Extra UAI points....is this right? (1 Viewer)

[Enlightened_One]

I heard that your UAI may be affected by the following two factors:

Rural students recieve extra marks, three I think. Is that true?

And people within certain boundaries for certain unis recieve extra marks. What's the allowance of extra marks for Newcastle uni?

Someone very knowledgeable give me an answer.

Yeah, it's true extra UAI points can be granted. Particularly through EAS (Educational Access Scheme).

I don't know how many points rural students receive. Newcastle Uni was 4 points for local students, but I don't know anymore.

Technically, no extra UAI points are granted - university cut-offs are instead lowered by a certain number of points.

You should see individual university websites (and the UAC website) for more information on their access schemes.

Yo, is it true taht if your class average is low, say most pplz get like 70%, and you get over 90%, does it drag my marks down or does it gives me more chance to scale upz?
