Yea mayber that's it - where you need that HD average in your first year subjects. I still think it's rude of them to simply say you need a D in the required subjects when in essence you have to do Law, have to have a scholarship, a HD average and then of course be able to teach.
Then again with that being said, the majority of the PASS leaders are disgusting - don't get me wrong there are some really really smart and intelligent leaders who can teach you alot but many others who are a joke.
I guess the interviewers simply want the HD Law student you are on paper.
Not true. Just because it just so happens that a lot (more than 50% it seems) are students that are studying law, does not mean that that they are specifically looking for those who are law students too and are HDers. It is a coincidence that they are all-rounders too and have other attributes to their name.
Although clearly the quality of PASS leaders goes up/down each year like most things, overall they aren't too bad and it really depends on the cohort each year that applies. I know for one, that last year's cohort was really lacking, which is why they decided to keep an extra past PASS leader rather than the usual 2.
You definitely do not need a HD in all your first year subjects, let alone the subjects that you are apply to. Clearly it would be an advantage, but they also look closely at your extra-curriculars and achievements etc. If you're lacking in that area and also only have a minimum D, then clearly they'd select someone else for an interview who has a higher grade than you and if their extra-curric's sucked too.
