if you want a co op apply for BIT its pretty easy to get into compared to others, but its niche as fuck and sorta limiting.

i didn't get one for acc, finance or actuarial. My lowest rank was 4th in all my subjects and my school predicted an ATAR in the 99s with a 2 page reference attached. I've had my heart set on this scholarship for 2 years and I won the UNSW School of Economics Prize Last Year

i didnt get in bcuz of my past history with masturbation in public places. they said it was unruly behaviour and not befitting of a co-op scholarship student. :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

Yeah, didn't get one (for either civil or mechanical engineering). Pretty disappointed because I've had my eyes on this for a while and had spent a fair amount of time on my application (which I had thought was decent).

Rejection was a humbling experience, I suppose.

Also your masturbation problem would have been a thing too, so

Exactly the same as me & I won the UNSW national business competition 2 years in a row. $500 each year + High distinction in economics competition $100 (in the top 10) also won 1st in economics in 2010 & 2011 at moriah & ill probably get an atar above 99. Ill also get 94 raw in mx1 found mx2 quite challenging maybe about 70% but my strengths are in finance hopefully around 94 raw in eco. I would like more transparency & reasoning

Our vice captain got an interview i reckon you need leadership position or something
Nahh dude, this guy at my school hes probs gonna get 99.9 and he is a prefect and has done a heap of extra curricular stuff didnt even get an interview. I dont know how they do it but Im extremely surprised he didnt get one so idk what they look for cos his academics and leadership stuff is amazing =/

Obviously there's a reason they ask for a photo guys.

(Also, SonofAGun, when you self-banned does it just automatically unban on the said date? Because its 1st of November and past 10pm and i'm still banned -tambam)
