Yeah I know... "make amends".

Hmm generally though once people get here they embrace the club macness within, so maybe there's hope for that person yet..

After a year at USYD, and with you being in B Arts (Advanced) (which has a UAI cut-off close to 99!) I'd say no...there's no hope. You're over to the darkside. Still, it's good you're gonna get a taste of MQ this year.

6 points, did i say that? I think if someone said up by 6 points they would mean 90 to 96, but not sure. With Late/final round, 6 points increase isnt unusual. i got my Barts-psych late round when lowest was 92.5 and its usually 86ish. Very rare for a uai to go down.

OK. First of all. When I transfered to UNSW, I had to do MACRO and MICRO AGAIN as I was unabled to get credit. Introduction to Economics at UTS was very practical in that it FOCUSED on HOW business should be run in accordance with the economic cycle/facts and HOW various factors in economy affect the operation of businesses. Although, some people claim that this subject is very superficial in that it deals with MACRO and MICRO in one subject, for me it was just appropriate level of teaching for GENERAL business students (not ALL business students need profound knowledge in such field for obvious reasons).
In UNSW, I found that, for example MACRO and MICRO, subjects had very extensive content but it really lacked practicality. The subject content included many irrelevant concepts and ideas on economics that weren't necessarily important for all if not most commerce students. (I think the reason for this is that B Eco and B Com do the same subjects in the first year which means that they need to adaquately provide for B Eco students unlike UTS where they dont have B Eco and the first year subs are purely directed towards B Business students).
everyone knows that B COMMERCE @ macq is harder than B BUSINESS @ UTS. They shouldnt be compared coz at UTS the core subjects are easy business theory subjects, whilst in a commerce degree like macq u study much more in depth financial and economic analysis.

Plus UTS dont have prerequisites which would make things very easy, in comparison to Macq where if u fail a subject u cannot move on until u pass it again (which is the case in a lot of subjects).

So the decision is yours. You want to do more work and end up with a more qualified degree do B COMMERCE at Macq, but if u want a more practical business aspect do the easier but worthwhile B BUSINESS at UTS.

P.S. If u are a commerce student IRONMIKE u need to learn the harder concepts and theories, there's no point watering it down coz then it wouldnt be a commerce degree would it. It would be business!

IronMike responded to most of those claims in his subsequent posts (which form the bulk of the thread - I think pages 2 to 6). =p

First, alot (in comparison to very very few if any at Maquarie) of UTS people are on scholarships with those firms.
Second, alot of Macquarie students are internation students who don't apply for "Big 4".
Third, Accounting is not equivalent to "Commerce".
Fourth, statistics don't tell the full story.
Fifth, are you telling me that Sydney Commerce is worse than UTS Commerce?
Sixth, are you telling me that ANU Commerce is worse than Macquarie Commerce?
