hey i dont see anything wrong with dfee places. if you want to be there then sure enough, you have to work hard for it. someone mentioned earlier that the hsc is not based on how well you did academically. there may be reasons why a person's performance is affected in their uai.
this is why there is such a thing as eas schemes for disadvantaged students but it doesnt account for other factors not attributed by these schemes.
if a student gets into their university course, so what? say for example if a student with a high uai does shit compared to the student with low uai who does well, what then? this can easily be compared to that of a high uai that does well and the low uai student that does shit. this is just how you percieve it.
if they have a shit uai and do shit fair enough. its not your problem.
what most of you wads try to pick out is the favourable circumstance compared to the alternative circumstance and not thinking about the alterntive circumstances.
fee-help students pay for their course exactly the same way as a csp student. except the fact that they have a lot more to pay at the end of thier degree.
therefore it makes no difference with the student's family wealth when they recieve their uai.
this question would make a really good mulitple regression model.
