Atar disadvantaged scheme/points (1 Viewer)

[daydremah]

If we go to a low-ranking/disadvantaged school do we get the extra 5 points for certain and how economically disadvantaged do you have to be to be to get these points?

lmaoooo

i know UNSW offers it but um duno about the low-rank school thing thats not their problem its yours - if you're seriously financially disadvantaged they do take that into consideration

they also give extra points if you excel in certain areas such as sport, music debating or some crap but yeah basically if you show leadership and have qualities they're seeking in their students you can get bonus points and if u do really well in studies (eg. band 6/e4s) you get em

this is correct. they do have some considerations for financially disadvantaged or problems with studying e.g. family issues etc. and some courses give bonus points if you get a band 5 in subjects relavent to your degree

but they dont offer anything because of low school ranks lol, why would they do anything for that, thats the point of your school rank, to moderate your internal marks to make it somewhat more fair for everyone

only proves just how desperate they are!

 

[thuanvon]

remember disadvantage points are not visible to your atar
depending on the course they might accept them or not

 

[twistedrebel]

yes, schools on priority funding list or w.e,
UWS is lol, 5 points for area
10 points for band 5/6 in related subject
5 for UWS first preference? (not sure, but there is 3, i think this is it)
and average cut off it like 65
so 45 ATAR?
oh wait i forgot EAS, another 10
so cutoff 35
