hi all, now that my hsc is done and dusted i wanted to come on here to share my experience doing more major works than anyone ever should, and give some advice/insight for anyone doing or thinking of doing subjects with a major work, whether that's one or more than one. last year, someone on...

LMFAO fair point, at the very least we knew we were doing stranger/meursault by term 1 but didn't touch it until term 2. she didnt come from nsb but i have to say mod a was 100% my least favourite to study </3

since extension units are out of 50 rather than 100 like 2 unit courses, and only your best 10 units are counted towards your atar, if your extension results are better than your lowest 2u course they’ll only take half of your worst subject’s mark rather than the full two units. for example, my...

my cohort was unlucky because we had to change english adv/extension teachers three times throughout year 12, so we changed our list of prescribed texts twice. the teacher we finished the year with is very experienced with teaching hsc english, she taught at a top 10 school before coming to ours...

this is extremely helpful thank you so so much!!! this is exactly what i wanted to know, just wasnt sure how to digest the info on their sites. again thanks a ton

thank you tons for your input, i didnt word what i said earlier very well with the future prospects thing, im just worried that a bachelor of arts may not be as good as a bachelor of science on paper, but i could be totally wrong about this as im not too well versed in the uni realm

hi, i got two offers today, one through uac to usyd and one through vtac to unimelb. im surprised i got into unimelb specifically because the guaranteed atar is quite high in general so i wasnt even thinking i would have it as an option to consider, but now i do, and i need advice on which to...

trust me, i didnt do maths adv in my hsc (picked up standard in year 11 because our school didnt even offer advanced 💀) and im having a hard time trying to get into my dream course at usyd because i havent met the prerequisite. my two options are to do essentially a filler year in a different...

every day im grateful we only need atar/grades to get into uni here, even with a 99.95 atar if you apply to an ivy league you could still very well get rejected </3 thank you australia!

this sums it up pretty nicely, even with the common app being the american equivalent of uac it really isnt a general "one size fits all" application, like my dad (an american) said he put aside $2,000 in my college fund for application fees ALONE because we were assuming i'd be going to uni in...

ive been wondering this too, because i only came to australia at the start of year 11 i was supposed to be on track to apply to american unis and i even tried to apply after starting my hsc but the application process is just so different, barely any of them recognise the atar at all but even if...

wow yesterday i was freaking out over atar results and today i find out that my friends from my old school (not in australia) got acceptance letters from unis like princeton, cornell, nyu etc what the hell 😭

congrats on your nomination that's huge!!!

The NESA site says "All selections will be finalised by 15 December 2023." i know some of my friends who got confirmed selections for other showcases like artexpress, so some selections have been announced but encore should be out by tomorrow hopefully!!

did anyone else get the unsw AAA scholarship??? i got the email around an hour ago and i'm shocked!!!! my atar wasn't even very good but hey suddenly love that i went to a low ranking school
