Re: NSW to dump UAI!

They want to make sure nobody is perfect.

Re: NSW to dump UAI!

More breaking news:

It's been pulled off all hosting websites.

Article no longer available - LIVENEWS.com.au

Add in the fact that it sounds utterly ridiculous to make it 99.5 instead of 100, and you've got an annoyingly unbelievable sham.

The only question is ; who started this one?

I don't get why people are complaining. Even if it's true, it doesn't really change anything

They want to make sure nobody is perfect.

Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody has those days
1, 2, 3, 4!

Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody has those days
Everybody knows what, what' I'm talkin' 'bout
Everybody gets that way

Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody has those days
Everybody knows what, what I'm talkin' 'bout
Everybody gets that way, yeah!

Sometimes I'm in a jam
I've gotta make a plan
It might be crazy
I do it anyway

No way to know for sure
I figure out a cure
I'm patchin' up the holes
But then it overflows

If I'm not doin' too well
Why be so hard on myself?

Nobody's perfect
I gotta work it
Again and again
'Til I get it right

Nobody's perfect
You live and you learn it
And if I mess it up sometimes
Nobody's perfect

Sometimes I work a scheme
But then it flips on me
Doesn't turn out how I planned
Gets stuck in quicksand

But no problem can't be solved
Once I get involved
I try to be delicate
Then crash right into it

But my intentions are good, yeah yeah yeah
Sometimes just misunderstood

Nobody's perfect
I gotta work it
Again and again
'Til I get it right

Nobody's perfect
You live and you learn it
And if I mess it up sometimes

Nobody's perfect
I gotta work it
I know in time I'll find a way
Nobody's perfect

Sometimes I fix things up
And they fall apart again
Nobody's perfect
I know I mix things up
But I always get it right in the end
You know I do

Next time you feel like
It's just one of those days
When you just can't seem to win
If things don't turn out the way you planned
Figure something else out
Don't stay down, try again, yeah!

Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody has those days
Everybody knows what, what' I'm talkin' 'bout
Everybody gets that way

And if I mess it up sometimes

Nobody's perfect
I gotta work it
I know in time I'll find a way

Nobody's perfect
You live and you learn it
'Cause everybody makes mistakes
Nobody's perfect

(Nobody's perfect)
No no
Nobody's perfect!

Re: NSW to dump UAI!

Its now been pulled for the other news site as well. Have any of you Year 12 students been "written too" or received anything about it? I guess not.

Any ides where this could have come from? Doesn't seem like the kinda thing that someone could make up, a lot of fairly important people were quoted in those articles.

Quotes are quotes. I'm going to quote you saying I'm an asshole and that all people are idiots. Doesn't make you right OR me an asshole

There would've been SOME video footage, and 3:49 PM is an odd time to make an announcement.

How is it 'utterly ridiculous?'

Yeah cause it's totally impossible to make up quotes

Re: NSW to dump UAI!

Is this meant to be bad? It just means that 100 = 99.95 and so each other rank will be pulled down by 0.05 of a rank...

The ranking system should just be randomly flipped so that it's like queensland with the OP (but of course still with the range of UAI).

2009 fellow: "Hey, I just got my UAI score... I'm so pleased! I got 1.

2007 fellow: "WHAT!?"

Re: NSW to dump UAI!

Hmm we have an urgent year meeting scheduled tomorrow morning with possible media...

The livenews article was dated 10th June 5 am so maybe it was accidentally released early.

Re: NSW to dump UAI!

Does it make any sense whatsoever to have it as 99.95 instead of 100? It's THAT much more annoying to rank someone with a number like that.

EDIT: Thanks to Electro for the pickup.

you mean 99.95...

Re: NSW to dump UAI!

Its fake. has to be. they wouldnt implement this mid-way thru the year and students would've heard something about this before the media does.
Or at the very least we wouldnt be going "WTF. when did this happen?" when the media releases it.

Why not? They're really just arbitrary numbers

Re: NSW to dump UAI!

If that really is the case, then there's no point - no possible reason, to change it from a good, round 100.

Re: NSW to dump UAI!

UAC will be making an announcement on this tomorrow morning - check the website at Universities Admissions Centre | UAC then.

UAC will be taking enquiries from 8.30am tomorrow.

Re: NSW to dump UAI!

They say its to 'bring it in line with the rest of the country' but wouldn't that just give the impression that a NSW UAI (or A-TAR) is the same as one from a less populated state?

And yes, I know you can make up quotes, but if some random just sent them an e-mail don't you think they would at least take a look at one legitimate site before posting it. Meaning it would have had to some from somewhere that has at least some credability for them to just stick it up.

Edit: Where did you hear this about UAC?
