That dude who said you fail at life if u apply for EAS, what an idiot!!!!!!
Are you saying that students who weren't able to complete pracs such as comparisions of hominins in biology because they couldn't afford the $50 bus trip and the 2 days lost school because of the distance involved don't deserve somwe extra consideration?
It's not an automatic 5 marks, you have to write a heap about exactly how you were disadvantaged and they look at it and see if it applies to their specific course, as well as character references and stuff.
Stupid person.
