Chances of transferring into USyd/UNSW Law? (1 Viewer)

[Sherlock]

I'm currently studying arts at Sydney University, but I plan to transfer to Law. However, I've heard that transferring into Law is very competitive at Sydney (as well as UNSW), and I basically have no chance since I was way off the cut-off (90.25 ATAR).

So, what are my chances of transferring into either UNSW or USYD? I haven't gotten any of my assignments back, so I can't really tell you the marks.

For USYD:

Admission requirements are based upon your ATAR (50 per cent) and Tertiary Grade Point Average (50 per cent), or the Tertiary Grade Point Average (100%), whichever is higher. Entry to Combined Law is extremely competitive and experience suggests you will require an ATAR above 97 and/or a Tertiary Grade Point Average in the Distinction range to be competitive to transfer into Combined Law.

It seems like this year's NRSL was around 97 (or perhaps lower) for USYD. This equates to a GPA of approximately 6.2 or perhaps, just above 6.0/6.1 (your ATAR will be irrelevant if we're using 100% GPA).

As for UNSW, the NRSL cut-off seemed to be around 95.5 or so for UNSW. This equates to a GPA of approximately 5.9 to 6.1. I know someone with a mid-credit GPA who got into UNSW Law (external transfer) (I think 50% ATAR 50% GPA applied to them though).

In short, aim for a healthy distinction average and you should have a chance.
