Don't stress, they hardly ever check similarity (unless it's like 50% or more) and if you're discussing a common topic, then your'e bound to have a high similarity.

Say I got an 82.60 overall on all my assessments (by the coordinators method), would this get rounded up or down (assuming no scaling is occurring)?

Pretty sure the rule is up unless it's on a grade border.

Has anyone done UNIB2008: Drugs That Shape Society? There aren't too many reviews on that subject at the moment

Anyone have applied for jobs with a bachelor of science (engineering) ? or is that impossible. I've given up on postgrad study and wish to get into the workforce as soon as possible preferably technical positions in banks. Would a bachelors be sufficient ?

Yeah it's absolutely possible, know plenty of friends with just a BSci who've secured top-tier jobs.

What is more important is your WAM (65+ min, 70+ for a reasonably competitive app) and your ECs (extra-curriculars that you've pursued in uni). Also existing work experience is an added bonus

Thank you!, what kind of jobs did they apply for ? Obviously Engineering jobs are out of the question right?

No, I know the odd one or two who managed to land engineering jobs, albeit we're talking easily 90+ WAM here and rockstar performers, the vast majority would have studied their masters. 
Other options include Big 4 banks, Big 4 accounting firms, management consulting, investment banking...

With a science degree these days the world really is your oyster

Not really imo. A BSc by itself is pretty useless for most of the part...

I think he meant a bachelor of science + decent wam + relevant work experience/extra curricular can land you a decent job. But for engineering job you generally need postgraduate.

Can you elaborate on this? And would you think a bachelor of engineering at Monash would be sufficient for an engineering job or do people generally have to do a masters?

I think Monash is fine as long as you got the engineering accreditation from your degree. But I know for Melbourne you need the Masters to get your accreditation.Bachelor of Science (major in electrical/civil/mechanical) etc, is generally insufficient .

Have friends with BSc who've landed 100k+ grad roles at Google, Atlassian, McKinsey, BCG, Goldman Sachs, probably at a higher success rate than my BCom friends, but I guess it depends on what you define as 'useful'

haha i can only imagine what wam + extra curricular they must have done to land those ! But i didnt know you could get grad roles with a bachelor of science, they must be exceptional.

Exactly. One of the reasons I'm taking Comp sci(apart from that I like it) is because my BSc(Advanced) is pretty useless by itself. If I wanted to go into research I would 100% need a Phd. I don't know of anyone who would hire me based on the sole fact that of having a degree in Physics..
