"educated".
hmm uncapped universities in 2012? seems hardly fair for us now though .. plus placing larger courses due to their demand could see out the courses with smaller numbered students , since then everyone with ATARS above , lets say .. 85 will want to become engineers or architectures cause of the ease of having less competition to get into that course ..It's a flawed system using ATAR for university applications. Often, high ATAR scores won't be a reflection of how a student performs. University learning is a completely different kettle of fish to school learning. Intelligence matters, but hard work and dedication matters a lot more. I've had friends who got very high ATAR/OP/UAI's and didn't perform anywhere near as well as expected. I've also had friends who did poorly in Year 12 and got excellent marks at university, including one University Medallist (lucky bitch). It will be nice once university places are uncapped in 2012. Courses filled by demand, placing more emphasis on a students performance at university due to a larger number of potential graduates, will be better for all. I'm not sure whether ATAR will be abolished though. Maybe courses will only be available to students level e.g
Engineering available to any student with an ATAR over 80
or/
Engineering available to any student with the following scores in the following subjects
I'll be interested to see how it works.
but yeah. interesting idea .. :uhhuh:
