Need advice regarding transfers. (1 Viewer)

[brent012]

Ok, so bassically i would like to do combined commerce/comp sci or maybe computer or software engineering instead of comp sci. Im thinking that the 96 atar may be out of my reach and hsc plus wont really help with that. Would it be difficult to transfer from Comp Science/Engineering (91) to something with commerce and whats the procedure for doing that? Would i need to be going really well? My other option would be to go to Macquarie or UTS but i really want to go to UNSW and afaik transferring between universities is more complex then just changing courses.

apparently 75 WAM minimum.

Just how hard would 75 WAM be in Computer Science/Engineering? I saw the topic on 70 WAM here but everyone just argues in there. Keep in mind that in software design i am getting ~85-90% in all of the exams (which my teacher, who writes hsc exams, claims were to hsc standards or harder) studying only the day before and interpreting/writing algorithms comes kind of naturally to me which seems to be the hard part for most students.

it all depends on the person, theres no way to determine some hardness level, its different for each person.
