Countdown to ATAR release & ATAR reveal thread (16 Viewers)

[lxrnahj]

I don't really know 100% yet, but I was looking at engineering at usyd which needs an 80 ATAR for most of those courses (I'm in a regional area so get access to the Regional and Remote Access scheme which means I only needed an 80 ATAR to get into those courses that usually require a 90). If only it stacked, I tick so many boxes for those admission pathways/factors.
But that's the #1 reason I'm taking a gap year, to figure out what the fuck I want to do at uni.

I should've dropped DT and Ancient and kept Chem and Ext Maths

thats how i felt abt my marks too lol so much regret i def couldve done so much better if i dropped and picked anotehr course

 

[lxrnahj]

Guaranteed means guaranteed, so as long as you get over 90 (which you did) you have a place in that course if you apply

true but if its competitive 90.9 wont do me much good what im a little stressed abt but idk nothing i can do but wait

guaranteed means that it doesn’t matter if there’s competition, you’ve got it. you’re over the threshold so there’s nothing to worry about

I wasn't even doing that poorly in Chem or Ext Maths, it's just that Ancient and DT were more interesting at the time (until they swapped to teachers that couldn't teach a HSC course).

Honestly, I should've done more research before dropping subjects (and studied more in general lmao)

im pretty sure i should go to unsw for engineering but im scared of trimesters.

i got a atar of 72, i need around 80 for cybersecurity at UTS, do I keep it as my first option or but IT as my first?

yes it still says underneath in small letters if there are spots available lol so im just thinking if they fill up with all the higher atar firsts ill be a lower priority. but thank u anyways ill keep it first preference just in case

it says lowest selection rank was 82.1 last year and the max u can receive for getting band 5/6 is 5 adjustment which puts u below the lowest last year. if there are other ways u think u can make it keep it first even if u dont just keep it first u never know just have good backups

my second option is bachelor of IT UTS, do u think I will get this?

HOW DO YOU CHECK THIS PLS TELL MEEE

 

[pinkpurple321]

you can remove yourself from the list

Really? I didn't know that. But why would they remove themselves for one subject and not another? It doesn't make alot of sense tbh.

do you guys know if you get an early offer from unsw through the gateway program if it has to be first preference on uac

 

[Hehehe22]

I'm late to the party but CONGRATS EVERYONE!! It seems like it was a tough year to get high marks, especially with ATAR compass overestimating ATARs, but you're all done heheh and leaving us 2025ers to our HSC

Also I wanna point out a funny coincidence, which is that 2 people with the exact same name got the exact same state rank (4) in Ancient History this year!

 

[ukwehiewh]

do you guys know if you get an early offer from unsw through the gateway program if it has to be first preference on uac

Nope! I emailed them asking the same question but u can be considered for a firm offer without that degree as part of ur top 5 UAC preferences

 

[lxrnahj]

my second option is bachelor of IT UTS, do u think I will get this?

lowest atar for that was 72.35 and median is 77.75 (median is usually more accurate if ur not gateway or disadvantaged or know ur not getting any extra points/reduced points) again idk u can put it in but have like a much lower backup just in case like a max 70 atar guaranteed so youll know u get in

 

[99.95 atar come my way]

wait guys i got below the guaranteed atar by 1 and can get 2 points adjustment for b6 should i be fine or should i stress bc it doesnt include adjustment factors

 

[tvskAXatar]

Fuck me, got ATAR of 87.80 and the course I want to get into has a minimum 90 selection rank. 5 additional selection rank points awarded due to Band 5 in EngAdv so it takes it to 92.80. Yes, this meets and exceeds the minimum selection rank criteria but I just checked, the median 2024 intake selection rank was 99.95. Should I be worried? Will I get in? What the fuck will happen?
