I got uai of 67.95....i need a uai of 78.05 to get course i want...but even with 10 EAS bonus points i only get 77.95 considered...does that mean it is impossible for me to get into the course with the uai i have?

It depends on the university, hopefully the uai goes down slightly due to the abolishment of full fee places. You might want to contact the universities admissions department, some review EAS applicant's individually, etc.

You should have just done more work.

no, not impossible you could still get a late round offer.

the entrance requirements may lower slightly which is quite possible given the size of this years candidature.

at the end of the day you're one of the ones who will have to wait around with it hanging on your mind until January when the course offers are out.

i couldn't have done more work =( for the examinations anyway...the internals...maybe...but i had been distracted...=( which is really gay.

So i'm content with results, but not content with UAI.

---

would writing a formal letter the the uni with the course, saying, i really want to be able to do that course for its location and because it's what i want to do in life etc... do anything?

you could have, stop trying to justify your situation by sidelining the blame.

fyi, u don't know about my situation...i've been moderately deaf in both ears my whole life, that means i've had to put all my effort into reading textbooks, because, hearing teachers could be unreliable, i may miss words. i've been subject to bullying, people screaming in my ear like i'm can't hear what they are saying....when i really young, i had a speech impediment, and couldn't say words with r's or s's according to my mum.

i know i could've put more work into internal assessments (school work).

i appreciate you saying this:

Wow, what a cheery thread. I'd try anything - such as writing letters to Uni's - to try and gain entry to your course, if you're really set on it. Best of luck..

meningitis at 18 months old. completely regressed (had to learn to walk, crawl, chew all over again). supposed learning difficulties. moderate deafness in both ears (it's rather substantial in one). have not ever complained about it.

i cbb to go over my whole medical record, i had many more problems like breathing difficulties (bronchitis) etc. but yeah, disadvantages early in life/throughout life suck =( but i try not to complain, its just 0.10 uai could mean the difference between me getting in the course or not and i'm worried!

at the same time, i feel what others with disadvantages are going through!

---

i can already get into the UWS courses i would want with EAS (if they use it)...but it's not UWS i want to go to...it's UTS...does UTS consider EAS??? or not. cos if not i have no chance...

just wait it out man, but in the mean time feel free to pursue whatever you feel will help (write letters what not) the worst they'll do is ignore them which only takes you back to where you are now.

I know someone who had 71.75 and got into a course with cut off 80 - without bonus points. She thinks its because she got 4 band 5's in subjects relevant to the course she wanted to do. If the uni can't fill all places for a course, they look at other candidates' actual HSC marks per subject. Put your course in as first preference, you may be surprised. AND the cut-off may be lower this year for that course.

A few universities do this with a select few courses only. This is something that you really must discuss with the uni in relation to the particular course you want to do.
