ATAR cut offs scaring anyone else? (2 Viewers)

[chakibu]

I was reading all the cut offs at work yesterday, and found that Combined Law at USYD has gone up from 99.55 to 99.65. I though 99.55 was difficult enough, personally. Does anyone else have to re-evaluate whether or not they can actually put in the required work to get into the course they want at uni?

Although, maybe I'm thinking a bit far ahead, I mean, we're only going into year eleven now...

Not really, since I'm not aiming for anything super-high. But I have friends who were freaking out about the combined law cutoffs for USYD and UNSW [99.55]. My cousin was going for those but she missed out by .15/.05, which does scare me a little.

Haha, you've still got two years to go. No need to worry [yet]

Can you send me the link? (if there is one) Where did you read it? I've been trying to find them.

For me, it's gotten easier.

B Advanced Mathematics [UoW] : 90.80 --> 90.00
B Science (Advanced Mathematics) [UNSW] : 95.50 --> 96.40
B Science (Advanced Mathematics) [USyd] : 99.15 --> 98.00

Yeee.

 

[santiii]

Yes! I think people need to stop getting smarter!

Have you thought that maybe its because they changed from UAI to ATAR therefore its a tiny bit higher ?
Thats why you see most ATAR cut off is higher this year to adjust them to equal UAI. Anywhoo i am a bit scared, its seems that Laws at Macquarie and ANU are going up every year. Laws@ANU shot up an unholy one full ATAR score. =[ And 95 is already scary.

LOL damn! Take a gap year. Just kidding. I wouldn't take one, then I'd lose my study habits and never want to go to uni.

Not for all courses though. For combined law at USYD & UNSW, they said during Info Day that the UAI to ATAR conversion was not going to affect the cut-off for law at all.
There's just more demand for the course D=
By smarter people D=

I'm scared D=
But you '11ers shouldn't be. I mean, we can all see how much things can change in a year. Maybe all the cut offs will be incredibly low by the time you guys hit year 12 (=

I'm not going to take a gap year, the length from December to March when uni starts is gap enough!

 

[klaris]

December till March?

On second thought, I might not take a gap year.

 

[klaris]

You've been watching your friend's American TV shows again, Cecily?

 

[Shadowdude]

Well, you have November as HSC time then you have December, January and February doing nothing as I believe March is the time when University starts.

 

[klaris]

That's heaps long, which is good. I think I may work during break, save some money.

 

[klaris]

Oh. I see.
