Also guys make sure you put uws as a preference in uac (anywhere between 1-9) if ur keen because they give you a 20k scholarship over 4 years if your atar is above 90. Just putting it out there because a lot of people dont seem to know about it.

Over the entirety

It's 5k per year. And if u get into the academy which you need like I think 80+ you get a lot of free shit

Is this for all courses? Including medicine? Because most benefits uni's give, tend to exempt anybody doing medicine from these benefits.

 

[astroman]

they open 1st sept

There is a list of courses for which this exists so best to check and see if your desired course is on that. Yeah that's right there's no incentive for medicine.

It says any undergraduate degree but it's definitely not for medicine. Also you don't need to apply for the scholarship directly.

MY TRIALS ARE FINALLY OVER !!!!! XD


(now I just have to endure two traumatic weeks of results)

 

[Chris_S]

Haha yeah true i thought the 2 weeks of getting the trial results back worse than the trials itself lol

Good job on your 86 ! To be fair, I am not like the rest of Year 12s who have other subjects to balance as well So its a great job that you did

I went out pretty depressed too, thinking that I failed my essay and fucked up some short answers :C!

I went out of Business Studies thinking I would do, at best, mid-80s.... It's because I wrote (what I believed to be a crappy quality) 6 pages for Section IV and it was like I felt as if I went too fast with short answers... and then the business report didn't really sit well with me...

Needless to say, I thought I wouldn't do as well as I expected.

I ended up with a 96/100 xD

Hooray! Well done
