The first steps on the quest for knowledge

等待大学录取的HSC考生们将面对着兴奋或者担心的一周，因为他们本周将最终决定他们将来想要的职业目标和能够帮助达成这一目标的大学专业选择。

到本周五截至，学生们将最终确定他们填报的第一志愿，而大学的首轮录取将在1月16日发榜。

为了不让决定志愿那么为难，新州的各大学都会举办信息开发日活动（Information Day）来帮助学生们收集信息、估量下自己的专业选择并让他们来校园实际感受下将来几年中学习的地方。

新南威尔士大学的招生负责人Steve Sumter说,现在考生们都有了自己的ATAR成绩，他们已经知道了什么样的专业和学位他们可以选。

有些学生因为获得了比预期更高的ATAR成绩而在专业/大学上面多了一些选择，而同时也有些同学发挥不佳ATAR比预期的低而失去了原本的专业选择资格。有些人可能需要一些更多的信息了解才能最终下决定。

Sumter说：“很多次我们听到人们说，‘完了，我去不了我想要的专业/大学了’，但是有很多事情你可以做的，这就是为什么我们在这里帮助你的原因。”“我们能够协助指导你如何去你想要去的专业/大学，并不是一切都完了。”

悉尼科技大学信息开放日的组织者Janice Ly说，开放日活动对于那些不知道自己还有其他选择的学生来说是极其有用的。

她说大学录取的各种方案能够增加一个学生申请的选择，即使那些主要方式已经用尽，仍然还有很多种途径让一个学生去学他想要学的专业。

Ly说：“如果来大学的信息开放日，学生们可以得到一对一的专业选择和其他方案额指导，这些活动能够避免学生们对于自己心仪的专业向隅。

麦考利大学信息开放日的组织者之一Raewyn Burden建议，学生们可以先看一下大学的网站安排下开放日一天的行程，确定要求的专业课程的信息开发时段，余下的时间可以逛逛大学。

大部分大学提供各学院的信息会、一对一的学术指导、校园参观和免费食物，大学在读学生、学者和大学支持员工都会在第一线回答学生们的问题，这些问题包括专业里需要读哪些课程、交换生计划的详情、住宿、其他入学选择、学费和大学生活等等。
