Hi

Just want to know is there a possibility of person being eligible for more than 10 bonus points in any circumstances ie: through subject bonus points and EAS?

Thanks

I THINK UWS has like... a 15 Bonus Point Program?

If you are 10+ points below the cutoff for your course of choice, the course is probably too hard for you...

^ unless you didn't try in year 12. but i thought that 10 was the standard limit to answer your question

UWS is also a maximum of 10.

False... Atar cutoffs are not based on difficulty, but rather demand...

difficulty and demand aren't mutually exclusive. it would be stupid to say for example that teaching which has a lower cut off than medicine is more difficult. the statement was 'probably too hard' not 'too hard' anyway

He didn't state that a course with a lower atar is more difficult, but meant that the difficult of the course isn't determined by the atar cutoff. For example, commerce at UNSW is 96 but engineering is 91. From general comments i have heard engineering is much more difficult then commerce, but why is the commerce atar higher? Supply and Demand.

Although there is a correlation between difficulty and demand, usually these more difficult jobs pay higher, which in turn lead to a higher demand.

Exactly.

Higher paying jobs leads to higher demand, which in turn leads to higher ATAR cut offs to ensure that the economical balance between supply and demand is strong.

If law is as accessible as UWS (i.e. known to accept an 80 ATAR), there becomes an oversupply of graduates, and hence destroys the economical balance.

There already is an oversupply of graduates because every single uni is teaching Law to milk as much money as possible.

Yes, but the idea of accepting people with 70 ATAR's into law broadens the degree to many, many more people; which results in an oversupply of graduates.

Well ATAR is based on demand and less prestigious unis will have a lower atar. Maybe we should control law admissions like they do in UK and like we do in medicine. Make people sit LSAT and take interviews.

I think that would be great - if it lowered the 99.7 you need to get at the 'prestigious' universities to even qualify for law...

i LUL'D harder than a circus clown. Dude. If you want a future, you wouldn't go to UWS, as far as the 98.9% of people here would agree on. Your better of using the 1/2 bonus points in more recognised uni's like UNSW.

p.s bro seriously, your bonus points are automatically added 2 your atar when you apply for the degree, so no need 2 stress. jus kick back, roll up your sleeves & relax son.

These are mistakes someone from UWS would make.

EAS gives a max of 10 points not including uni specific bonus schemes, you can get 10 EAS points and then get 5 bonus points for hsc subjects
