I'm 2 years into a degree at Macquarie but have decided that it isn't for me. I was looking to transfer into an International Relations/Law degree at USYD or UNSW, but have an ATAR of 87 and a Pass Average in 2 years of study. Obviously I have no chance of a direct transfer to IR/Law, but what about a transfer to say a Bachelor of Arts at USYD/UNSw and then, assuming I get good marks in the BA, applying to transfer to IR/Law? Does anyone have similar experience they could share? How hard is it to get into IR/Law and will I get in with a D average in BA? Thanks!

too late for you, you already did 2 years of study with very low marks.
why too late? 2 years in the scheme of the the next 50 years of my working adult life is nothing.
I'm more interested to know what my chances are of transferring into IR/Law are eventually, what marks will I need in the BA? And will my old tertiary record be taken into account?

as I said, if you did 2 years full time of a 3 year degree, your GPA is already too low to transfer into ir/law.
If you want to study a JD, your best bet is to do a masters first and then do the JD.

A pass is too low for any transfer. a high credit may even get you a transfer but being in uni for 2 years already most uni's don't accept final year transfers...

Final year transfer just don't for most uni, especially on PASS marks
