Science at Melbourne

[phagist_]

Anyone doing Science and Melbourne under the New gen model?

It's my number 1 preference and am really looking forward to it!

[costargh]

What will the CSP ENTER requirement be?

[phagist_]

They haven't specified (it's dependent on demand) but I'm guessing ~88-89ish maybe?

I don't have a clue.. that's a really rough guess though, haha.
edit: btw, noticed you're from Keysy.. I'm from Dingley!

[costargh]

Aw ok.
My brother got a 83.20. He's gonna put it down on his preferences but probabably wont get it I guess. But we are from an underrepresented school so he might get a favour from Melb Uni lol.

Ohh Dingly I used to play tennis there once in a while back when I used to play for Keyzy against Dingly.

He might get it. In 2005, 82.05 was the lowest ENTER score to get in (not sure if that includes middleband consideration). In 2006, I didn't bother to check.

If he got into Melbourne Science I think he would be ecstatic.

I'm not sure how everyone else is looking at the the whole GUARANTEED ENTER situation but from my understanding I would believe that if demand was not excessively high for a subject then the actual ENTER requirement could very well be under the GUARANTEED ENTER score.
Science at Melbourne isn't the most sought after degree now is it?

[Collin Li]

Heh, but it usually doesn't drop below its Guaranteed ENTER. It still makes sense to have places offered below the Guaranteed ENTER, just that they weren't guaranteed

[costargh]

But its not the clearly-in mark right? (Well in a sense it is). But it isn't based on the scores from the years before. It is just a number that they have created that will ensure a high quality level of students as well as maintaining accessibility for students.

So couldn't it be said that clearly in goes by demand and supply while guaranteed enter goes purely on Universty choice?

[Collin Li]

Yes. The guaranteed ENTER is set as a "clearly-in" for full-fee students, but not CSP. The clearly-in is the useful indicator for CSP places.

[costargh]

Yep cool cool as I thought. I guess maybe with underreped scenario he may JUST may scrape in. If not other avenues are available =)

  I heard if you get lower than 92.00, you have to have done *two* of physics, chem and bio

He did all three

I'm doing a BSc majoring in maths at UoM next year. 

[vce_2007]

ahmad arent u doin commerce and majoring in actuarial studies?

[vce_2007]

so does the guaranteed ENTER mean that if you get over that you are 100% guaranteed a place in that course with full fee?
