If you want an inaccurate prediction, ask an economist.

Seriously, not one person could give you a quantifiable answer that would satisfy your curiosity.

 

[midifile]

^ I agree

Seeing as I have no idea, i'm gonna say down, purely for the fact that I know that's what you want to hear, so you'll have false hope of getting in. But really, it can go either way

 

[georgefren]

Be about the same, surely. Might move up or down by .05, but thats it.

 

[4jess7lov]

theyre meant to be offering more places dodo

 

[georgefren]

and?

 

[dp624]

look, if youre under cutoff
put it anyways
you might get it

 

[4jess7lov]

and?

more places means lower uai to get in

 

[midifile]

more places means lower uai to get in

...so you answered your own question?

Also, at the open day they were talking about a preferential transfer system in UNSW.

If you got a UAI between 97.00 and the 2009 cut-off and maintain an average over 70 in your first year of uni you are guaranteed transfer into law. Seeing as you have to do a combined degree, you'll just do more of the other course in your first year, and then less in the second/third etc, and the combined degree should still be the same length as if you got in straight out of high school.

more places means lower uai to get in

not if those places are international full fee paying

im saying 99.30, no change. its possible to be offered a place if u miss out by very little, eg. late round etc. and there's always the internal transfer option. 70WAM shuldnt be too hard

 

[4jess7lov]

those places are not all international full paying...

 

[simonloo]

did you make this thread only so to receive answers that you WANTED to hear?

 

[georgefren]

There will be marginally more places. But the UAI cutoffs are about supply and demand - and fluctuations in numbers of people applying are much more likely to affect the cut off then the very small increase in places, especially when considering international fullfee paying students.

Got it in one.

As i said, there is not one answer that we could give that would satisfy her.

Historically there is very little deviation at the top but at the end of the day its just speculation.

 

[wil123]

I rekn it will be considerably lower due to the government getting rid of the domestic fee paying positions for the first time, in 2009. In saying that, i have no idea how many positions were offered to DFEE students in the past.. it might not be much at all, so as to lower the uai cut-off. There could also be other factors which will counteract this change...?

One of the other factors you NEED to consider is the increased demand for Combined Law this year. From the Info Day 09, we were told that there were 1200+ people vying for 248 CSP Places at USYD alone. There will be some fluctuations but I doubt it will be heading in the direction of South.

For UNSW Info Day 09, we were mainly told about the new transfer system in place for Combined Law which is being implemented starting next year. Not once did they mention how many people were applying, but I suspect the numbers are similar.
