clearly-in enter for arts/law 2011

[joocoobpootooloo]

hey guys,

i'm just curious regarding what you think the clearly-in ATAR for monash arts law is going to be for 2011? In past years its been in the low 99 range it seems, but for 2009 and 2010 it went down to lowish 98.xx Is it likely to stay in the 98-98.5 range or jump back up to 99 for next year?

umm... Law and Arts are both getting competitive.... and it's realy going to be harder to get into especially at Monash. However you can do Arts at Melbourne the clearly in for Arts at Melbourne is 89.00 which I'm planning on doing, then after you're three years bachelor degree transfer straight to Melbourne JD (juris Doctor) which is a internationally recognised Law post-graduate degree, which would take another 3 years.. Then you're finished!

I was under the impression Arts/Law dropped due to the abolishment of Full Fee places..? I'm not sure though.

[Abdi]

at which uni? Monash.... I think so. I don't know about melbourne though!

[joocoobpootooloo]

i thought about going to melbourne and trying my luck with the JD, but if you dont get into the JD you've kinda run out of options...

I was under the impression Arts/Law dropped due to the abolishment of Full Fee places..? I'm not sure though.

Wow they completely abolished full fee places? :S
that does explain why it dropped by a fair bit then..

[Abdi]

well.... LOOK! you can do a normal arts degree at any university! then take the LSAT.... from there you can transfer to Melbourne Jd without no barriers, or alternativley you can go deakin and do aw there, then do the Deakin law schools admissions test and then transfer to Melbourne!

[joocoobpootooloo]

but the fact is if you dont get into the JD you're pretty much stuffed... i reckon i could pull a 98-98.5, but 99 seems wayy out of reach

Picking on the technicalities, it's not really a transfer, it's a graduate course. You have to complete your Bachelor degree first.

You could always apply to another university/another course.

there are other graduate law programs eg. La Trobe, Monash

[Abdi]

No! some uni's don't actually look at you're LSAT mark..... it's just there as one of the requirements as a formality!

dude good stuff 98.5 wow..... you could easily get into Law at ANU with a scholarship man..... or just do arts at melb.. kill it in you're first/second year then do the Lsat( who cares if you don't do good in it) in the end you're marks from 1 and 2nd year of Arts is what matters.

[joocoobpootooloo]

does the monash JD have CSP places?
