Sounds like you have a natural aptitude for bio over chem for your rank to be better. Unless you're confident you will blitz chem trials. Might as well see how you go in the bio trials before making final decision.

See how trials go. But don't drop chem because it has better scaling, you are doing better in bio (bio's scaling is decent too) and scaling won't really compensate it to that extent given your current ranks. Like for instance, for me, you can bet like the 10 mark difference between bio and chem...

Urgh, nah don't do the prestige thing(coming from a USYDer lol), do which course is best for you. Every uni has its niches. What are you planning to go into after Media&Comm? UTS has probs the best employability as it's more hands on even though journo has like no jobs atm. Prestige isn't really...

Are we talking Media and Comm? I'd go with UTS, more practical for a footing in journalism. USYD is more theoretical. (Sister did journo and have friends in USYD media and comm)

Big list of 11 there-I'd slowly try and cross one off out of the running at a time, until you are down to three. So your undergrad was in international studies at UNSW?

Any particular area of government policy?

Thanks Em lol. The stats of the number of people awarded special provisions in independent and religious schools when you consider the majority of students with disabilities are enrolled in public schools, it is mind boggling. Yes, many arts degree students will do further study. My sister...

Yeah that's what I mean about EAS having flaws in the system. I hate the whole arts degrees=unemployment/uselessness thing. Arts degree by nature are very broad, the employment people go into post one or with further study is humungous. Just because you can't see the exact projectile of...

Women's :)

Yeah most of my HS friends went to Melbourne unis because I came from South NSW, so Melb is a lot closer. Good luck with it all :)

You know I've always had a little soft spot for UPenn and none of the other more popular ivys ever made me a little interested :P Seeing the type of questions they ask at scholarship interviews and stuff, they would be great differentiators for the lower band applicants if it was unfeasible to...

I know it does for postgrad(LSAT for UMELB JD), but is the ALSET undergrad for Deakin? That's why I've always been so passionate on giving back to this site, because this was my card for HSC knowledge that I didn't get where I lived before. This site is so good for rural/regional students...

Re: What absurd things have people done in your school due to competition and rivalry Things that happened to me or to others in my year sound soap opera compared to this. Point was, people who tried to use psyching out tactics were just wasting their own emotional energy and study time. The...

Not psychometric testing like UMAT, a more written essay/communications test. Just meant in the same vein as being an extra requirement for medicine, some supplementary test tailored to be useful for differing law candidates. Also an interesting argument if Australia ever moves to the 'liberal'...

Yeah noone can bash ANU with a good standing, it was rank 1 for so long and now is only one place behind UMELB by the most conventional uni rankings. Long way above USYD/UNSW. Oh and such a strong research uni with a strong postgrad candidature and excellence in many fields. Given how many...

Were you a rural public HS person? *solidarity high five if so* The ATAR system provides a mechanism to rank students but it's not be all and end all in any stretch. Say Student A gets an ATAR of low 80s doing maths, sciences, design and tech and wants to do a design/construction course...

Most UNSW courses are above 80 anyway. Just wondering if the flat 80 cut off is not counting 1) Their subject bonus point scheme that is pretty generous, 2) AAA (yeah sleect rural schools AAA might be quite now as they give it to anyone wanting to study at UNSW) and 3) Not really 80 due to EAS...

Cool, well the ACU should be attainable especially with SEAS standing hopefully :) What are the entry requirements for BA into the JD? Is it like Distinction average plus the LSAT?

Yes, they love that stuff :) (I was a big public speaker and debater myself in HS) I can't remember what the UMELB equivalent is called, but if you sound keen to represent in intercollegiate oration or debating, they will love you for it. (I represented my college at USYD equivalent in public...

Provided you are decently strong in your other subjects, a high E3 in EE2 can easily contribute to a 97+ ATAR. Also do well externally in your MW+RS and you can still get an E4. Get feedback on why you lost marks on your draft and POLISH, POLISH, POLISH.
