Dux (2 Viewers)

[danz90]

I got the $4000 from UNSW waiting for me if I decide to go UNSW (not gonna happen though), and a certificate from the school. My name also goes up on the massive plauqe in the Admin block lol

 

[danz90]

what? I got dux of my school but I didn't get $4000 from UNSW.

It's the scholarship thingy... every school in NSW nominates their top academic achiever to be awarded a scholarship by UNSW.
U only get access to the $4000 if you go to UNSW.

$4000 isn't worth 4 years at UNSW...not even close.

What happens if the dux in your school isn't going to UNSW, but 2nd highest achiever does. Does the 2nd highest guy get the $4000 thing or it just isn't rewarded to anyone?

Edit: I read up on UNSW website, the school principal can only nominate one person, therefore the 2nd highest gets nothing. Damn.

They have to nominate the top academic achiever even if they have only one UNSW course somewhere in their preferences, its the rules of the scholarship. So now, no one will get that money...

Is there anything that comes with being a Dux?

I am just curious.

Scholarship preferences like UNSW and Sydney
Honour roll
School trophies
Shields which have ua name inscribed on 'em
U can also get prize money and media<if they come to ua school>

Is there any Dux with a lower UAI than me ?

A few years ago someone Dux'd our school with an 89, I believe.

 

[mathslover]

97.6 =[

 

[aussiechick007]

I 'got' Dux but at a lower ranked school.

Is there any Dux with a lower UAI than me ?

pretty sure I beat everyone

I got Dux with a uai of 90.45, go me lol
next highest was 87.something, and I don't think anyone else would have done overly great but they may surprise me yet ...

I think last years Dux was in the 70's or 80's, so my school is pretty stoked this year

I could get a $2000 Uni of newcastle scholarship, but I don't want to go there ...

 

[alez]

Wow, not at my school tho. We're lucky that Dux kid wasn't announced. Otherwise it's awkward then.
