Monash enhancement Maths

is anyone doing this next year at clayton campus? hate to be a loner...

and to ppl who did it, how was it? when did they tell you whether your application was successful? and did they assess you really harshly? I averaged A/A+ in everything this year (and hopeful 40+ SS for methods and IT), except for English Language in semester 2 which i averaged halfway between A and B, would that be enough?

*i should have posted this in the uni maths section, but rarely anyone goes to it...

thnx heaps

my school was doubtful about me doing it...i had to repeatedly argue my case with my coordinator..because he was the one signing it off and would also tell the principal to sign it, seeing as we got a new principal this year and he doesnt know me at all.
My Subjects:
2006 I.T Systems --> 42
2007 English --> 40
         Methods --> 41
         Spec --> 38
         Chem --> 36
         Physics --> 37
         Unimaths --> 5.5

ENTER: 97.35

Let me tell you a story:

I originally applied to UMEP and was denied on account of my poor year 11 average. I should note, in my defense, International Politics is not a real subject and thus does not warrant any work/effort/high achievement, and I was a fool for thinking that I didn't need to work at English 1+2, and these two subjects really kicked the crap out of my average. However, I appealed with everything I, and my school had to throw at them and was accepted. The point is, if you want to and you get 40+ for methods (I got 44, which helped my appeal), you should be fine. The year 11 average is only so they can save their asses from people saying the workload impinged on their ability to manage time in year 12. If you're balancing your time effectively in year 11, they figure, it shouldn't differ in year 12 + one uni enhancement subject. However, again, it's only a measure to protect YOU (and, subsequently, themselves). If your school will fight hard enough for you like mine did, they'll reverse it, simply because the pre-requisite is there just to help you rather than have any bearing on the course. Your school knows you better, and the good people at Monash probably realise this, and will listen to your school if it thinks you're capable.

So, in conclusion:
1) Get 40 in Methods
2) Don't worry about year 11
3) Enjoy Monash Enhancement Maths.
4)* Employ me as a tutor for the subject (H1 in UMEP maths). :D

*4) is advised, but not necessary.

Hope this was of help.

UMEP == University of Melbourne Extension Program. :)

It's sad how inferior Monash's science department is to Melbourne btw. I advise all people applying for extension/enhancement in Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Mathematics to consider UMEP over MUESP simply because the Melbourne faculty of Science >> Monash faculty of Science.

And don't call me a Monash basher, I'm *going* there. It's a sad reality I have to live with. :P Stupid Melbourne, scrapping its double degrees. >_>

Haha it's not like those who applied to do it next year can change their applications now >.< And I think most people who applied for Monash live closer to the location than Melbourne Uni so they don't have to travel so much...

Melbourne university maths enhancement students don't attend the university for lectures, they attend a school centre, usually one located near them. The school centre I attended was across the road from my school. :)
