@beetree1
The first attachment is from UAC regarding UNSW double law, and it’s just to show you an overview of the lowest, median and highest atars and selection ranks.

The second shows how the lat works

and the third shows what we need to be competitive

Hope this helps

Is the median LAT score of 77 referring to all the candidates, or the ones who were accepted into the course?

Most probably all candidates, but this is 2019 data

 

[YonOra]

Ye I was about to say, 77 seemed quite low for successful candidates

 

[YonOra]

Do they give their lowest combinations? i.e. lowest atar &or lowest LAT result

Hmm, I think a 77 may still provide entry into unsw law

 

[YonOra]

Hmm, I think a 77 may still provide entry into unsw law

No way. Maybe with a 99.95 ATAR.

I think it’s the combination so the lowest atar, plus adjustment factors may give that lowest selection rank, or it could be the other way around, it’s a bit unclear

Surely they scoff at anyone below a 90 LAT result

Ye i need to go to an open day or smthin

You think so? I think that’s strict expecting students to preform higher on a test we’ve never seen, and have no practice material for

I attended their info session for the lat and they said someone who got an atar of 88 or something and a lat score of 82 or something similar got entry including adjustment factors

But that's (less so but still the same(ish)) like the UCAT. People still manage to get in the 99th percentile on a test they've never seen before

I’ve got the slides from the info session this year, I can email them to you if you want

I think this was an individual from a rural area, with easier pathways into the course

Ye please, ill PM

From the info it looks like 77 is the median LAT score for entrance - it’s next to the median ATAR so makes sense. Remember all people that sit it would be inclined towards law (obviously).

Since law is not seat constrained unlike medicine, don’t treat it as such. Unis are generous and can (and will) dole out a lot of seats since law is relatively cheap to teach and commands high fees thus is a big cash cow. Exception is probably USyd but then they make $$$$ out of their postgrad JD.

But that’s really rare right, so they’ve for to cater for everyone

Same for the lat, I’ve hear some people get 99s and 100s

 

[YonOra]

Ye fair, idk shit about UCAT or med.

Ye but i feel like 95+ in the LAT aren't that uncommon
