i just want to break down crying.


i put in every effort possible.

i was reaching for that 85.
but i will probably barely get 75.

^School rank?

And yes, mine is prob unattainable.

To person who said 99.65 to do law cause their dad said to, Dude you're almost an adult, do what you want to do and tread your own path to greatness.

lololol okay then.

i think my parents have kind of given up on me

i'd be ok with mid-low 99s tho. was aiming for 99.7 before haha -> 100% out of reach

stupid school told my parents my estimate was 97 and now they are expecting it. ill be happy if i just get over 90 which still seems too farfetched. stupid hsc.

Most of my friends believe I will get a 95+ ATAR. Unlikely when I look at my situation realistically.

Yes, my ranks are all in top 5.
Yes I do mid-high scaling subjects, (including 4 unit english, legal, bio and ancient his) But my school is ranked 200 (even though my current year is APPARENTLY much stronger than the previous years) and I'm only getting an average of 85 in my subjects.
If i compare my marks to students in other schools who are getting like 98+, I'm nothing. Although, there is always the rare chance that my school is assessing my grade on a higher difficulty...improbable.

So I'm hoping for about 90 ATAR but I in all likelihood, I will probably end up with an ATAR of 85-90.

I've wanted to do law since Year 8 - 99.65 + (UNSW/Usyd)

My ATAR estimate from school was... 99.5-55. I think I'm going to fuck up externals... I ain't going to get into the course basically.

I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO MY FUTURE ARTS DEGREE (in which I'll transfer through to law).

True, I feel for them. My school and lots of people I know seem to think I'm going to get a bunch of band sixes and therefore an ATAR over 90. Personally, I'd be happy with 85 and shocked if I got much over that.
