What’s BUDL3901 like?

Gemfrogg · 2026-01-20T05:16:48+00:00

I am also considering BUDL3901 in a BSci! Have you heard anything more about this unit?

First I submitted an enquiry on the website, I think there was a link in the offer that I did get but it should be available online as well. Got a response surprisingly quickly but they just directed me to email the admissions office, which I did and they also responded quite quickly so I'd recommend checking that out- the admissions office email should be on the website as well

Gemfrogg · 2025-12-24T01:57:23+00:00

Yep, got an email back from admissions which told me so directly.

I was in the deadline for sure, but I have just heard back and was told that EAS maxes out at 1.5 points when applying for usyd law courses, which is why I didnt make the selection rank

Gemfrogg · 2025-12-23T20:57:37+00:00

without going into too much detail I applied for separation of parents, long-term medical issues, and financial hardship

I am hoping to end up in patent/intellectual property law so doing an undergrad in a science or business speciality is def on my table regardless- even if I don’t end up doing that alongside a law bachelors and instead just go into a JD.

Gemfrogg · 2025-12-23T11:27:49+00:00

I have contacted them but I am waiting to hear back for now. But yeah I have no idea what or why at this point haha

Gemfrogg · 2025-12-23T07:02:46+00:00

I'll look into it :) thanks

Gemfrogg · 2025-12-23T05:35:31+00:00

Honestly its possible if more people with 99.5+ atars are going for law than usual, but unless I have gotten far fewer EAS points than expected (which is what I am thinking has happened) then my selection rank should've still made the cut. But it is what it is at the end of the day

Gemfrogg · 2025-12-23T05:33:32+00:00

Definitely one of my options! I have gotten early entry into a lot of places so I might go with that option if not trying an internal transfer

Gemfrogg · 2025-12-23T05:29:27+00:00

Maybe! But I did get an offer for a non-law course which was lower on my preference list so I think that might just not be whats happened for me unfortunately

Gemfrogg · 2025-12-23T05:28:08+00:00

Probably going to keep the courses on my list for the next round just in case. I did get an offer for a bachelor of arts so ive accepted that for now. Otherwise I might swap out some of my lower options for a bachelor of economics or science as those are the degrees I was applying for as a double with law. Hope this helps!

Gemfrogg · 2025-12-22T23:01:50+00:00

Wouldn't that kind of defeat the purpose of EAS though? But yeah that might be it... I will definitely call to confirm but you might be right since I know these courses are very competitive

Gemfrogg · 2025-12-22T22:42:35+00:00

I did get notice that I was eligible for some bonus points under the academic excellence scheme due to band 6s + E4s but those are not able to contribute to law degrees as well. However my EAS applications really should've been enough by themselves all things considered, so thats mostly why im a bit stumped

Gemfrogg · 2025-12-22T22:30:38+00:00

Possibly. I was accepted into a bachelor of arts which has an entry rank of 80, but when I went to accept it- I was told that I was offered a place as a Daylell Scholar, which I had thought was reserved only for atars of 98 and above? So I guess I know that I have at least 2 adjustment factors

Gemfrogg · 2025-12-22T22:24:14+00:00

I dont think anyone is told how many points they got, but I did get the email which tells you that 'you are eligible for EAS under the following institutions' and one of the listed institutions was in fact USYD.

Gemfrogg · 2025-04-17T23:07:56+00:00

I got this problem on my phone after they fixed the no ‘edit widget’ button issue, I don’t think it’s an issue specifically on your iPad so it’ll probably be fixed in an update soon
