I accelerated in S&C but it didn't end up counting towards my ATAR, so I half count :). Don't worry about being at a disadvantage by not accelerating ... I don't think it really makes a difference. You have to have a good work ethic whether you accelerate or not.

Finally enrolled! My semester 1 units are: - Geopolitics - German 1 - European History 1750-1914 ... and semester 2 is: - World politics - German 2 - Twentieth Century European History So are you taking World Politics in semester 1 or 2?

It's looking that way :):). What Arts units are you taking first semester?

B Arts (Government & International Relations, I think :)) / B Laws I

Combined Law at USYD ... first preference :).

Hi there ... funnily enough, it didn't. But then again I had some pretty high scaling subjects in there so I guess it shouldn't have come as a surprise.

You and me both :(. Best of luck ... hopefully we'll hear something soon.

They're sending out emails with offers (at least to the engineering students), but I don't know if they're sending out rejection notices. Basically, just stand by.

The federal member in my new seat is apparently Joe Hockey. So I'll be voting Labor. Just because the closer the seat gets the more likely both parties are to pay attention to it :).

Costs $30 unless you're under 18 or have a concession, in which case it's $15. And I'm not exactly sure why (anyone know?). Everything I've ever read about it just says that it's an "application fee". You can apparently make a request under the Privacy Act or something and that carries no...

FOI = Freedom of Information. Basically you write a letter to the Board telling them that you are requesting access to personal information (eg your state rank) and could they please comply with the application because it's the law :). It has been a massive hassle for students to get this kind...

No, I don't mean asking for the 10th ranked student's scores, I mean asking for his own state rank, which you can get.

Ahahaha, loving the mass deletion of comments on this failtastic thread.

Make a FOI application and you can find out for sure :).

Congratulations! (And on your ATAR too :D)

SAM predicted 99.8 for me, only 0.05 off. From what I've heard, the higher you go the more accurate it gets. But it's usually a fairly decent estimate of your mark ...

Your languages are generally not very high scaling and neither is PDHPE, AFAIK. Meanwhile the maths mark will have pulled you down considerably. I haven't checked this in an ATAR calculator but I reckon you could have made 90ATAR with maybe a mid band 5 in maths. If you're looking for advice...

I keep doing that too and then I have to remind myself that it's all over. Weird to have closure after a whole year of relying on nothing but the dubious accuracy of UAI calculators :).

That's what I read too.

Ahhh, alright. And just like that, a modicum of hope is restored :). Congrats again on getting a merit ... that's got to be a boost to your day :D.
