Bonus Points for Double Degrees? (1 Viewer)

[A711]

I'm aiming for Commerce/Science, ATAR 96.3 but I'm not sure under which bonus points scheme it falls under
'Bachelor of Science' or 'Bachelor of Commerce'? (There's no dual option)

btw, if I get say 96 including bonus points, will UNSW give a leeway of 0.3?

It is also known as '424100 Combined Commerce' that belongs to the Business School Faculty. If you did get 96 including bonus points, probably won't get in since I dont think UNSW gives leeways.

Phototastic is correct. If it is 96 including bonus points you still won't get in with a cutoff of 96.30 because it is a Cutoff however the international UAC guide suggests that combined commerce will have an ATAR requirement of 92 (projected 2016 cutoff) but I cannot vouch for the validity of the projection or its relevance for locals.

nahh it's an ATAR equivalent. imagine the pain they would go through if they had to list like ten countries and their specific high school qualifications. Better just to give an equivalent and have them translate their IBs or A-levels into ATAR.

Wait so you can't even use bonus points to get into double degrees like Commerce/Economics or Commerce/Arts at UNSW?

Yes you can, it is under combined commerce.

For your information, these are the only double degrees with Commerce that is applicable under the HSC bonus point scheme, which the degrees are also known as "Combined Commerce."

Otherwise for any other degrees combined with Commerce, they will only accept bonus points from the UAC EAS scheme.

What about EAP Bonus points scheme at UNSW?

Oops, my apologies EAP is applicable except EAP bonus points are not available for admission to the Bachelor of Medical Studies / Doctor of Medicine or any Co-op scholarship degrees. For students applying for entry to UNSW in 2017, EAP bonus points will not be available for admission to Combined Law. Also, note EAP bonus points caps at 5, same with HSC bonus and the combined maximum bonus points with other avenues is 10.
