Welcome to the final issue of Prospects for 2007.
In this issue we have information on why some cut-off scores might be lower in 2008, we celebrate the achievements of UWA students on the international sporting scene, and outline how to get involved in the social side of University life.
Best of luck to all year 12s for your TEE Exams, and don't forget - if your results are not what you expected, then come and talk to us at the TEE Advice Day, to be held at Notre Dame University on Thursday 3rd January.
We are always looking for ways to improve Prospects so please let us know what articles you would like to see in 2008 at prospects@uwa.edu.au
