Well, you wouldn't know whether someone -was- seriously disadvantaged would you, unless you can walk in their shoes? I trust that the people who filter through the EAS applications are experienced enough, after years of reading such applications, to chuck out bogus claims. Like myself, I went through the worst two years of my life but when I submitted my EAS application and friends asked I just told them: "Nah, just bullshitted to get the thing." I think alot of people do that too - just to save themselves the shame of having to explain why. I think the selectors are the best judges of who deserves the scheme and who doesn't.Melody said:Shits me when others get in who may not have been affected by their disadvantage while someone who has been disadvantaged significantly does not.
I too said that I "just bsed to get it" and I understand your argument but in my case I can't understand why I was knocked back while others that I know whose performance was not really affected by their disadvantage (given, I do not walk in their shoes) were accepted. My gripe is not with others getting in, it is my frustration at going through so much, with my results evidently and substantially affected, and yet told that I was not disadvantaged enough. As I said, I am not interested in UNSW anymore, otherwise I would be on the phone trying to work things out. I can get in by myself but I really feel for others now and in the future who are not as fortunate in that respect.Lainee said:Well, you wouldn't know whether someone -was- seriously disadvantaged would you, unless you can walk in their shoes?

The girl has a hell of a lot nicer clothes than me (all brand name), she has a computer, internet-access, there isn't a weekend she doesnt go out-- yet she has no money? she doesnt even have a job. All because her parents are divorced and she comes from a single-parent family.
She hasn't been affected by her low-income or single-parent family, she isnt that smart- but she still gets to do Arts at Sydney Uni, where I will probably miss out just because my parents are still together (even though they hate each other and their constant fighting sure as hell has affected my study). But I don't qualify. I hate people who screw with the system- same works for everyone who rips off centrelink.
thanks heaps 4 empathisin wif me Laineee really weneva ne1 i no discovers dat i was rejected is incredulous n empathises wif me...Lainee said:you both have UAIs worth envying after and if you think of the masses of people who you topped despite what you both faced.
