wtf do u mean? u go do any course.... 60 atar might as well drop out cuz
I can still do information technology at Newcastle university with 60 Atar :p

Anyway I'd rather the 99.95 unless I could have 70 and $12,000
That would qualify me for Computer Science

Long run 99.95 would make me more money then $18,000 in a one time payment

99.95 - because then I can go study anything and make money after finishing uni when I work. Plus you get an experience of going to uni. Wheras 60 atar is not high enough for what I want to study, and if I had a job I'd make 18k in a few months..

99.95 and scholarships in many uni's, particularly usyd :p
Allows me a pick of all the degrees I want and opens more opportunities
also I can't be trusted with money because I recklessly spend it all haw haw

99.95

Start tutoring and have scholarships everywhere.

In the long term this would be the better option imo

99.95 any day, at UNSW that gets you the Scientia scholarship worth loads more than 18k over the course of your degree and I believe that USyd has a similar deal.

It does. I believe iSplicer has the relevant scholarship; outstanding academic achievement scholarship or something or other

99.95 ATAR for sure opens you up to almost every tertiary educational opportunity + scholarships (big money ones too), more choice in job prospects that can potentially get you much, much more than $18,000. If you gave me $18,000 at my age I would not spend that shit wisely
