WAM for transferring into Arts/Law

[gemgem49]

I'm sure this has been discussed but my internet is too slow to bother with a search so forgive me. What has been the minimum mark for transferring to Arts/Law in the past few years? I have a 75 average at the moment and have a sudden urge to make the transfer at the end of the year so I need to know what kind of average I'm looking at achieving. 80? I know some people have gotten in under 80 in the past but yeah.... Thoughts?

Applicants must fulfil the following minimum criteria for eligibility to apply:

    * Completion of the equivalent of one year or more of a recognised tertiary degree and
    * Achievement of a distinction average or better (70%+) across all university units for a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP), or
    * Achievement of a credit average or better (60%+) across all university units for an international full-fee place.

Note: Entry to law courses is a competitive process and the actual average required depends on the number and standard of applications received each year.

I recall people saying 78+ average just to be competitive though because so many people apply for it...

Yeah it's 78 to be competitive but I from what I've heard you ought to try and get it higher to have a fighting chance. I'm going to be targeting 82-85% for first year - I want to transfer into Law/Arts also

This year apparently a 78 didn't get you to transfer.

Ah k gotta step up my game. Though someone pointed it it would probably be faster just to finish my degree then do the JD but I doubt I'd get into that. Oh well, I'm doing a first year subject, a language and a subject with assessment that includes writing a blog, a ~reflection essay~ and exchanging emails with a student at an overseas university -___- hopefully I can do it...

From what I hear they look at your ATAR first year transfers - if you were just below the clearly in they might accept you with a lower average than someone who got a lower ATAR. It all depends.

Transferring into LLB would be ten times easier than JD I'd say - you have to do the LSATS, interviews and other stuff to get into that

Well, that sucks. As you can see I'm pretty far off from the clearly in..
