I want the FFP for Juris Doctor. When i apply through VTAC for my course, i just choose the normal undergrad course (not the CSP) one right? Does anyone know whether there is something i have to do right now (as in apply) to secure that spot? Or is it a matter to be dealt with after finishing undergrad? Also, since i only scraped the cutoff (99.00) will it be harder for me to get the Full Fee Place? Asin 99.5 students will be given preference as the places are 'subject to availability'?

No, your chance of a JD place is based entirely on your university grades an the LSAT. (Unless you achieve 99.90 and get a guaranteed JD place).
This is a fact; as my mate achieved 99.85 and didnt get a CSP place the 1st time roud because he had a bad lsat score. However, given you did get 99 - you have a GUARANTEED FFP in the JD program, provided you maintain a 75 average. (Unless things have changed in the past month). I believe you also dont have to sit the lsat, unless you want to try for a csp place.

Do the PPE / Juris Doctor program at ANU or La Trobe (I think) if you don't make the cut.

Thanks for the reply man. However, do you know what the implications are behind the Full Fee places being 'subject to availability'?

likewater I assume that means there are a limited number of FFP places in the JD overall - they would need to exceed that number. They offer 100 CSP so the additional places can be FFP but there would still be a limit. I highly doubt it would ever be exceeded by guaranteed applicants though.
