Okay, so my ATAR result is 92.15 ( kind of expected).

1) I have already got an offer from Sydney university's E12 program and I have secured a place in the commerce single degree.

2) however, the degree I really want to do is something that has both commerce and arts. I really like USYD so B commerce (literal studies) is ideal for me. BUT, the cutoff for this degree last year was 98. My atars 92.15. I have applied for EAS and they say the bonus points will not exceed 5. That means my maximum mark will be no more than 97.15. Do you guise think that this years cutoff for literal studies commerce will be lower? Is my chance getting into this course big?

3) there is another course in USYD called commerce/arts. But it takes 5 YEARS! I would definitely choose that if it only takes 4 years like unsw. The ATAR cutoff at USYD was only 95 and the one at unsw was 96.3. I got band 6 in both of my 2u and 3u Maths so I have gained 4 bonus points with unsw's bonus points program. With my additional EAS bonus points, I think my chance of getting into the course is pretty big. But I don't really like unsw.



What should I do??????? Soooo frustrated



Also, when I accept an offer for bachelor of commerce from USYD in the January first round, will I still be considered for other courses at USYD in the main round afterwards?



Sorry for the long complicated post

You can always accept an offer in an earlier round. If you then receive a different offer in another round, you can decline your first offer.

Re: Commerce (Liberal Studies) - Unfortunately the cut off for this course has always been around 98. It is quite a popular course. So I am sorry to break it to you but your chances are quite low. I would still put it down as a preference just in case for some reason USYD decides to lower the cut off like they did with Law.

Is there a reason to rush your graduation? 5 years isn't really long trust me. It seems long at first but it really isnt.

What should you do? That is really a decision for you to make. No one should be telling you what to do. I guess you could do Commerce or Commerce/Arts and then apply for a transfer to Commerce (Liberal Studies). You could always do Commerce/Arts at UNSW :p

P.S. It's interesting that you say you hate UNSW but you posted in the UNSW section :p Maybe you don't hate us as much as you think?
