eas anyone? (3 Viewers)

what the hell, i just read through that booklet out of sheer boredom, some of it is complete bs

you can get extra points added to your entry for certain unis if you move interstate in year 11, or if you work in the family business ... big fucking deal, on either account, i did both of those things and i managed to finish school just fine

lol, so did i.

Extra points for being on YA, what a joke.

No shit, I could probably have qualified under the YA provision, having to work AND medical provisions. I think I did just fine without.


BUT, for all 10ers, apply anyway, because if everyone else is going to claim it, so should you.

lol but if youre successful..you have to go to these sessions for disadvantaged people..

that'd be kind of embarassing..if you knew u werent disadvantaged..but everyone was viewing you as one..and at the same time..if u say i only did this to get into the course i wanted..then everyone views you as an arrogant shithead..

the choice is yours LOL

does anyone know how confidential the information you give is?
as in, if you applied for reasons regarding abuse, would they be compelled to inform some higher authority?

 

[yups]

nope. i come from an abusive household and i've been through a lot but i decided i'm just going to try my very best regardless of what's going on around me .

Yeh I am. I was in hospital for about 5 weeks of yr 11 and missed prob 8 weeks all up. Plus continual illness through yr 11 and 12.

Does anyone know how many points you typically get for something like this?

It all depends... sometimes the universities allocate places to EAS applicants, others bonus points.

These points don't increase your ATAR but they increase your ranking for the course you're applying to get into.

I suggest you read the information in the link babikakez supplied.

Just a question - I know this will sound stupid, and I am so very sure I know what it is, but I can't recall what EAS stands for. Could someone help me out?

I think it means Economic Alleviation System or something but I don't know.

I'm not sure about EAS and UAC but if you tell a teacher and nobody else is aware (that should know), then have a legal obligation to tell someone.
