2024 HSC Students who got into unsw/usyd law, what were your atars/lat scores? (1 Viewer)

[mantrajens]

i go to a top 5 selective highschool and im taking the hsc this year, just wondering around what marks (atar and lat and maybe internal ranks) i should be aiming for to get into these two universities for law/com or law/arts (preferably law/com but is it true that it's more competitive??) thank u please please help me out

I did my HSC in 2023, since I went to a gateway school for most of year 12 I was eligible for early entry at UNSW to study Mathematics. The ATAR needed was only 68 after early entry lowered it by 12. Don't stress if you get a low atar since there is always IPT in uni. I know plenty of people who got ATARS in 65-75 range and now going to UNSW. Since you go to a top 5 selective school you won't get an ATAR that low but just saying for all the others here.

For atar you'd definitely need like 98+ to be competitive so considering your school being ranked so high try to rank top 15ish in most of your subjects depending on the b6 rate for your subjects- you wanna be aiming for as many b6 and high b5 as possible^^

99.5 and 99 lat for offers from both

yes, unsw and usyd are more competitive for law, but they're also much more difficult course and marking wise and much more respected by employers. it's probably easier to either: transfer in undergrad with a HD (85+) wam from an easier degree, or do the post-grad JD which is substantially the same.

the median LAT for entry is typically around 75

what if you go to a poorly ranked school, mine is 226th?

either come first and blitz every external exam, apply for adjustment factors if applicable, or look to transfer in later years
