience, I was able to...
