Hey I'm looking to try and do comm/law at UNSW and obviously a high ATAR is required.
I'm quite certain with my school rank I will need to be top 3 for most subs.
So I would be pleased with 90+ however 96+ is a higher goal I wish to achieve.

Subject and Cohort Size
2 Unit Maths - 30
3 Unit Maths - 6
4 Unit Maths - 5
Standard English - ~35-40
Economics - 14
Legal Studies - ~15-20
Business - ~30

2012 School Rank - 120s (better than previous years by a lot)

Look, I know what you're thinking...
Yes, my classes are very small. My cohort has a small, but good top end. However, we do have a rather large tail end unfortunately.
And yes, I kick myself now that I didn't pick advanced English because I believe I could've had good potential (topped standard).

Any tips/advice is appreciated.

I think you'll want to be top two in 3/4 unit maths, top 3 in legal/eco/business, and ideally first or maybe second in english, I'm being a little harsh i guess, but not by much and better this than get your hopes up.
