Commerce-->masters of eng @ melb OR com/eng @ monash?

[MjM2]

I'm having serious issues in choosing whether to go to Melbourne and do a commerce degree followed by a Masters of engineer, or the commerce/engineering double at Monash. 

One of the big sticking points with the Melbourne path is whether I have to choose an engineering disciple to major in when I enroll, or if I get a general first year and choose second. Does anyone know the answer to this? Contacted UoM and they've given me vague and contradictory answers. I really don't want to choose which engineering to major in,as I can pretty much see myself doing any of the majors offered.   

Also, any idea of how hard it will be to get into the masters of engineering? Because for me, there is no point in my going to UoM if I don't get into the Masters with a CSP place (got an enter of 94.xx so I already fail on one of the apparent guide lines being a 95+ enter and 65% in last 2 years).

Is it possible to complete a engineering degree at Monash, and then go to Melbourne to complete the Masters with a CSP place? Or if that happens, it will be full fee?

Also with the Monash pathway, is there any opportunity for me to do postgrad commerce/engineering  study at Monash with a CSP place ?

And lastly, How many majors can I do in the commerce component in commerce/engineering @ Monash?

I realize none of this might even matter with my enter, but I have to put something for a first preference

Monash ---> higher reputation in eng
UoM ----> higher reputation in commerce

Monash ---> higher reputation in eng
UoM ----> higher reputation in commerce

Dunno if this will help, but meh...

I'm doing the Masters of Engineering through the Commerce pathway. Majoring in Finance (maybe plus economics) and Chemical Engineering.

First year at UoM you do not have to choose your engineering major straight away. After your first year, you are required to do a summer semester. This is the time when you must choose your engineering major. If you didn't get the 95 required, I think acceptance into the course will be along the same lines as our year. That is, the university takes into account your second and third year subjects (whether the subjects are from both commerce and engineering, or engineering alone, I am unsure), and the remaining spots that have not been fulfilled by the 95+ers will be given to the students with the highest averages.

I think it would be a lot harder to transfer from Monash to Melbourne, after completing a Bachelor of Eng compared to an internal transfer within UoM.

Also keep in mind that you cannot do an Accounting Major within the commerce degree with a Masters of Eng.
