ranks as of finishing term 1:
english adv: 41/65
maths adv: 42/88
sdd: 9/25
physics: 35/42
engineering studies: 9/19

could not give a fuck about getting high atar
need 80.05 for uts software engineering
mid 200s school
attainable?

i reckon you are probably a litttle bit behind where you need to be.

for ur atar goal sdd is probably fine where it is now, but english and physics need some improvement. math and engo are ok but if you improved on those too it'd be a lot less iffy.

you still have at least two internals + externals to go, so it's absolutely attainable! if it's within your capacity, push yourself a little bit more to ensure you get there

Another improtant thing to know is that UTS looks at selection rank which is different from your ATAR. This means that if you get a high band in subjects such as SDD and engineering you will receive bonus points which will in-turn boost your selection rank.

You can also try for early entry to UTS for that degree, but that will be based on your yr11 results.

Early entry for UTS also has the 'Edge' program so that could help if the yr 11 results are a bit average

So UTS has the standard higher math requirement for their degrees, on the engineering page you can find the following:

"
Assumed knowledge
HSC Mathematics Extension 1; Physics; and English Standard. English Advanced is recommended.
For the biomedical, civil, and civil and environmental engineering majors, Chemistry is recommended. For the software engineering major, a sound knowledge of the fundamentals of programming is recommended.
"

You don't have math EX1, and if you're not very strong at math this could cause you problems. The reason is their calc1/calc2 courses done in first year will assume you are very strong at algebra and calculus [33130-Mathematics 1/33230-Mathematics 2]. So, you might want to put more time towards improving you advanced math rank, as being excellent at advanced math content is highly benificial for heading into those courses and also scales pretty well.

I highly agree with this statement as being comfortable with maths is highly beneficial for maths 1 and 2 as they will rely on topics taught in maths adv. However, UTS does offer a course called foundation maths which you can either choose to enrol into or be forced into it. The way you're forced into it is by failing the maths readiness survey (mrs) which is a test to check whether 1st students are ready for maths 1 or not. This means that if you are truly struggling in maths then you can probably elect to do foundation maths. But personally I think that it's better to actually try harder in maths and feel comfortable with the topics as even if you do foundation maths you will still have to do maths 1 which will cost more money and time. But it's always good to know your options so you're not completely out of luck if you truly are struggling in maths but still put in the time as what ZakaryJayNicholls said it does scale well and will also help you in uni.
