Hi, i recently applied for monash uni's bachelor of commerce programme, but got rejected as my previous melb u bachelor of engineering results werent up to par. i submitted them as according to the girl at the recruitment office, it wouldnt be a problem as my a levels results passed the minimum requirements.

i appealed and it got rejected as well. a little disheartened at this point as i was looking to get a fresh start in a new course, something that im sure i can do better in.

any advice as to whats the next best course of action? would trying to meet them in person help? and who should i be meeting if so?

Why not apply using ur pre-u instead?

I included my a levels results as well, but apparently yet looked only at my unimelb results, appealed and asked them to look at my a levels results instead, but got rejected.

I've gotten into taylors, instant entry, got the offer letter on the spot =.=

but yeah, my heart was set on monash.

What? You found 3 coursemates already? Man, no one is taking Engineering for the Feb intake here?

I'm not really sure, maybe you can try calling them tomorrow and see? Is it still the same course as you applied for?

What do you mean that you need 60% in your first semester? Are you joining Taylors for one semester and use that results to enter into the Bachelor of Commerce course?

Why BCom though? Why not BBusCom? I still feel more inclined to enter BBusCom since the only difference between the 2 is the core subjects of a different depth. The 10 electives meanwhile remain the same...
*
ouh yeah, its bbuscomm, basically just gotta take the same 4 subjects as all the first years from the 6 or 8 common core units. then use those results to reapply next sem into the proper full time course. meh, if i cant even get 60% i probably dont belong in uni tongue.gif

hope its not too hard though ><"

shit.. taking money and caps next sem... sounds scary... anybody wanna donate your notes to me? start studying now itself tongue.gif

also how hard is business law and introduction to financial accounting? it seems like the difficulty goes waaaaaaaaaaay up sem 2 onwards.

sem 1 seems so much tamer in comparison....

Buy the book instead. It's a very good book, simple & easy to read/understand.

i borrowed it, but like all textbooks, its a little long winded innit? XD not sure exactly which sections to focus on and which ones i'd have to memorize.

edit: also for biz law, is the books thats allowed in the law in commerce book? cos it has all the cases in it, so does that make memorizing cases kinda redundant? just gotta understand which ones are the important ones and how exactly the law works?

hard nolah haha provided you have interest in reading the business related publications like The Edge or the daily newspaper business section.
oh yeah regarding the moneycap notes its in blackboard not webdrive.regarding which to focus,focus on the Mathematics on Finance,Bon Market or is it Short term & medium term (the chapter on notes,bonds,commercial paper those, foreign exchange quite important too) funding.some of the front chapters are common sense if you got interest in finance stuffs (eg what kind of a/c bank have,what kind of loan,etc)
yes for biz law its Law in commerce (the $400 book that is very precious,misplace it there goes another $400).it maybe useful to memorise some important cases as it saves you time from flipping the textbook in exam. erm you gotta at least know what each case is about roughly and some of these cases are a MUST to quote for a certain area eg negligence Donoghue v Stevenson (dead snail case)
dont worry just ride the 'bullet train' as the law lecturer describe the course
*
hahaha thanks a lot man, at least now i have some sorta guide to follow when reading the textbook, thanks man tongue.gif
yeah have tried making reading the edge and the business section a habit, but a lack of understanding the lingo and intricacies of finance dulled my efforts to make it a habit,was hoping that this subject would give me a deeper understanding of finance and not the other way round whereby an understanding of finance would be required to do well in the subject. but hey, at least now i know i gotta start earlier an brush up on some financial knowledge ^^

yeah, my friend who's a law student was lecturing me bout the basics of the tort of negligence the other day and how business law as a whole works XD

apparently for them they only get to bring in their book that has all the statutes and have to memorize the cases(hence why i was kinda surprised that we would be allowed to bring in law in commerce)... kesian XD
