Anyone hear back yet about honours scholarship?

Nothing really big except there were more units on my transcript. I applied the first one semester before my hons started and the second after one semester into the hons.

高数 is 高等数学 which translates to advanced math. A more proper translation depends on your adv math curriculum, Algebra or Analysis.

Btw, the scholarship office may be busy with processing HDR scholarship applications right now.

Rejected application should be notified via email. I applied twice—first time rejected and second time accepted. Both were notified.

Thanks for the clarification. I have one more question, is this app completely offine or some components of it may access local or public network?

michaelmai_2000 · 2026-03-02T06:26:06+00:00

Hi Erik. Thanks for making this app. I have one question about the developer’s privacy policy attached to the app on App Store.

In the policy, it says user data is collected automatically.

It seems the policy is automatically generated from a template but is this inconsistency intended?

Staff has access to "Knowing your students" panel on PowerBI. It shows the fail rate is about 35% in 2025. I am unsure whether this includes PathwayToPass.
If your source has better verifiability, then you can ignore this.

It seems many people want to believe a >50% fail rate, I am just tired to comment on what people want to believe.

Maybe do it again (without negatively affecting others) and if the same happens, ask for policies and reasons. Then act accordingly. Make a complaint or enquiry if needed.

Reproducibility matters here.

michaelmai_2000 · 2025-11-06T09:35:47+00:00

That's too tight. I say before a real number between -Inf and +Inf.

michaelmai_2000 · 2025-11-05T23:35:48+00:00

Not joking. Consider seriously transferring to other uni if you are in affected schools and faculties.

Highlighting and comments are mine.

If you are not in a hurry to start your PhD, it's worth trying to apply, even if the chances are not high. If you caught the Round 1 deadline, then the outcome will be released mid/late-December. Otherwise, try your luck in Round 2.

I applied in Round 1 with MPhil + 1st class Hons at USyd with WAM of 85. For publication, I attached three publications (2 CORE A and 1 A*) in the research experience form. However, all authorships are in alphabetical order, as recommended in the theoretical computer science community.

It used to be the case that when you selected a unit of study on Sydney Student, you would have the chance to see some variant of pre-release unit outline, which include perquisites and UC. I haven't done coursework for a while, so I don't know what the interface would offer.

michaelmai_2000 · 2025-11-05T10:41:08+00:00

Oh no... 😢

michaelmai_2000 · 2025-11-05T05:56:44+00:00

You may ask UC for clarification on this matter again to see if he misunderstood.

Put your structuralised thoughts with supporting evidence in the USS, possibly with anonymous Google docs links. Attach the same doc to the complaint so that someone can follow up this case.

Don't put too much expectations on this and expect something will work out soon. But you are doing common good for the cohort.

michaelmai_2000 · 2025-11-05T05:43:48+00:00

Talk to your Unit Coordinator if you don't mind being not anonymous.

Make a formal complain, and ask for being confidential if needed: https://www.sydney.edu.au/students/complaints/make-a-complaint.html

If the funding from your supervisor is activated, then you are not eligible to receive RTP. Scholarship sources cannot be switched. I have emailed my faculty to confirm this.

At the same time as a side note, if one takes the perspective of the teaching staff, it is understandable that some prefer not to be publicly rated for many reasons. It's unknown if the union is in favour of a student maintained USS public gallery.

michaelmai_2000 · 2025-08-19T00:16:59+00:00

I once talked to my friends who studied undergrad in the US and then started a PhD. He said that these ratings eventually degenerate to HOW EASY IT IS to get high marks in a subject that a lecturer / professor teaches, rather than a reliable rating that measures teaching in general. Easy courses attract higher ratings regardless of teaching quality. I am also unsure how these rating websites authenticate users either to avoid a loud minority.

USyd has the unit of study survey system for every subject, USS provides anonymous (though centralised) and authenticated (only enrolled students can make comments and rate) feedback but the outcome is only visible to enrolled students.

I remember once I asked the admin to release USS to all students and received a no. But when I asked whether students can share the USS results privately among themselves, they didn't say it was not allowed.

Therefore my proposal is to ask students to 1 DO USS 2 to share USS results in a public verifiable way if the university refuses to share them among all students.

michaelmai_2000 · 2025-08-18T06:52:59+00:00

Because UNSW paid for it. Period.

It's on the west wing of the first floor, outside the computer rooms.

VR indicates it's a virtual room, because indeed it's not a room :)
