no prerequisites, but the level of mathematics you will bu studying will be above the MM level. i.e. you'll be struggling without it [and since MM introduce some very important topics such as probability and calculus, you'll be struggling quite a bit without it]

what turned you off law?

A lecturer from Deakin came to talk about law. He kept on talking about the economic benefits of becoming a lawyer, (while I would be interested in doing public defence law), and how fabulous the money was. And I think one of his client's is Tony Mokbel, when he does international law.
So I decided I didn't want to be a greedy, heartless person like him.

But you don't have to be Rietie. You can choose to do good. I, for example, want to go into human rights and international relations law, and am keeping WELL away from commercial law, ugh.
That Deakin lecturer sure sounds like an asshat though lol, I don't blame you for getting put off ><

Is for ANU? Unlike most other unis, you don't need to have done methods for commerce. The first year econometrics course is compulsory though. It teaches the maths you need for commerce and economics and all that jazz. People who haven't done methods often struggle in that course, however...

Pretty much everyone doing law at ANU is doing it because they want to work at DFAT. Lolz.

Hmm, that's pretty much everyone who enters law says - that they'll go into non-commercial law.
But it has a looooooot of money and people can be swayed easily.

Here is my preferences with a running commentary:

1. Com/Law @ Monash Clayton---> Can't get in anyway, ENTER too high, 24 methods, bit of a joke really,
2. Com @ UoM---> Can't get in cause of methods but will arrange interview to pleade if my ENTER is good enough
3. Com/Law @ Deakin---> Can get in if I get the ENTER (if ENTER is good enough, might still take out of preferences if I decide I don't want to study at Deakin)
4. Com/Eco @ Monash Clayton---> Can't get in due to methods but will arrange interview to plead if ENTER is good enough :P
5. Com @ Monash Clayton---> Can't get in due to methods but will arrange interview to plead if ENTER is good enough :P
6. Accounting/Management @ Monash Caulfield---> WILL MOST LIKELY END UP HERE
7. Business @ Monash Caulfield ---> If I fail miserably
8 Business and Commerce/Communications @ Monash Berwick---> If I fail super miserably
9 Business and Commerce @ Monash Berwick---> MAJOR FAIL
