Heya. You're gunna get people saying this, so I'll make it me.

With a UAI of 42, perhaps you should stay where you're doing well? Difficulty of any course is set at the level people can handle, and the popularity. Since your course would be popular for people with lesser academic ability, and it's less popular, you'll find the work is easier. My point is that a credit at Martin (although I'm saying this without knowing, but it's rational) would not be a credit at UNSW or Sydney- maybe you should stick with martin?

With a UAI of 42, I'm guessing either you had major problems (which I can sympathise with) or you're not the academic type. UNSW / Sydney Commerce degrees are VERY impressive on a resume. Not only because they're hard to get into, but hard to complete.

If you're passionate about something, there is nothign better than having a crack at it, so I'll move away from "why you may want to reconsider" towards "your chances".

Minai will be the best at answering this, but as an observation, standing in ANY tertiary degree gives you more of a chance at getting into uni. You have to remember that 1. Sydney and UNSW com are prestigious (and pretentious) and they may be harder to get in with. There's also the fact that you're not doing a Bachelor, but rather a Diploma. If I read correctly, you're doing two diplomas? Probably more good stuff for you.

I'll say it how it is. If I was getting a credit average in Bus at macquarie, I wouldn't be able to transfer into either sydney or NS. Since you're finishign your degrees, you may have more of a chance. After doing a Bachelor, they'll look at your grades in that, but I'm not sure about a diploma. We'll need to flag Minai in here.

Anyway, there's no harm in speaking to somebody at syd or NS, and I'd probably refrain as much as possible mentioning your UAI because it'll reduce any chances.

Your co-curricular activities mean nothing at UNSW (according to a transfer thread I read), and I doubt they would at Syd either. They would at Mac, because you can accompany your prospective entry with a letter saying why you want to do the degree.

At macquarie, I guarantee you they'd look at your achievements within your diplomas, but I think it's doubtful with the metro unis.

Good luck, and hopefully minai will come into here.

UWS will alos allow diplomas as well as UTS readily....many other unis as well but you seem th etype to stick with the city unis?
so maybe consider them too...

What's that mean? "will allow diplomas"- as in what? They will see you have a Diploma, and just let you in?

great help thanks..

yeah, i've been thinking, maybe im asking for abit too much with UNSW and USYD... MACQ is more a realistic uni i could make it in.. you think???

yeah with my low uai... 42.00 :'( i didnt try at all and regret it totally.. so yeah..

im doing two diploma's in one, one being Advanced diploma of Business Management and the other being a diploma on international business... credit average is what i have at the moment, i will do my best to get distinction average by the time i finish next year in january

i REALLY enjoy international business subjects.. thus making me more want to do an international business degree at macquarie or the others ..

i think with my preferences for 2006 1st semster i will just place UNSW first just incase then USYD and Macq being 3rd.. and so on.. i like UNSW and USYD as you said they do look so much better on resumes and i've heard both uni's offer a greater emphasis on international business subs.. macq's one of the only uni's close to my area that offer international bus as a degree alone... so yeah im moving more towards macq.. being 3rd on my list..

"They would at Mac, because you can accompany your prospective entry with a letter saying why you want to do the degree" can you ellaborate on this.. how would macq read my letter when i have to do a application through UAC?? where can i get more info on this... i really think macq's the uni for me..

Thanks for you help

You're welcome, I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.

If you applied at Macquarie, they would look at your credit average in the Diploma and your letter. I'd put a brief mention of why you didn't go into uni directly (say you had troubles and your UAI was hence low)

 

[jbor]

Could ask HERE for macquarie

 

[little-rat-boi]

UWS is not a uni that i will be applying for.. my brother and sister have gone there and they have both told me that the other uni's in the city area are much more worth trying to get into..

ok.. thanks dudes

Yes but hunny, you got a UAI of 42. You can't really be picky.

 

[little-rat-boi]

true ..

just incase ill be placing my last few preferences as probly wollongong and UWS courses..

 

[klh]

i did say UTS as an option to consider...not just UWS.
"will allow diplomas" as in will allow them as an entry requirement/criteria..
although its said UWS isnt an option for you, UWS's criteria is that your highest marks are the only ones taken into consideration e.g. if your diploma marks are much higher than your UAI or STAT or work experience, than only your diploma marks are taken into consideration.
UTS will look at your diploma marks as well as to staisfy the minimum entry criteria, according to the uac guide.

Excellent. Thanks for the info, repped

Good news for little-rat-boy then

 

[klh]

i apologise for any inconvenience...


edit: no offense but little-rat-boy, what did they say about UWS?
just interested...

UTS will give exemptions for an advanced diploma from TAFE, provided they are relevant. Usually, its a maximum of 24cp though (half a year).

As for allowing entry, well you're in the same boat as every other person applying to uni as a non-recent school leaver. They'll look at your marks as well as your personal statement that you write to them, so make sure you remember to submit a personal statement when you do your UAC application well.

 

[little-rat-boi]

thanks guys that is heaps of help...

a got a question again..

when doing my UAC application, it cant be online because i have to lodge a personal statement which means it has to be a posted application .. am i correct??? or is it actually going to the uni and applying there...

i'm think Macquarie is more a business orientated uni and is more internationally recognised than UTS as from what i can see from recent rankings ... Macquarie being 68 in the world and UTS being 114 or something close to that..

but ill be placing UTS in my preferences for sure..

thanks guys for the help any more is appreciated

I think you could apply online and post the statement. I dunno. I'd honestly ring up Macquarie before you posted that in. Talk to some academic advisor or something, then ask where to send the letter. They might note down that you're passionate.

With which uni is better, I'd check out which one you like more. Hav eyou been to both campuses?

 

[little-rat-boi]

yeah, macq is not as city like as UTS... and my college is in the city.. i'd rather macq as it is a little more different and bush like.. more of a peaceful looking uni...

UTS gets a plus for being close to the station lol macq will take me 40mins to drive and probly and hour by train then bus

 

[jase_]

You apply online via UAC and post/give your personal statement directly to the uni.

 

[Minai]

Yeah, UNSW and USyd are pretty notorious with diploma's and anything in general thats lower than a bachelor degree - I wouldn't recommend trying to get in to those uni's with just diploma marks as generally, they wont consider them.

Wow, B Int Business is only 89.60 UAI
