I would just apply for the PPE and transfer in if all else failed.  Either that, or contact the university directly.

Thanks.

I called up ANU and wow everyone I spoke to was so nice. I really hope I end up there. Not sure if I would prefer the PPE/JD over medicine, though.

The PPE/JD just isn't up on the UAC yet but it should be up in a couple of days.

Predicted clearly-in ATAR of just over 96.

It's on the UAC list now. Just made it #1 preference... as for the cut off, I found this reassuring quote:

"Additional information: This is an elite degree and is expected to have an ATAR requirement of 96."

I hope they're right! Or they could just mean a minimum ATAR of 96, with the cuttoff being higher... I don't know how NSW works

Thanks for letting me know! Just checked it out on the UAC.

In the course duration section, it says 3F/6P. I'm assuming this is the PPE itself. Would the JD still be a 4 year course ontop?

Is there going to be a minimum score requirement to continue to the JD or do you just need to pass and graduate from the PPE?

You need a 65% average, and JD is three years on top of the PPE.

As long as I put in a good amount of effort (which I'm sure I will, considering its in Canberra), is a 65% average easily achievable?

Piece of string, but if you can't get a 65% average then going onto a JD probably isn't the best idea. So no, it shouldn't be too hard

The BPPE single intake will be ~30 and whilst the minimum for the BPPE/JD vertical is 96 it's their counter to UoMs guaranteed pathway. With the vertical you will be able to complete it in less time as the Master's courses start in 3rd year. However, as of yesterday afternoon they could still not confirm whether or not the JD component was CSP or Fee.

Can anyone see the clearly-in being 99+ for 2013 entry for the PPE/JD?

65% average doesn't seem too difficult, but I'm not sure what to make of different marks in university, considering everyone says it's different to VCE.

Depends on how successful the marketing is. Tentatively I'd say no due to curtailed demand as a result of being in Canberra and yr12s often have trouble thinking big-picture with course choices (ie more likely to stay local, esp if there is a sandstone university nearby). 30 place is small though.

Many students have appropriately unfocused aspirations for law, international relations, trade, politics and economics etc - this qualification is near ideal for that crowd, so it really will come down to how well it is marketed.

Let's hope that it isn't marketed very well, then...

Is the 30 places applicable to the PPE/JD or the PPE only? They are separate courses under the UAC.

I'm sure most people would have considered this already, but just in case: Do check this. The difference is in the order of tens of thousands of dollars.

Probably still 30, it's just the people doing the JD bit will have the option of continuing on to study the JD
