If I failed b.eco but I returned back to do b.com/law are my grades still destroyed?

I failed b.eco (arts and social science faculty)miserably as most of you know. It totally destroyed my future wam. HOWEVER if I returned back to usyd to do commerce/law (which is business and law faculty) will GPA/WAM still be affected from my past shit marks from the arts faculty?

I already know that its still on my transcript. IDC. I just want to know if it will continually ruin my wam even though im in another faculty.

It will still be on your transcript as you already know, but from my understanding/experience (which might not neccesarily be the case at Usyd/those faculties) WAM/GPA is completely reset on a transfer or change in enrolment.

I don't think you realise how hard it is to get into USYD Combined Law. With your ATAR, you'll need really high uni marks

Definitely NOT memorising! It's all about problem solving and application - that's why I love it. Like the others have said, most exams are open book.

It's really not that simple. There are other deciding factors like how well you interview, your problem solving skills as well as if your resume and cover sheet are any good.

Btw, do you have a job yet or is the "maccers, big w, coles mixed" just another hypothetical thing? For part time work (and actual jobs 10-20 years down the line) employers would rather see that you have worked at one place for awhile rather than moved around a lot. It brings up questions about your loyalty to employers and if you haven't kept a job very long it might suggest incompetence.

Also, assuming it is hypothetical, you'd probably be better off working at department stores/supermarkets in the same group rather than working at one Coles group store and one Woolworths store. I.e. Coles + Kmart or Woolworths + Big W instead of Coles + Big W.
Maybe it's just me, but imo you'd be more likely to get that third job, you'd be able to group the two jobs together on your resume and it won't look like you have no hesitation suddenly working for the competition.

sghguos, I don't even understand you.

Firstly, your literacy skills are mediocre at best, you have failed first year economics and you think you're able to do law and get distinctions? Stop kidding yourself and realise that if you failed economics with a mark of 6, you're probably not going to be ready for any university degree, let alone one with a heavy workload.
