And these bbq, freebies, clubs and parties go on for the whole week? (24th-27th) ?
What happens on the 23rd then?

Here is the itinerary: https://orientation.unimelb.edu.au/plan/3-orientation-activities

I haven't heard anything about the 23rd. I thought we started on the 24th. I know other uni's start their 0-week on the 23rd

Don't forget college students making idiots of themselves.

Plus there will be a lot of parties so you can meet people there if you don't feel like going to O-week.

There's parties during Oweek? Wish I knew about these when I was a first year.

Do you know whether we'll be asked to show student i.d? I want to bring someone but they don't go to the uni

No it's open to anyone really

Pretty much, you really only need to show IDs when you need to be 18+ to get into a club/venue.

I heard a first year student applied for this public transport fee assistance where the amount she spent that year on pbt is repaid to her by the gov or something. Is this true...?

When are we going to be assigned a host group for orientation?

Hey guys,
What's needed for a mid year transfer to do BSc at UoM and what are the chances of getting accepted with a high ATAR above 98?
Thanks

If you do a semester of another course your ATAR becomes less relevant. You need to fulfil BSc requirements (ie 25+ in one science and Maths Methods, or Spec and Methods - or whatever, look it up on the website). If you have already completed a semester of tertiary studies you should preferably have maintained good grades and not failed anything.

Your ATAR and WAM matter equally. As many have said you need to have a WAM of at least 85+ to have a chance. YOur ATAR seems high enough to be competitive. Just work hard to get your WAM up. Good luck!

A WAM of 85+ is a bit too high....realistically it would be ~80 that would give you a good chance if it's an external transfer. Probably a bit lower if it's an internal transfer.

Just to confirm, are these the books required for the following subjects?

Chemistry 1 - Chemistry^3
Calculus 1 - University Calculus, Early Transcendentals 2e

Ok so I'm going to need a fairly high GPA alongside my ATAR but do I also need to sit the STAT? I mean the GPA and the ATAR will mean I have put so much effort already... This is for BSc@UoM and nothing else online seems to be of any help.
