comm/law....not sure where tho (usyd or unsw - the decision has been plaguing me all year).
The sydney uni dean of law did phone me yesterday however and congratulated me on my uai and said "of course you're into law here" etc and told me about the course. Definitely made my day! Just consolidated for me the whole reason for all the work i've done this year.....to get into uni! yay!!!
Sydney uni : 1 unsw : 0

usyd was my second option after melbourne and so if i was you i'd be choosing it over unsw. either way tho, good luck for next year and i'm sure your result was well deserved

Minai, from most accounts commerce is better at unsw, but arts is more established at sydney. You have a similar dilemma to me with my comm/law.
Also I have also heard that some arts courses (ie if ur more interested in languages, history etc...) are better at unsw or sydney, so look into that.
Either way, both unis are excellent, so you may have to take into other factors, e.g transport (i see u live in chatswood - usyd's straight down the trainline, whereas unsw is difficult by public transport and $6.50 toll each day if u drive, without including petrol and parking). Social lives, extracurricular as well of course shoudl be considered.
It also depends on what ur focus for commerce is. I've heard from several sources that if u want more public sector commerce to go to usyd, the more traditional and theoretical stuff etc.
Unsw is more up with the finance, stockbroking, investment side. Different sources say different things though. *sigh* Good luck with the decision making!

Omg i'm sooooooo jealous! my entire fascination with usyd is based on its remote similarity to harvard.
How did u apply? Are you moving there? Do you have to pay $40,000 school fees? Don't their terms start in september tho? And isn't their law degree graduate?
hmmm is this genuine?

I have my doubts - AFAIK you need SAT 1 & 2 scores to get into Harvard. One of my friends has been accepted based on those.
According to the Harvard magazine, undergraduate expenses per year were $37 000 US in 2001.
And anyway, law is a postgrad at Harvard. You can get a B.A. majoring in law perhaps, but not a law degree per se. That's the entire point of getting a general liberal arts degree.
B Arts/Sc in Psychology at Macquarie
my UAI is high enough to get in based on last yrs UAI so hopefully this yr the demand for the course aint too high to raise this yrs cut-offs...
on that note... how many ppl r considering doin Psychology at Macquarie??? coz if theres too many the UAI will rise... unfortunately...
