Whats your dream UAI.. and what do you think you will get? (1 Viewer)

[velox]

Some people are a tad cocky in this thread . What a shame if you got lower than what you expected.

thats why you expect nothing, and hope for the best.

(and make a uai aim to keep u working )

yeah usyd is 99.95+ No point trying.

Yeah. I aimed for around 96 last year. I stuck all post-it notes around my room and the toilet with my "dream" UAI on it, lol.

 

[bEAbEA]

i would be extremely happy with over 90, but realistically I think I'll get in the 80s

 

[Rafy]

100

Probally get 93-96 ish.

 

[tennille]

lol did u get 96?

95.3. Close enough, lol.

 

[velox]

My uai aim is totally because of my course, not because i want bragging rights like many others. But then again, there is no harm in doing well =)

 

[velox]

Yeh, but if you dont do well, you can't say that to the uni and ask them to let you in. Might aswell play the game.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Medicine is damn hard to get into.

Tennille what was the cut off for bsc(adv) at usyd last yr?

 

[tennille]

lol yeah close enough! i think UAI is a bit stupid, it does not measure the full capacity of a student.

It only measures their ability to memorise a whole bunch of poo. (Unless you do maths, where you can't really memorise anything).

Tennille what was the cut off for bsc(adv) at usyd last yr?

96.35 last year, 96.40 this year.

lol i reckon some ppl r a bit cocky. i think im one of the few who have said a UAI below 90!

Don't worry. That was me during 2003. I felt like I was the only one who didn't want a uai of 99.xx or something similar I only needed 60 (from memory) to get into what I wanted to do.

Who cares what you get, as long as you get into what you want to do.

How did you make it?

 

[tennille]

How did you make it?

I think uni's tend to raise their UAI cut-offs for competition. I got accepted in the main round as well, s I was like "what the hell?". But I'm not complaining. So if you get your UAI and it's below the cut-off for your first preference, then don't swap your preferences around. You still have a chance of getting into your dream course.

 

[velox]

Oh i see, so people who selected could have rejected the course early allowing people with uai's below the cut off to gain entry?

Possibly. Or they just increase the cut-off to look good. lol. I'm not sure.

 

[suger_plum]

Dream UAI

My dream UAI is anything over 90....(oh please!!!!)
I'm actually aiming for anything over 80...cuz my parents will buy me a car if i do...n if i get over 85 then my parents r also paying for a trip for me to go anywhere overseas.......i need to study up then huh?!!
I want to do journalism of some form @ UNSW....or a Bachelor of Fine Arts @ the National Art School....hmmmm i wish

 

[Carcus]

my dream UAI is 100%, but i will recieve zilch, because im not contesting for a UAI, because i think the scaling system for UAI is odd because the marks you earn wont the the marks you will recieve, so, im goin to tafe instead
