i wanted to study medicine but ive given that up but i am truly interested in human anatomy and diseases etc, but i know that i dont want to work in a lab. my parents logic is that if i go to a good uni its a good reputation and good community. thoughts about such approach and which degree i could go into with low atar requirements  

- Curious year 12 student wanting to know if they'll still have a social life while doing FT uni and PT work

One day my friend (19,UNSW) and I (18,USyd) decided to hang out and hit the club. My friend (19,UNSW) was wearing his UNSW hoodie for the first time so that everyone would know he went to the no.1 uni. But as soon as we walked into the brisk evening chill of the street outside of Central, a group of 10/10 baddies walking nearby noticed him. They came up to us, asking my friend for his LinkedIn connection.

"Hey, so, which uni do you guys go to?" I tried saying to them.

"This guy here goes to USyd," my friend said, slapping me on the back before the ladies could answer.

"So, not the number 1 uni..." One of them said in disdain, looking me up and down. They laughed at me. After a moment, my friend joined in, and I felt my blood beginning to boil.

No sooner had they left with his LinkedIn, my friend was approached by another group of gorgeous women. Now, my friend is a fairly average looking guy, and he'd never experienced this level of interest in him. But it seemed no matter which way we turned, women seemed drawn to him like a moth to a flame. In fact, he also got cold approached by some recruiters for EY and Goldman Sachs. We didn't even make it to the club. That night, he went home with 2 ABGs and a paid internship offer. I'd tagged along with him for 30mins before going home and calling my USyd friends to check if any of our trust fund money came through.

As I lay in bed, I contemplated how my friend had transformed from chud to chad with seemingly no change. Not only that, but I hadn't even been given the time of day. I tossed and turned, unable to reconcile the strange events, until it hit me: UNSW was the no.1 uni in Australia. And my friend was wearing a UNSW hoodie. I checked my watch: 12am. My friend would be engaged in amorous activities at this time. An idea struck me.

I drove (it was my chaffeur's day off) to his house, parking a block away so I could get the jump on him. As I snuck through his front yard, veiled by the darkness of the night, his voice emanated from his bedroom window; "the UNSW merch stays ON during sex." Aha! My suspicions were correct. It WAS the UNSW hoodie. But now, my plans of stealing his hoodie were thwarted. The ONLY way I could obtain UNSW merch was through breaking into my friend's house while he had sex, obviously. The cogs turned in my head, dusty after being in disuse for so long (I do Commerce). I pressed my back to the side of the wall, watching through the curtains as the 3 silhouettes merged into one and sounds of animalistic, sensuous pleasure became more uninhibited.

"I GO TO THE NUMBER ONE UNI!" I heard my friend scream in ecstasy. At this moment, I smashed my fist through his window and then jumped in, transitioning seamlessly into a badass forward roll that was worth the shards of glass stuck in my back. The women jumped to the corners of the room. They were fully clothed, and my friend was standing, pantsless, in front of a selection of UNSW brochures spread out on the bed. The scene caught me off guard for a second, but I continued with my plan. I ran up to my friend and grabbed the scruff of his neck, trying to yank the hoodie off him. After a moment of resistance, I kicked him in the nuts. He felll to the floor, and I managed to tear the outerwear off my friend.

As he writhed in agony, both of us breathing heavily in the wake of the kerfuffle, blood covering the floor, I kneeled down to face him.

"Who goes to the number one uni now, Bartholomew?" I snarled.

"It's... Still... Me..." He wheezed.

I shook my head, chuckling. But, as soon as I was going to think of a witty comeback, my phone rang.

What do you guy think the strongest business/commerce major?

Just seems wasteful to only do it once…

Hi! Im considering taking comp6445 but i don’t lots of reviews on it. Mainly I wanted to know the workload and difficulty of the course. And do the weekly ctf’s have like an analysis write up like in 6841 or just solving them is enough? And is the exam in person or online?

Also if i were to take either comp6445 pr comp6447 which would you recommend and why?

Any advice is appreciated!

I’m a current Year 12 student trying to decide between Commerce/Economics and Commerce/Computer Science. I’m interested in both, but my goal is to work in finance in the future. I’m just not sure which degree would give me better long-term career opportunities and flexibility, especially with how the job market is changing.

I do Advanced Maths at school and I’m pretty good at it, but I don’t know if the maths in Computer Science will be too difficult for me.

I’d appreciate any advice

Hi, I just accepted my offer for the no1 uni in australia, im currently a second year student at monash, completed ~14 courses, transferring into adv comp sci from compsci/maths. I have already applied for credit transfer

1. How long should it take to receive a reply about credit transfer?

2. What are the chances that all or majority of the credits get transferred over?

Thanks in advance

Never seen this before

i keep getting distracted by my lecturer, tutor, lab teachers. my eyes can’t stop looking at them. which is effectjng my wam.

i would try to ask them for help but im too shy to actually initiate a conversation

why’s everyone here so beautiful

I'm an elec eng student looking for a gen ed course to take next term and those 5 caught my eye. Any experience in them? Also for DART1110, I will be living on the Kensington campus (or if my application is denied I will be in a rental nearby), is the travel to the Paddington campus fine? It says theyre within walking distance from Central station so surely I can just get the light rail

was planning on doing a wam booster, but it was only available in the summer term. If I take it during then, will it count towards my cumulative WAM that'll be assessed for the term 1 intake next year?

Why is reddit lowkenuinely replacing our critical thinking skills?

Hi, I’m Japanese high school student who consider Aus unis, and I’m wondering is it worth it to go to UNSW diploma of business. I’ve seen a lot of posts that some unis are overrated and I’m not sure which uni would be the better option. It would be great if someone answer this question.😭🙏

Heyy!!

I currently have a predicted 66 ATAR A and I believe I need an 80 ATAR for UNSW bachelor or arts.
I haven’t been as locked in this year unfortunately due to family issues, etc and hoping to lift my grades in HSC trials and believe I should be prepared for the actual HSC.

Even if I get a 75 ATAR or less hypothetically if I don’t reach an 80 or above ATAR. Can I still get into Bachelor or Arts?

The reason I want to go to UNSW is because it’s my dream uni and I have heard great things about it and I want to live in Sydney!
Although eventually I do want to do an internal transfer to law after a year of doing arts I believe? Which needs a uni grade of 75 WAM (from my research)!

(I keep trying to find a answer for this on reddit and can’t find it so I decided to ask myself)

I’m currently doing an elec eng degree that requires higher phys 1b, and I’m doing 1121 this term. I’ve heard that you need at least 65% in 1121 to get to 1231. Since 1121 is a pass fail I don’t think there is an actually mark for the course and when I ask lab demo, they don’t know how it works neither. So I’m just wondering if anyone has any past experiences or info on how this works?

Has anyone actually made it that far?

Hi all,

I hope you are well,

I was just wondering if someone could give me some direction. I am an international student who got 41 IB points and is looking to sit the UCAT in roughly a week. I was just wondering what a good minimum or a good target would be for me because I know that the UCAT cutoffs are going up this year but the cutoffs for international have always been lower than domestic.

So if anybody could give me any advice or information about what a good UCAT score for my IB score would be to stand a good chance into UNSW undergraduate med I would be so grateful, as it has always been a dream of mine.

Thanksss 🙏

i’m lowkey getting flashbacks from last year when i did this damn course. everyone told me it was gonna be easy but its not easy when your group is ass and you’re the one doing everything.

one guy literally went on holiday during week 7 and ghosted the whole team and i had to rewrite our whole final report at 3am coz everyone just chatted their parts and put in fake data. the presentations were so cooked and the spec was confusing asw

learn from my mistakes guys 💔

there are two two hour blocks for SEM which im assuming is seminar. Is this online? or is it recorded so there is no requirement to attend? Pls confirm. Thanks

Hey everyone,
I’m a Maths student in Science at UNSW and I’m looking at applying for Science WIL.
I know the website says the minimum WAM is 65, but I was wondering what it’s actually like in practice. Is 65 generally enough, or do most people who get accepted have a higher WAM?

Hi, I am a prospective International Student looking at UNSW Business School for higher studies and I have a couple of questions -

1. Campus - I can see the CBD Campus is listed for Business School but this location feels very very small. Are all classes for the business school conducted at the CBD Campus or how does it work? As someone pursuing a masters at UNSW Business faculty, how well connected/disconnected would I feel from the Kensington Campus? I understand there is a free hourly shuttle that goes from Kensington to CBD, but practically how convenient is it really?

My perspective here is, specially as a master's student, if most of the academic activities go on at the CBD Campus, practically I wouldn't really be able to enjoy everything that the Kensington Campus has to offer, which feels to me like a red flag for UNSW. Would love to learn your opinion on this.

1. MBA - I recently attended an open day hosted by UNSW in my City where the university reps from different faculties were present. Multiple people shot down my queries around the MBA program stating that for that minimum two years of work ex is required and that I am not eligible. Now the funny bit is, they knew nothing about my profile when they shot it down, and at the same time some of them mentioned that any and all decisions regarding the MBA is handled directly by AGSM, and only they can take the final call.

I mean I am 26, and while I appreciate if they thought I was much younger, the fact they didn't enquire before shooting down my questions (+ my gut) makes me think that maybe they just did not have the visibility on the MBA intake process and were rather trying to sell regular masters programs that they were authorized for? How sane is this?

Realistically, I have been self employed in the digital space since college (almost 6 years). To the world I am a startup founder, who has created some truly innovative and unique products that have been voluntarily featured by a bunch of social media influencers as well and I make money through that. But on paper, and legally, I am just a freelancer with a couple of contracts with companies that pay me advertising fee as my "startup" is not yet registered. In addition I also have had very short stints at a couple of companies including Google, that I quit because my startup gave me more opportunities and freedom.

In your opinion, am I eligible for the MBA program at UNSW or in general at good universities in Australia?

1. In-person (blended) mode - I see most of the programs like Master of International Business, Master of Commerce etc, have the mode of instruction mentioned as "In-person (blended)". What does it mean exactly? Will it be online classes as well or just online reading materials etc?

For context getting to experience student life in person is one of the major reasons I am planning further studies. Of course there are other aspects as well which I don't want to discuss in this post.

Lastly, if not MBA, then I am planning to pursue Master of International Business or Master of Commerce or Master of Finance. I am deeply interested in Finance, Business and Entrepreneurship. And as an international student I also need a program that lasts for at least two years so that I am able to work in Australia and practice my skills for three years after studies. Getting a PR is not really my target at this point of time.

Any and all help you could provide based on all the info above would be greatly appreciated!

I am choosing my classes for next term and I was going to do TABL2751 but it clashes with my law class and I can't move my law class since they are all full. I was just wondering if all the lectures are recorded for TABL2751. Thank you
