[caitlinjinks]

I live in a rural town and we get alot of bonus points for being in such a crappy holee. BUTT apparently we only get them (upto 15) in certain states like VIC, ACT and SA. does anyone knoww?

^ I think that's it.

Also, it depends what course you want to get into. Combined Law, Psychology and other higher level courses never have bonus points applied to them....except of course, at UWS.....

I was pretty sure that ACT didn't have bonus points...not sure.

It depends what uni you want to go to.

If you go to a disadvantaged school you get EAS, but I automatically got that, I wasn't even expecting it.

Basically, when you decide what you want to do, call the uni/search the site to see whether they offer bonus points. Most will offer points to rural students, such as UC giving 10 i think, UoW giving 3, ANU gives some, and so does CSU.

All the schools in my town have a tour of the canberra uni's once a year. Last year a few of my friends went and asked ANU if rural students get bonus points...we don't lol
Unless it's changed since then which would be nice

10 points is a lot when you think about it really.

Sounds about the same as every rural town in this state, well around my area anyway.
