Does that mean I get "any" bonus points if I do

-english advance(band4+)
-mathetmatics (band4+)

BUT "NO" physics or chemistry!

So basically, do I get any bonus points or none at all?

 

[deswa1]

No- the link says you need at least a band four in english AND chemistry- given that you don't do chem then you don't count sorry

You need to do all those subjects to get it.

 

[D94]

This isn't "bonus points" like the UNSW system. It's, "if you're within 5 ATAR points, you will also be considered if you have achieved the set criteria".

D94 is correct. This is a flexi-entry. Meaning, that you can gain acceptance via other means of ATAR. (In this case, performance in subjects)

 

[soloooooo]

It says you need to get

- Bands 4 or higher in Advanced English, Chemistry and 2 unit mathematics

OR

- Bands 4 or higher in Advanced English, Chemistry and Physics

If you don't do physics or chemistry you don't get any bonus points by the reading of that website.

OMG....

So I get "none" ??? clarify please.

 

[Appleorange]

OMG....

So I get "none" ??? clarify please.

Yes. You get ​none.

 

[soloooooo]

OMG....

So I get "none" ??? clarify please.

That is correct. Not doing chemsitry rules you out of both.

 

[D94]

You won't be eligible for the Flexi-Entry scheme. The main alternative is to achieve the 85 ATAR (or so).

 

[sghguos]

GG life.

 

[Appleorange]

This "scheme" is a flexible entry. It aims to provide alternative measures to gaining entrance to this course. As such, it requires you to do specific subjects.

 

[sghguos]

So anyone with 80 atar with the right subjects can get entrance while I have to work my ass of for the extra 5 points just cause I didnt do "chemistry".

Yep.

EDIT:

No offence. But the whole idea of the Flexi-entry is to reward students who have done in relevant subjects. Pharmacy isn't like Economics (were it requires a focus of just one subject area). Pharmacy requires the skills from multiple areas, hence you need to excel in ALL of these areas simultaneously to be considered a person who could excel in this course.

Maybe this was something you should have considered when you chose your subjects for the HSC. And if you're going to say you didn't know what you wanted to do, then you should have chosen subjects to your ability and interest so you could achieved a high enough ATAR to give you a wide range of choices.

 

[sghguos]

Anyone know if this is the same for engineering???

Since I havent done physics

Link?

But most likely yes (if it is flex entry)

wait, D94. If I get an atar of 87 and my course in UNSW is 92, I can be considered to partake it?
