definently harvard <3

What uni does everyone else want to go to?

usyd or unsw mostly!! though i'm more leaning towards the latter so that i can apply for the co-op program (i know it's available in other unis + i am considering that, but the one i've been looking into has it at unsw). i am applying for early entry into other universities but my dream is to just go to either of the aforementioned two

Usyd. Why would I study anywhere other than a sandstone cloister.

+ UNSW's commute is a bit of a sack coming from the Northern Beaches. UTS is cool though and is a good backup.

Who wanna do mark goals (but they have to be realistic) e.g
math-
eng-
..

i’m just doing my prelims but i’ll participate in this cus why not

math adv: 90/100 (doing too much but oh well)
mx1: 39/50
eng standard: 94?/100 somewhere in band 6
food tech: 94/100
SOR: 94/100
Physics: 89/100

the sandstone unis are so far away from me bruh it’s like an hour and a half commute

for me it’s around the same, i’m guessing u also live in southwest sydney?

i live in the western suburbs but yes close enough

 

[HazzRat]

if i were smart asf - MIT

Imo just apply and so how you go. The MIT acceptance rate is like 4% anyway so getting in is already just winning the lotto.

i wish, but for mx2 i'm aiming much lower, like i want a low e4 at least. bio is fun too but i'm also (hoping) for a low b6 for reasons. 96+ eng and 98+ mod are personal goals, because i feel like i'm capable of reaching them, and because i actually love the subjects and enjoy putting maximum effort into them

idk why but ur actually like 'inspirational' they way u r aiming for the highest band in everyhting lol - what atar r u aiming for exactly? 99.95??

 

[hscgirl]

These are pretty optimistic but
Maths ext 2: 97
Maths ext 1: 99
Chemistry: 96
Physics: 96
English: 93 (most unrealistic goal for me tbh)

Now do yours synthesis, you can’t just ask for ours and not send ur own

oooohhhh 99 for mx1 i hope u get that sr

ok yeah same i'm gonna participate too and come back next year this time and see if i'm still aiming for the same lol:

mx1: 96/100
mx2 (plan on doing this): 95/100
eng adv: 94/100
bio: 94/100
chem: 97/100

omg looking at these marks actually scare me now

haha thanks!! for atar i would like a 99+, but anything over 97+ is completely fine with me

 

[HazzRat]

Same. Successful people and unsuccessful people might all have the same goals. Both a billionaire and a pensioner could have established a goal of being a billionaire. So I'm just going to take back my estimated marks cause they don't mean anything. It is really the daily grind that gets you there.

[Average Boreduser]

i want to go to NUS (national university of singapore) -- mainly bc its better than unsw and cheap (good) food there
if i were smart asf - MIT - but too stupid

I mean if its a singapore uni, I'm guessing its gonna be just as hard.

Out of curiosity, what is the golden triangle? Never heard of it.
