Wait Richard Buckland did that as wel??

I took 1511 last sem - I didn't do 1917 when I was in first year :P
Still unsure right now, but originally planned on AI

Yeah, worked as an actuarial consultant for a bit before he was like, what the hell am I doing. Decided actuarial wasn't for him and went into computing. He always likes to make jokes about his time in actuarial/ management.

And ah, very nice :)

Now that you mention it I think I've heard that somewhere before...

I mean, if triple degrees were a realistic thing I might've kept actuarial anyway. Why wouldn't I claim a bunch of business skills right? Only question is whether or not I would've done that or went to finance instead

Yeah haha, but you'd be studying at Uni for like infinity and beyond :p

Out of curiosity what was the deal-breaker that made you choose to opt out of actuarial?

Hey fam. Further to the enrolment appointment post I made a few days ago, I advise you to now go on myUNSW again and into your Student Profile. Here, click "Update Your Enrolment" and confirm all of your personal details. Doing this now will save you an extra minute (or three if there's lag) when the time comes for your enrolment appointment to begin.

Actually so salty at UNSW. Got my offer yesterday, tried to accept and enrol, but MyUNSW crashed, and I got an internal server error. 3 hours on the phone later, I find out I have to wait til the 2nd of Jan at the earliest to be able to accept and enrol. Really annoyed as there were some specific seminars/tutorials I wanted to enrol in based of recommendations, but its look like I'll be unable to.

What exactly are you missing to be able to enrol and timetable right now? Or is it that your access has been somehow blocked? :)

I'm a bit lost with all this enrolment for classes. Do you just register classes for only Term 1 and do Term 2 and 3 later or do you register all your classes in one go?

Also, I've registered for 3 classes in Term 1 but when I checked my timetable again there's suddenly a clash between ENGG1000 and MATH1131 so I'm a bit confused -_-
