I personally think a UAI of 100.00 would work against you more than with you. 
What kind of an employer wants to see someone with a UAI of 100.00, in the real world they want people with people and communication skills rather than mathematics etc.

so youre automatically assuming that any one who gets 100 uai has no personal skills
thats stupid
personally if i were an employer id want someone with uai 100 and good personal skills, rather than some shitty mark and good personal skills

Who wouldn't?
Not really, experiences and good impression quite often override your UAIs. You don't have to have a good UAI to be a well-rounded person that employers would chase after, but having a good UAI doesn't really mean employers would chase after you.
I think having good marks is important, but accumulating enough working and social experiences would be an even more important asset. But when you have finished university, it's a different story. You'd be seeking companies specialising in your area, and they'd understand what your achievements at uni might reflect. However, industry experience is still very very very important.

yeah, experience is whats important for employers, i don't even think they look at your uai, its just for the universtities to use, not for the employer.

first page of resume with softcore work experience was accepted
second page of resume with hardcore achievement was rejected
conclusion:
those recruiters are blind
There was one year in Ruse that some guy who got 100 did not do maths or science.Originally posted by Leanne
THANK YOU!! Someone without maths!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OR SCIENCE!!I have a (very very very small) chance of getting 100!!!! lol
so it is possible to get 100 without doing any maths/science but you'll have to cane very hard.

yeah, uai really doesn't count for crap when ur looking for a job. highly sought after positions basically require a high standard of academic achievement - employers consider it a given. it is ur other achievements outside study, and your personal skills that distinguish you from the next person.
hei, if you get a chance, say hi to suzie chan for me (assuming she still remembers me from summer hill)

sometimes the factor of "how many connections u have" plays a major role in getting a good job for you.Originally posted by pigs_can_fly

To be honest, i think u guys are all attributing too much to a uai. It is an index, nothing more. it's how well u can learn the bos syllabus...Think of it as a path to your desired uni degree.
Employers, ultimately care about what uni degree you have (which is where the uai comes in...) and ur personal skills and other experiences. So don't obsess over the numbers themselves. if you don't get 100 but still get into ur course, does it really make a difference???
