Title: Which course?
Post by: costargh on August 20, 2008, 05:28:55 pm
I'm having a bit of trouble deciding on my preferences.
Most of my top 6 I either won't get because I didn't get the 25 in methods or won't get the ENTER but it doesn't hope to wish :)

so this is what I'm thinking

1. Law - Monash Clayton (ENTER is 99ish so won't get it but just feels good putting it here lol)
2. Commerce -Melbourne Uni 95ish
3. Commerce - Monash Uni 90ish
4 Law/Commrce Deaken Melbourne 93-4ish  ( I realise that the ENTER for this exceeds no.3 but cause of the situation with pre-reqs if they made a mistake or somethign Id rather no.3 lol... wishful thinking? :))
5. Business - Monash Caulfield 82ish

My question is more specificallty related to no4 and no.5

I don't know if I'd rather do Law/Com @ Deakin or Business at Monash Caulfield. I REALLY DONT KNOW lol

Which should I do? (and don't say whatever you want lol... I want other people's opinion)

depends on your preferecences.

I had a friend who does Law/Comm at Deakin, he has said nothing but good things about the environment there. However, I have no idea how Deakin fares in terms of academic prestige.
Another thing is, you have to sit the DULSAT if you want to apply for law in Deakin (i think...)

Only for Non-year 12.

"Selection mode: CY12: ENTER and two-stage process with a middle-band of approximately 20%. NONY12: DULSAT, GPA from Bachelor level and postgraduate studies from courses undertaken during or after 1999, VTAC Pi Form. See Extra requirements for specifics."

I like Monash though. It's like family

i would say law/commerce coz better things would come from doing that rather than just straight business

Thing with straight business is that I never really intend to finish that course. I either wanna transfer into
1) Com/Law
2)Commerce/Eco
3)Commerce

at Monash

If you prefer Monash, I've heard that they're fairly good with transfers. So, I guess it depends how much you like business and if you can get a high enough average to transfer into something like law. You can also transfer between unis but I think this is a little more difficult (not impossible though, I remember meeting someone at Melbourne uni who had transferred from Deakin).

Have you been to both open days? I went to the Deakin open day when I was in year 11 and it seemed pretty nice.

1) Com/Law
2)Commerce/Eco
3)Commerce

at Monash

Well if you wanna transfer into Monash law I'd suggest you do com/law at deakin, just because I think it's easier to transfer into law if you have credit already from a law course, if you see what I mean?

Plus it'll help you see if you enjoy law, and if you don't, you could easily drop it and transfer into straight business at Monash.

Oh and either way you'll end up at Monash Caulfield :P the law faculty is moving to Caulfield campus in 2011 ><

Thanks.
I might go open day at deakin this weekend but I think I might just do a course at Monash Caulfield (although it might not be Business anymore, I was thinking maybe Accounting/Management or B&F/Management or maybe a combination of other sorts... not sure
Title: Re: Which course?
Post by: costargh on August 27, 2008, 09:12:03 pm
Have done some more thinking.
I like the fact that Deakin's law has a commercial focus.
But still undecided. :(

Anyone have info, experiences, know people in Com/Law at Deakin?

I know someone who goes to Deakin, but only studies Commerce, not Law. She enjoys it a lot, the campus has a lot of great facilities, she loves the library, and it really motivates her to try harder in her studies.

I think Deakin is a good place, based on her opinion, but can one opinion really make a difference? :P

Thanks. I hear good things about Deakin. I rekon ill decide when I get my ENTER (if its good enough)
Title: Re: Which course?- Deakin Law/Com or Monash (something businessy?)

bump with a different subject name

I recommend during Commerce/Law at deakin, as this uni is still looked upon as rather good, and would come in around 3rd ranking in Melbourne.

Commerce/Law still needs a fairly good score, and I would look at it, if it weren't for location.

Commerce/Law would open all the doors for these two courses, and from what I have heard it is not hard to transfer into commerce at Monash (you need 80% results, and the maths requirement fulfilled).

Its sad that business subjects aren't marked up more. As I know a guy in my class, who battles through eco, but does Spesh and Latin, and will get into Commerce at Melbourne, because he can't get into Law, and doesn't want to do the UMAT for Med, and commerce seems the next best thing

5th :D

RMIT is 3rd and La Trobe is 4th

RMIT doesn't offer Law and La Trobe is just like 7 hours away
