every uni is fully accredited thats a given. but some are better quality do u beg to differ? sure u can get a job if u graduated from UNCLE, but ur chances of getting the top starting jobs are diminshed compared to some1 from usyd. employers have certain prejudices/assumptions of different unis and rightly so. some are better than others.

The point is--Torts is Torts is Torts. Doesn't matter where you do it, a law degree is a pretty stock standard product. I'd wager that the main differences between unis are more to do with peripheral matters than the actual core courses.

How did you get into med school without understanding how the UAI system works? It's supply and demand. Uni choice depends on a lot more than perceived prestige of the various institutions--especially in Aus., where we don't really have as much of a culture of going interstate to go to uni as in the US, for example. Check out my own alma mater--ANU is a top notch uni, but it's also in Canberra.* The fact is that Canberra is an area of small population, that many are unwilling to locate to our fine city, most interstate students won't have friends going there, it's cold, Canberra is overly expensive, etc. etc. etc. All these are factors that affect a kid's choice of university education.
In any case, even if UAI was simply a reflection of the perceived quality of education provided by a given institution, it would not necessarily be accurate. What do yr 12 students really know about the quality of various courses at various institutions?
*NB: ANU sets its cut-offs itself, so it's a tad different. Still, the logic of my point holds true.
