I got Law at Victoria University.
I also got Media, Journalism and Professional Communication at RMIT!
There is University hope for me now!
Discuss if you got anything as well. :)
-
well done :), so which course are you going to pick?
-
good work! i'd go with law if i was you.
-
I thought you didn't know whether your SEAS played a part in your offers or not? :\ Or is this for underprivileged schools or something?
Is this SEAS category 7? Or applicable to all sections of SEAS?
-
CONGRATS ALANA!
well deserved :)

Phew, I frantically went to check the mail. Thats a relief, I didn't apply for that.
Hang on, so for the rest of us that applied under Special consideration 11/12, we're not meant to get offers like happy did, right?

No... Or I don't think so anyway. I think it was only for the underprivileged schools who got their offers today. :)

Haha so did I :P

I might have asked a couple of you already but, has the SEAS section disappeared from your VTAC profile too?
-
Nawwwww congrats Happy :)
I'm so happy for you :D kekekee
-
Tehe, maybe I will choose Law. :P
Naww... Thanks guys. :)
EDIT: @ username: I don't know what happened to the SEAS section here? ???
-
I might have asked a couple of you already but, has the SEAS section disappeared from your VTAC profile too?
Wtf, mine's not there either!? :S
-

Oh good. That means we didn't accidentally withdraw our applications. I was worried I might've done that.
-
Has everyone's SEAS section disappeared?
-
Tehe, maybe I will choose Law. :P
YES!!! VN NEEDS MORE LAW STUDENTS!!!!!!
-
I think after we put in the SEAS application, it disappears because we can't alter it anymore?
-
lolwut, you're quite slow dude lol :P. Jamison and I noticed that in like October (or Sep. can't remember exactly) that the SEAS section disappeared
-
Deakin and Melbourne are they going send anything?
-
Deakin and Melbourne are they going send anything?
Possibly not, Unless you applied for some special program with them. For example, with RMIT, the program was called SNAP, in which under-represented schools nominate 3 courses and describe in 300 words why they would be best suited to that course.
And with VU, there was something called PPP (Portfolio Partnership Program), which each of us had to make a portfolio of all of our achievements and send it over to the Uni.
I guess if you aren't involved with some sort of special program, then you don't get the offers for SEAS until results day?
-
For Melbourne, you might not receive any word until your ENTER comes out, or potentially on offers day (depends on if you want a scholarship or if you're using SEAS to get into a course altogether). I'm not sure about Deakin.
-
Out of those courses I would do one of the RMIT ones. I'm sorry to say that a law degree from VU isn't looked upon very highly while the Media/PC/Journalism are the best of their type in Victoria. Journalism is very tough at the moment for job prospects, my sister, who graduated in the top 3 of her year at RMIT, had to take a cadetship at a country newspaper as The Age didn't take any one and the Herald Sun took one, who had 3 years industry experience. Of course if Journalism is your passion then I would still take this course.

But I guess the main reason why I want the Law course is because after a year, I can transfer into any other Law course I want (provided I get good results :P). And I don't think it is entirely difficult to get good scores at Vic uni, given that you study for the necessary hours. I think my career path is chosen. :)

Congratulations Happy, what type of lawyer do you want to become?
-

Just remember that you will most likely have to repeat first year law once you transfer. I'm sure you'll get the results :)
-
Do they send you some sort of email to notify you that you got an offer?
-
Yay Happy!!!!!!!!!!!! ^_^

Most preferably, a corporate or copyright lawyer. Wanted to do criminal law before, but didn't want to get killed incase I lost a case. :S

Thanks Nina. :) I don't mind repeating, as long as I get a prestigious law degree at Monash, my career will be elevated. :)

Nope, each uni sends you a letter in the mail to notify you of the outcome (accepted or rejected).
Yay Happy!!!!!!!!!!!! ^_^
Aww, thanks Jess! :)
-

well u can pretty much tell that you will get offer from the enter u get and then after like i dunno a few weeks they send u like an enrolment pack with all the info...
-

lol, interesting reason for avoiding criminal law.
That's kind of like saying, "I don't want to do immunology medicine just in case I have to take blood from a patient with AIDS, and then accidentally jab the needle into myself afterwards and contract the AIDS..."
:P

Hehe... :) But I've had an interest in copyright law for some time now... Like Cadbury and Darrel Lea... The colour purple; this is what I'm interested in. :D

i dont like law much. sorry to all you people passionate about it, but that profession wouldnt fullfill me and my direction in life. the money sounds awesome, but oh well. ill be a poor nurse :)
-

It's good you're doing something you like for something other than money. ;)
-
:) yay.
i will bring life into the world every day.
-
... And save many others! :D
-

:D
You sound like me. I'd rather be doing something I love (working in health care) and earning a lower wage, than doing something that I hate and earning quite a lot.
-
its not that i hate law. i jut wouldnt find it particually fllfilling to be helping criminals with their lives when i could be saving people and making a difference to lives in a lasting and rewarding way.
-
Yeah, not all lawyers earn big bucks ya know. I want to go into human rights law. Definitely not gonna be earning a 6 figure salary there. Also quite a fulfilling job. :)
-
its not that i hate law. i jut wouldnt find it particually fllfilling to be helping criminals with their lives when i could be saving people and making a difference to lives in a lasting and rewarding way.
Yeah. Well, criminal law is only one aspect of law.
Also in Nursing, you will have to help EVERYONE who comes into your ward and is assigned under your care. You will need to care for a diverse range of individuals, including criminals, and people who aren't at all appreciative of your care.
But yeah, overall Nursing is a highly rewarding and interesting career.
-

Ooh, my boyfriend wants to do human rights law too :)
I meant in general when I said "I'd rather be doing something I love than something I hate with a high salary." I didn't mean law specifically. I probably wouldn't mind some aspects of it at all.
-
If I did law I think I would only do commercial law lol. MONEYY
-

doing law doesn't necessarily have to be about helping criminals

what law course are you planning to do at vic uni? just straight law?
i might have to go down a similar path if i don't get 95 for ANU.

i am aware of that you can go into family law and all that jazz. however, everyone is fighting. your only there to argue their problems and uphold laws that i personally believe are both corrupt and bias. i would rather aide those in need by providing them with the best medical attention i can offer.
-
What about fighting for the basic human rights of an oppressed minority?
Or the maintenance of international law to prevent armed conflict and therefore countless civilian deaths?
Or putting a paedophilic rapist in jail?
What about the protection of a worker's right to compensation due to negligence on the part of the employer to provide a safe working environment?
What about those lawyers working in community legal centers for free, helping out those who can't afford to seek legal help?
Contrary to popular perception, lawyers "aid those in need" as much as those in the medical industry do.
-
^^yeah, that
it annoys me how so many people stereotype lawyers as people who help criminals, including my family -_-
-
yeah you guys are totally right. i guess my perception is rather narrow. i dunno. i hear "lawyer" and automatically think tireless work for unappreciative clients. to me, it doesnt seem like a profession whose ultimite goal is to help. but then again that contradicts your family rights and protecting abused parties. being a lawyer is rewarding. hmph. i suck! i need to go die in a fire.

It's just a straight law degree, but I want to major in either corporate or copyright law. :D
Hehe Ninwa, good points on law, I'm planning actually, to do 1 or 2 years of my time at Legal Aid, and help underprivileged people with their cases (may even go pro-bono publico, not too sure yet), just to feel better about my career and not jib people out of money (although my ultimate aim is to be a well respected lawyer with whom anyone can feel free to come to to solve disputes :)).
@ Shona: If you lit that fire, I would put it out! You are SO much better than that. :)

hmm well, if you want to do law at monash, wouldn't it be better to do some course over there and then transfer? i thought internal transfers were easier compared to transferring from another uni.

Enjoy. :)

Hey,
I was reading all these posts under special consideration. I haven't got any offers or received any kind of communication regarding this. I am wondering what happened with my application. I applied for special consideration ( sick with appropriate medical and school covering certificates) to Mou.
How do I know that they are going to consider my application? Does anybody know it will come before or after the first offer? I heard you won't hear anything until your results out.

These offers are only applicable to Disadvantaged schools (category 7) and special schemes like SNAP or other ones at different universities.
Special consideration does not give you an early offer, but when it comes to universities looking at your score if you're in the middle band, they might accept you based on how bad your situation was.

Do you get some sort of letter from whoever deals with the SEAS apps to let you know they got your application?

I did mine with the school, so I don't really know? But I never got a confirmation thingy for SEAS if that's what you're asking?
