how can anyone compare, unless you repeated yr 12 in which case you are a complete and utter ratard

in my opinion, there really is no difference. For me, i prefer uai, for the reasons specified by jetblack2007. Hearing asian parents say 'arrrr-tar' makes me cringe.

The cut-offs would be different if this year was UAI and no ATAR

hrmm like,,
in past years combined med at usyd ,, the cut off was 99.95 uai right
but this year it was 99.95 atar
and 99.90 atar = 99.95 uai,,
so if the system didnt change,, then yeah,, i wouldve had more change of getting comibned med,,
gah x__x
iuno,,
it doesnt matter anymore anyway,, nothing we can do about it

Yowch, bad luck dude. But as you say, there's nothing you can do about it, so it's not worth worrying about.
