yes i am still eligible for entry with a lower atar in msot courses, but only at certain unis. i wish i knew where this "91 atar for med" stat came from, because for usyd at least, the atar i would need to get for med is still a 99.5!!

well i did the first 11 years of my schooling in a regional area and there was a really big difference between me and my peers when i first started y11. i had a fair bit of catching up to do and my grades weren't the best. the reason regional and rural students still get benefits even if they...

i can for sure understand that! would i would personally use that range for regional students and lower it a bit for rural/remote since there is a huge difference between the schooling in the two places

i dont think we're having a very productive conversation here. hsc is never going to be easy full stop, but metro students do have resources and opportunities some rural students dream of. sure, the lower atar cutoff makes it easier for rural students to get into uni but the unis have decided on...

you're right, there are heaps of schools in the city that are under resourced. in my original post, i said that the hsc gives disadvantaged students more of a disadvantage, which includes people going to these schools in the city so my apologies if my wording was unclear. however, unis also have...

i think i accidentally started an argument oopsies

and the top 80 schools are literally all in a city???? there are only three country schools in the top 100, and like 15 in the top 200, and those country schools are either private or selective. my old school in the country was literally so bad we weren't even ranked lmao

you don't always get the benefits. im a boarder and bc ive done y12 in a city i don't get it for quite a few unis. usyd also uses government classifications of the areas to determine who is regional/rurual

totally agree with this!! looking at the band 6 counts between my old school and my current school is such a shock. if i stayed at my old school, i would have to top every single assignment in every single subject to even get a chance at a 90+ atar.

you're right, it is absolutely 100% possible for someone from a rural, regional area to get a 90+ atar. i personally think that it's relatively easier for people in urban areas to get that atar due to the strength of the cohort. it is just a lot of your own effort and your own time that you're...

its also way harder to get a 91 atar if youre in a rural area. the quality of teaching and resources are much less than in metro areas (speaking from experience as someone who has gone to school in a regional and metro area) and these students typically don't perform as well in the final exams

so insanely flawed! hsc is not a good representation of 13 years of schooling and puts already disadvantaged students (esp in regional/rural/remote areas) at more of a disadvantage

ranked 5th overall in bio! got my trial back today and i lost 8 marks bc of silly mistakes BUT! my teacher said she was very happy with how i went sooo

me too! three paintings and one drawing to go!

i didnt do the paper but my teacher gave it to us for study! they asked about the significance of nazi ideology on german forgein policy and evaluating the success of german advances thru poland due to luck not skill for europe. for russia, they asked about stalins position in the bolshevik...
