Received an ATAR of 62, currently have GPA of 4 out of 4 and HD average (87 WAM). Macquarie Uni.

This thread is kind of depressing, I applied for big 4 internships the start of this year and received offers from all 4 except for Deloitte (received AC offer from Deloitte but decided not to go to it). I think people need to stop focusing on the job market and realise that you're the only one...

Yep that was the confusing part for me i have no idea what this subject actually involves

Damn that sounds pretty good actually, didn't realise you got actual legit work experience.

Yeah ima stay at MQ. What edge do you think it gives?

Maybe! :awesome:

Just got invited to apply to do this subject, apparently it's invitational only based upon academic results.. Anyone know anything about this unit? Apparently it provides opportunities to network and work with business leaders and stuff, it fills an elective slot. However, it's provided by...

There's no maths in STAT170, i dropped maths in year 10 and was awful at maths, but i found STAT170 to be one of my favourite/ easiest units for first year. They give you a formula sheet in the tests/exams for every formula you need to know, the hardest thing about stat is just figuring out what...

So what did everyone end up doing? I've gotten in contact with an accounting professor at the ASB for advice, still deciding!

If you're looking to just work in big 4 accounting or commercial banking then UTS is fine, but UNSW will give you a leg up in the big leagues like IB if you were planning on having a crack at it.

I dunno man, i'm really on the fence. We still have plenty of time to decide and I don't want to make any hasty decisions, i might wait a few days and then see how i feel.

Oh god, really? I didn't know that.

That's weird, because i compiled a list of subjects that i would need to complete in order to satisfy the Accounting requirements, Finance requirements and ICAA requirements and it seems to add up to 144 units of credit perfectly. Accounting and Financial Management 1A (Accounting) Accounting...

Depends what you wanna go for man, UNSW won't give you much of a leg up for accounting firms, but investment banks and law firms do discriminate so if you want to work in high finance or law then maybe go for UNSW. You also have to consider that graduating in July may make applying for graduate...

Also if you guys have any friends doing the same thing it might be a good idea to pass the knowledge on, i'm lucky i came across that.

As long as i am enrolled in subjects at Macquarie by the census date and not subjects at UNSW than everything will be fine, i spoke to a really helpful guy on the phone who cleared everything up for me. If i were to not be enrolled in subjects by the census date at Macquarie then that means i...

I checked with MQ, we have plenty of time to decide, though you can start enrolling for classes on the 4th of feb so we should make a decision by then in order to get decent classes.

I've submitted my credit app and all of that to UNSW but it looks like i can still enrol at MQ until the end of this month, though i'm not sure if i'm stuck with UNSW now or not. Worse case scenario i just do units that will make for an easy transfer back to MQ after 1 semester and then continue...

So that's 3 units that we are behind on now sigh... What are you planning on doing?

Another thing i think we should also consider is this: http://www.charteredaccountants.com.au/Candidates/The-Chartered-Accountants-Program/Entry-requirements/Accredited-courses.aspx Take a look at the 'Accredited Tertiary Courses' pdf and scroll down to UNSW. I'm not sure how this thing...
