Hi! I currently got an early conditional offer from Notre Dame, Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Laws. I’m not too fond of the university because of the small social life and its reputation (From what I’ve heard). I’m thinking about swapping to MQ but I’m unsure if it’ll be easy because the WAM might be pretty high for me to even be considered. Does anyone know the average WAM to be considered for swapping to MQ after a year of studies at Notre Dame?

+ Another question! My offer says for me to complete Year 12 (done) and do my HSC, be an ATAR-Track student and receive an ATAR, although it doesn’t mention a required ATAR. I’m stressed out about the fact that if I get a mystery mark they might not even accept me as I don’t meet the condition requirements. It doesn’t say anything else for the Young Achievers Program, that’s all I got.

If anyone has done Law in MQ or even Notre Dame can you let me know how it is in both universities?

Currently in the midst of my HSC exams and I’m just overthinking and stressing, I feel like I’m going to get a mystery mark, I completely bombed my english exams and math is next to come..

Hello, i am going to be a law and arts student at Western Sydney Uni for 2027. I always wanted to transfer to other higher ranking unis based in Sydney, such as MQ, UTS, and UNSW. Recently, ive heard that there are stories of people successfully receiving an offer for year 1 semester for MQ law, which gives me a chance to transfer early rather than waiting for a year at WSU.

Here are my questions for law students who have transferred to MQ, UTS and UNSW:

1. What WAM did you get when you successfully transfered?

2. Do all your year 1 subjects get credit? If so, what subjects did yall chose?

3. Should I js stay at WSU for a year, so I could have a better chance at transferring to UTS or UNSW? (My atar is 88-89)

4. How is MQ law?

Guys I’m trying to aim for distinctions/high distinctions but I feel like there is a key step I’m missing. Since most of my assessments are essays or presentations I find it kinda hard to see what criteria I’m meeting in the rubric because the rubric can be kinda vague. I compared one of my reflections assessments with a friend who got 89% while I got 78% despite us clearly have the same quality of work. It doesn’t help that we don’t get many exemplars of high distinctions to learn from either. If anyone has resources or anything that I can learn to distinguish a credit from a distinction/high distinction it would be greatly appreciated.

Note: idgaf about ‘no one cares about grades’ or whatever I just want to get good grades ok

Hello!
Just started year 12 and have gotten my preliminary results back and they were pretty bad. Just wondering if I’ve still got a shot at getting early entry for a Bachelor in Secondary Teaching. Marks are:
Religion: 49%
Biology: 49%
Ancient History: 52%
Modern History: 52%
Textiles: 63%
English Standard: 77%
All my other assessments all year have been good with an average 75-90% across all classes, it’s just for some reason prelims really got me 😅
Any advice would be appreciated 😊

Hi. I have had a special consideration but I was delayed by 10 days to submit it due to the incidents that was happening in my life. What do I do now? I'm confused.

Hey guys with the finals coming up

What’s the best way to study for these and if you have already done these units and have gotten amazing marks, pls share what you did. Much appreciated

Thank you

is ilearn down for anyone at the moment?

Has anyone here done the interview for Macquarie University's 2+4 Doctor of Medicine pathway? I'd appreciate any insight into the interview format, the types of questions asked, and how best to prepare.

I'd also love to hear from current students or graduates about their experience with the medicine pathway, the quality of teaching and clinical placements, and whether they feel it's worth pursuing, especially as an international student.

Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Has anyone taken this before? What is the workload like? I would like to improve my grammar/sentence skills before I start doing my 2nd year English subjects in 2027, but I would also like to enjoy my Christmas holidays, so I was wondering how many hours weekly this subject would take up.

Hi! If there are any mq buddies here, can you tell us about what you guys do? What the joining process is like etc? Thanks!

hi guys,

unfortunately my ATAR is not likely to turn out great due to various problems i've dealt with throughout the year. however i'm not dwelling on it because i'm turning a new leaf in uni, so just sketching out the plan ahead. i want to do a bachelor of history but my early entry offer is for education. my understanding is i can transfer after a semester- for people who have transferred courses, are there any difficulties i should be aware of/plan for?

thank youu

I have a friend in the US, and we’ve never met in person but we spoke about her coming here for a semester, however I don’t know the policy of service animals as she has a dog for anxiety. Are service animals exempt from the no pets rule? Or would she need to get accommodation elsewhere.

Hi everyone,

I am incoming masters student. Initially I applied for master by coursework and got the offer but also got the professor’s acceptance recently but I can’t seem to submit another application (master of research). I am unable to login and cannot reset password. Have contacted the admissions office, GRA and IT support but all in vain. They redirect me to other persons or just send a vague reply.

Can anyone advise me what to do? Anyone faced similar situation?

Thank you!

my flexi unit this sem has an online exam, im not quite sure how they work as i’ve only done written in person exams. a few sections of it require long answers which id feel comfortable making a draft of either on paper or on a doc. is that allowed or is the tab locked?/not allowed to write on paper?

I was wondering if anyone from MQ had done a semester exchange program or even a summer school program. If so, what was your experience like, how was the process and how long was it, did the university help you while applying, and overall would you recommend it. I want to go the USA, but any other country you may have gone too is completely fine.

If you did, what were your thoughts on the program?

I would like to hear your perspectives on:

- How you found the mentors and if they helped you envision a clearer career path.

- It's ability to balance your other extracurriculars and studies.

Finally, what are your tips in getting selected for the program?

Thanks for reading!

Hey just wondering how is Macquarie as a university as I’ve not really looked into it that much and start in January.

Is there any tips of classes I should take as I would be a 3rd year for the easiest courses to take and what should i expect study wise.

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated and if anyone would want to hangout once I get here is more than welcome.

Hey guys,

I just wanted to gauge interest to see if people wanted to start a book club at Macquarie. I know there is an IG for one already but I am trying to DM them and see if I can start up some events, but alas no reply. DM me or comment here if you're interested. I'd like to do monthly book club meetings, and there's no specific genre; I'm open to most books!

Does anyone else have the subject "Evidence based practice in health"

It just seems wild to me that almost all of the resources are AI generated and there is severely limited engagement with the lecturers. For Macquarie to have such a large cohort since doing the pure online learning and have the same funding, if not even more, then off loading the work to AI is pretty abhorrent. All of my work this week is made by Ai with apparently some human input and no lectures or weekly forums. For a core unit of my degree it just seems like gross behaviour. 

I have contacted my lecturer and they just seem to say we will consider your criticism. This unit has over 500 students and with that much funding I find it hard to accept that I don't deserve to receive some real time engagement with my learning, EVEN WITH OTHER STUDENTS. But this subject doesn't have places within the unit resources to communicate with anyone.

Maybe I am alone in this experience? I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance.

Anyone else running into issues with the BULLSHIT mess for electives?

I’m honestly so over Macquarie’s admin at this point.

I’m an OUA psychology student with only 4 subjects left, and I’ve spent most of this year trying to work out what I actually need to graduate because the course structure keeps changing.

The old elective options have been rested, the new replacements aren’t available to OUA students even though they’re online, and I’ve now basically been told I may need to go find an external subject myself and apply for credit.

On top of that, a subject that was listed as an elective in my handbook is apparently now being treated as core.

I’m trying to graduate next year and move into Honours, so I need an actual plan — not “wait and see”, “find something elsewhere”, or contradictory advice depending on who answers.

At what point is it reasonable to expect the university to actually manage its own course changes and give continuing students a clear pathway to finish?

ALSO

the reasons im still an OUA student and paying ridiculous fee's is because of this mess, I couldn't transfer into internal without needing to redo a whole damn year. ????!!!???!?!?!?!?! agh
