family circumstances during hsc year

no, we got in thru e12 (there are 8-10 spots this year that went to e12) which lowers the atar cutoff to 99.50 for non e12, the cutoff remains 99.95

SG = sydney grammar lol

yeah ahaha one of my mates drew only a smiley face on his cheat sheet for a maths assessment

7 grammars last yr and 10-15 from ruse also ik one nsb who got UNSW too

lol why use a football points system? edit: fixed lmao

according to hsc ninja, u need 49 for e1 for it to count over a 95 in adv and 48 to count over a 94

latin ext counts over 1 unit of phys (475.9 w/o latin, 477.8 with latin)

477-478? it was 478.1 in 2020 and ~477 for the few years before, as a comparison

nah vernburn's aggregate was 477.8 or sth any extra mark in any subject would easily get him the .95

vernburn got 92 eng and 96 phys, 98 chem, 99 4u, 100 3u (and 49 latin ext) and got 99.90

that being said, 94 in 4u and 96 in 3u are great results especially considering that you accelerated those subjects!

If 3u and 4u both count, you'd actually need ~98 in english, eco and modern. Hsc ninja overestimates top atars (it says an aggregate of 468 is enough for 99.95, when ~478 has been needed for the past two years).

or u could do choose the advanced or ssp stream and do everything in person

at grammar, most 99+ come from non-scholarships as @dasfas said (also there are ~50 99+ per year now) fun fact: of the top 20 at grammar in my yr, only 5 were on scholarships (and only 3 were academic scholars) grammar is def an exception though; at most other private schools, top atars...

partial scholarships???

yeah the person i was thinking of had great extracurriculars so maybe he isn't a great example

~260 for most grammar scholars, but im pretty sure some got in with 220-240
