No. Generally, they pay you to stick around with them.

WOW, insanity, THE system WON'T let ME post IN all CAPS even THOUGH they WERE all ACRONYMS - how terribly unclever of the thing. Please don't take the lack of capitals as a blot on my credibility, no way in hell would I be dolt enough to do shit like that. / insecure

There is no way in hell I would take my PhD in law (yet again, as a career = plausible, as study = I want to vomit) - I imagine I couldn't slog out the, what 5 or so years unless it was something I enjoyed, i.e. philosophy. The two sort of complement each other I think and whilst I am sure...

Unsw > Uts > Mq, Imho.

Would I be intruding if I asked where you worked in the academic world? Seriously, if you have any pointers (I mean, apart from 'get the hell out of there, damn smart') - they would be much appreciated, academia seems like one treacherous place from all I've read around.

Oh shit, sorry to assume on the age front. :uhoh: Ah, I didn't say I had 'no' interest in an LLB / BSc double degree - just a very 'convoluted' interest, so to speak. Whilst I think I'd hate to study law, I think I would enjoy it as a career. Vice versa with science: whilst I can't imagine...

LLB / BSc was my highest Monash preference - which would've been interesting as i) I have no interest in studying law, and ii) I have no interest in a career in science. Yeah, the PhB has a fully integrated Honours year - but that is strictly academic for me, I would've liked to, and...

ANU - i) more dosh (NUS - $10k p.a. plus 2 flights home / year) ii) cheaper to live iii) the PhB Should be fun!

What do you mean 'was'?

I think that many a prospective employer will take quite kindly to previous 'buttsecks on Oxford St' experience - I mean, if you can do that, a bit of action in the office stairwell will come naturally, and soon you'll be fucking your way to the top of Goldman Sachs. Think of it as a...

Mind you, then again, being a big academic fish in a small pond may also be fun - ego massage and all that.

Yes! I think that with the slimy nature of business people in general, that mark of USYD on your CV will be of paramount importance. Even if they didn't go there, they wish they could've gone there - so naturally will give that knowing wink etc. While USYD & UMELB ain't no Oxbridge, I think...

I've just received one cracker of an early Christmas present - guess what? Anyone else been offered one yet? BTW, I intend to accept and thus shall be seeing you at ANU next year!

TAFEs generally like As and Bs (sadly, they don't seem to give a shit WHAT SUBJECT the grade was given in - an A in Physics = an A in Food Tech.), as well as work experience in their applicants. So yeah, not sure what situation that places him in. Is full-fee an option? If so, you may want to...

As far as I know, you can accept the Early Round offer and still be eligible for offers higher on your preferences than said offer in the Main round. What they can jeopardise is your eligibility for scholarships (some institutions insist on you not having accepted any other tertiary offers as...

Anyone had any offers yet? The $6,000k p.a. that they've thrown towards me is a nice ego boost but I'm afraid I'm probably going to have to reject it for greener pastures.

Of course you didn't! I had to give the punters some value for money though. Thank again!

It did! And I didn't even say 'thank you' . . . So er - thank you! For the benefit of all I will spread the good word: ring the college yourself instead of being a damn fool and asking others.

. . . for someone who has been through all the yuck of college applications: Do Burgmann conduct interviews? I just want to feel all happy and safe about the fact that no one has got back to me yet and that this is their normal procedure (if otherwise, I'm hitting the comfort food big...

I emailed them re: the NUS thing nigh on a year ago with a little more luck. Apparently, their W.A. quota (the scholarships are partially distributed by state) ran down to an ENTER / UAI / TER of 99.70. Not sure if that gives you anything, but I imagine that with a 99.90+, you could probably...
