It's sad how the Chinese authorities have $$ to gain for every execution they make (organ harvesting), which gives them a strong motive to perform them.
If the story were true, and the alleged drug trafficker had been hoodwinked by criminal masterminds, then this is a gross injustice done against him. Unfortunately we cannot do anything about it as we cannot interfere in the legal system of another country. When I say "cannot" I mean it in the...
"Riff raff?" This may sound cliched, but it's true; education should not be limited to those fortunate enough to be born into a wealthy family. Some among the "riff raff" that you are talking about may have the talent and potential to make a worthwhile contribution to society.
It is not...
Come on guys, you don't have to be so hostile towards him!!
Anyway, to answer your question OP, I am pretty sure that there will be some snobs at every uni; you cannot avoid them. However, you don't need to associate with them if you don't want to. Just don't let them get to you. Cheers.
I'd agree, if you flipped the statement
obsessive parents, selective schools, tutoring = High ATAR
Having a high ATAR does not necessarily mean you have obsessive parents etc.
But...there is a strong correlation between obsessive parents, selective schools, tutoring and a high ATAR

Intermediate - 28/30 = 120 = Prize
Re: Australian Mathematics Competition
I reckon D >60, HD>85, P>100, the intermediate ppr wasnt that hard, considering a third of my yr level at school got out 1 or 2 of the last 5
the question i stuffed up? that plindrome one
proved that the middle digits had to be divisible by 7, and i...
Re: Australian Mathematics Competition
i did the intermediate paper today - felt quite good about it lol
i reckon:
1-10 =30 marks
11-20 = 40 marks
21-25 = 20 marks (stuffed one question, careless mistake)
26, 27, 28, 29 solved = 30 marks
Total = 120 marks
for 26-29, were the answers...
Is he a good PM? We shouldn't be asking that.
What we should be asking is whether he is better than other PM candidates. We can moan and groan and say that he's bad, but what are the alternatives? Malcolm Turnbullshit?
I reckon voting is not to put the best government in, but to keep the...
Hey guys,
For the chem NQE, I was just wondering how many marks (approximately, I know it varies) you need to get a HD or an offer (out of 120) - because I tried the 2007 one (from the website) and marked it according to the marking scheme given. I ended up with 101.5/120. What would that be...
hmm...i would perhaps do it (i doubt it) if it did not HAVE to count towards the ENTER (ATAR for you) only because english is about the ability to communicate
however, there is a certain point where (say the top 10%) a cluster of people can all communicate effectively and so ace english (in...
far out! 100 UAI = 99.95 ATAR
these things are purely RANKS RANKS RANKS! if u get 500 Agg and get first in the state, ur still chucked into a 99.95 group, just like here in Victoria!
Let's start at the beginning, when the British conquered Sri Lanka in the 1800's.
To rule Sri Lanka, the British applied a 'divide and conquer' tactic - they favoured the minority Tamils against the Sinhalese majority to get the two parties fighting each other instead of the British.
After...
thnx for the advice, i really appreciate it - i hope i didnt sound stupid!
i only asked because my family insisted that i do it - although it might be more to do with 'honouring the family name' lol
then again, it is 8 years long so...i reckon perhaps no go for med/law
i may try to do Med...
someone told me that with a MBBS/LLB you could work in the medical law field or you could become a senior doctor - in charge of all the others
but im not sure though - is it worth it?
