Who has atar expectations which they dont think are attainable? (3 Viewers)

[Aerath]

I had 15 cousins who all got 99.5+. I [thankfully] made the cut, but, I do fear for the pressure on the younger cousins....

School average will bring my moderated HSC mark down.

You would be suprised, your school could pull you up.

aerath, how are you finding law..? are you doing it because its your passion, or for somthing else?

I'm sure you will exceed the expectations.

 

[Aerath]

Asian bloodline

Yeah, all Asian.

Law's good. Not doing terribly well, but I do enjoy it, and it's definitely something I want to get in to.

My family will pretty much throw me out of the house if i dont get over 99

 

[elbatiolpxeho]

I know you can do it, Elbatio!


Team Elbatio! Whooooo

 

[herbs1]

Yeah, all Asian.

Incorrect. This is not the reason for his success. His mother took him to a prison during shower time, and since then, he's been studyin' hard.

Also since when was OE such a sooky girl

DUDE my parents expect atleast 95! HI-5... But my cousins all got 95+ .....that's why my dad's hopes are so high for me... T.T..

Haha HI-5 - we can collectively disappoint them!
I have a cousin who got something crazy like 98/99... but apart from him, my sister and I are considered the 'smart' ones in our family... they ALL expect me to go well, like 90+ is a given..

I'm the "younger cousin" in my family :'(
Cousins are doing pharmacy, dentistry and one is transferring to med.

My mum wants me to to get at least 94+
I don't think that's possible. I'll be lucky to scrape a 90+ imho

Although ATAR doesn't gurantee success!!!! But yeah it would be great if i got 95+

Although my dad didn't even finish high school and he is more succesful then all the cousins/uncles who got 95+ ....

 

[MetalTheory]

My ATAR goal is 97.25, but combined with my relatively low ranking in my subjects and my revision with past HSC papers, there's absolutely no way I'm going to get it. According to the online ATAR calculators, I'll need to get a band 6 for all of my subjects, but I'm not even getting it for half of my subjects. This is making me really stressed that I won't get what I want, but I do have my alternate pathways into the university course I want to do.

 

[effylove]

It seems the root of most of our problems all revolve around high achieving cousins... damn them and their high achieving ways!

True, true, other pathways, back doors and what not..
I've already got the plan B to get into law/arts at mq by 2nd year, so its not the end of the world. 90+ would keep the parents happy though.

Well if you don't get 95+, tell your dad that he is your inspiration lol.. also mention all the billionaires that dropped out of college/uni.. this is what I'm doing if I massively fail!

 

[13abie]

Yeah but don't you guys feel that alternative pathways would be a massive let down? I mean, if we worked out butts off, did our absolute best and worked to absolute capacity then we deserve our course. I don't wanna have to spend a whole year doing something that is even slightly worse than my ideal course, after everything ive given up in 2011.

 

[UnrealAnchovies]

my cousins all dropped out
