Go to http://www.atarcalculator.com.au/ - that will give you an estimate (but it's not a pretty sight).

The combo will also determine the cost - you can't just add an extra year's cost of a single degree : eg a BScience / BCommerce -the commerce courses cost more than twice that of science courses as the latter are considered national priorities (and we don't need any more bankers/economists :) ).

^ +1 If you want to use it, do as my son did - just mention on your cv that you were "invited to apply" - that has all the implications that it has some sort of prestige (it doesn't really - anyone on a credit av can get in) and that they wanted you : and all without you having to spend a...

Where do you live? There is a very direct rail line to UOW, the required ATAR is the same (90), they offer early entry & there is a non-comb UG LLB degree of 4 yrs. I must admit that I have little time for the GUG as it is a commercial concern so .... though I hate to be that cynical. Actually...

Only Medicine, Nursing & Education are CSP.

Science is classified a national priority & these courses receive the greatest subsidy from the govt. Go here to see how they work it all out for csps: http://www.goingtouni.gov.au/Main/FeesLoansAndScholarships/Undergraduate/CommonwealthSupportForYourPlaceAndHECS-HELP/WhatYouPay.htm -...

You should have your assessment ranks now for each subject - how did you go (and have a stab at what raw marks you think you may have scored in the externals). Also, are your cohorts strong or weak (this will have a bearing on the impact they will have on your final mark, depending upon your...

To enoilgam: This is a very good question - why reject a csp in favour of a full fee-paying place @ an institution that hardly anyone has ever heard of? Please believe me, I mean no malice or smugness by this question, I'm just really intrigued - there isn't even a tertiary forum for UNDA on...

Actually it would have made no difference to her if you had have been ranked 2nd as her exam mark was, as you said, 94 & the highest exam mark (yours @ 96) would have been given to her as her assessment mark - this still averages to a HSC mark of 95 which is what she got anyway. Depending on...

What school do you teach at?

It depends if you think it was on a difficulty par with the 2009 paper which had a cut-off of around 81-82 (2010's was lower @ about 75). You're the teacher - how do you think it rated against 2009?

It would depend on the subjects, which ones were high b4s etc but it doesn't look too flash. Have a play with an atar calculator - the einstein one is probably the most accurate : http://www.atarcalculator.com.au/ - it will give you some idea. I just realised the b1 is in English - that...

Too bloody old!!! I was born in 1960, sat the HSC in 1977 (100% exam in those days), met my husband in 1978, was a radical & activist in the late 70's & 80's including being a regular patron of punk gigs & demos, travelled through Africa in a Land Rover in the late 80s then became a mum in...

Thanks omni - I wish you luck too.

I used to surf - hence the username (I use it for everything and picked it about 12 years ago when names like "surfchick" etc were already taken). BTW: I haven't been seen in a bikini for quite some time - growing older sucks, but don't laugh as it will (as sure as there is a tomorrow) happen...

I hope you all do really well & get the ATARs you're after.

Hey!!! I'm nice :) It's a good resource that neither of my kids ever used so I do all the raw mark digging yadda yadda.....

Bachelor of Digital Media @ COFA UNSW (last year's cut-off was something like 86.3 so we know he'll get in easily; it would be nice for him to go in as a COFA scholar though & have a mentor as they get to do extended stuff. Existing UGs have to score a High Distinction WAM across an entire year...

We're skint but if he gets 99+ then we'll let him choose the reward; he's not a greedy kid by any stretch of the imagination so I know any request will be within our budget :) PS We picked 99 as this will secure a place in his faculty's scholar programme - ($1k plus a staff mentor for the year).

That's pretty much our attitude toward our kids as well. At the moment I just try to keep my youngest (& last HSCer) motivated as after 12:30pm tomorrow it will all be over. We could never be disappointed in him only sympathise if he is disappointed in himself - after all, that's the person he...
