Well yes, fair enough... but people that have been through ALOT have been able to achieve 60's, 70's... university is like a never-ending hsc, if you couldn't handle it before you'd want to be very confident you can handle it again.
Each person is different and just because certain individuals went through 'A LOT' and managed a UAI between 60 and 70 does not mean that others can do the same. especially since going through 'A LOT' could mean absolutley anything and what is considered a lot to you may mean nothing to another.

At this point, if you wanted to go to uni... I would be suggesting re-taking the hsc at tafe, and working your arse off... or doing a course at tafe, and working your arse off, to gain entrance to university.
I say do what you wanna do, and dont try to let people tell you waht to do, I understand what Not-That-Bright is saying, but I also understand that retaking the HSC just isnt an option for some people, If you believe you can do it, then go for it and dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

hey sam isn't crap, SAM predicted my mark to be 97.65 and it was 97.55... whoopdi do 0.1, I'll give SAM that. The lower u go down the spectrum of UAIs the worse SAM's prediction becomes...
I have done the hsc I have passed, I dont see why people do it aggain...
I didnt make it in the course I want to get into maby I didnt work hard enough? maby I should have put in 1000 hours instead of 500 hours of studying? [not exact stdying figures probly like x10 of the real thing...
]
overall I think I will be going to tafe doing a advanced diploma course, trying to get some good marks then transfering into uni.
People who say I dont deserve to be in uni are full or shit...reason I missed out because my busio teacher screwd my internal marks hard! lost liek 5 uai points
life suck, mum hates me...fines due monday

IMO it is easier for someone in your situation to make it into a uni course (at least one with a fairly high cut-off) via repeating the hsc than through tafe. However if you just missed out, tafe would be the go.

You have doors open in front of you, FUCK WHAT PEOPLE SAY! IT'S UR UAI! UR LIFE!!! Not your teachers, not your parents. Chill out, let this UAI gunk pass, give urself a week or so and then decide whats goin on in ur world. All the best mate, all the best

If you were planning on going to uws, you only need a grade average of above credit... >65 average, to be granted access into any course at uws.
So if you were planning on going to uws and can get into any course, it might be worth your time to just do that course for half a year, get above a credit average, and switch to what you want. (I don't think this will apply to medicine).
He's right you know. Plumbers and Private Contractors (some of em) earn more than doctors ever will.. Having said that, these new IR laws WILL f*ck people with no/little skills in the future. I'd say you'd have to make your own businesses or something..erawamai said:

It's alot easier for a plumber to set up a plumbing business than it is for a doctor to set up a large private practice.
I don't think too many plumbers will end up being fucked over, most of them work for small companies, and if the small company doesn't pay them right they will tell the boss to fuck off and walk out the door, start up their own business.

My boyfriend got 58 and he's still happy with that (he was a victim of scaling, he got mostly Band 4s, oh well)... combined with his really good RET test results from UWS, he could get into what he always wanted - UWS Nursing. I don't see any reason why that dream would be less merited than others just cause he got a lower UAI.

Oh no, what i mean by >65 is >65 average mark at university... or greater than a 5.0 gpa.
If you want, you can sign up for some course at uws.... work hard at it for half a year, get a gpa above 5.0, and pwn.

I was reading over the thread and couldn't help but notice how stupid this statement was. When I did my HSC i got a UAI of 64. Just enough to get me into that so called bad uni UWS. I finished my degree this year with an average mark of 80 (which is not easy to get at uni). And for those of you who say, yes but UWS is crap, you should now that I have received letters/emails from UNSW, Usyd and ANU to enrol in their honours programme with full scholarships.erawamai said:
My point is good UAI does not equal good at uni. Bad UAI does not equal bad at uni. If you try as hard as you can and have half a brain you will do good at anything you choose. Remember that around 60% of first year students drop out of uni, a large portion of which had excellent UAIs.
