It’s not too good to be true!
A bonus of 5 points is going to be added to the UAC ranks of students that have a UAI of at least 60, did their HSC/IB in 2007 and live in Greater Western Syd (by postcode).
There is also the chance to get bonus points for performing well in specific subjects in your HSC if they relate to your degree. This can be either 5 or 10 bonus points (for this one you also have to live in Greater Western Syd).
The bonus points are awarded AUTOMATICALLY – u don’t have to do a thing. You can get both the subject bonus AND regional bonus points – but the maximum bonus you can receive in total is 10 points.
Have a look at
www.uws.edu.au/admissions - it has the lists of subjects and all the info on bonus points (and the postcodes mentioned above).
