I got a UAI of 81.15 and i got 2 band 5's for Information Processes & Technology & Software Design and Development. I want to do Bachelor of business / Sc in Information Technology (UAI cut off 85), and the HSC bonus points i get should be 5,
So that puts my UAI with bonus points as 86.15
I was wondering does that UAI of 86.15 gives me a better chance than a person of 85 into the course, or does the person with 85 with no HSC bonus points has a better chance?

hi5!

aiming for the same course ^^

surprisingly, you both have a 100% chance of getting in

the bonus points from relevant subjects at UTS are SOLID, that is, they will be added on and you will get in if you surpass the cutoff, unlike disadvantaged spots (10% reserve)

ANd: you would have a better 'chance' overall because if the cutoff changes to 86 or something, hes screwed

I think my bonus points will be about 10-15 in selective ranking prior to QTAC universities.

The person with the bonus points is better off. Bonus Points are automatically added on in most cases like the performance band ones (EAS is different separate applications are required im quite sure..).

The performance band bonus points are given because them subjects are required within the course they are offered within...someone at UNSW that gets 86** with bonus points is better off than someone with 85** no bonus points, their UAI is like 86 UAI instead of what it was prior to the bonus points being automatically allocated (at that university and for that course only of course).

UTS: HSC Bonus Scheme - University of Technology, Sydney

i think band 4's are worth 2 marks each, so probably 4 bonus points. not quite sure
