Stop making assumptions. He never said 'UAI=Intelligence'. He said that generally a lower level of UAI marks = lower performing students (in school). Thus, one can easily make the assumption that these students perform lower in uni as they have less motivation and drive. There will, of course, be exceptions. However, generally speaking, the students that go to UWS are lower performers.LaraB said:yes that's all well and good, but that doesn't 'prove' anything as the people who generally believe this UAI=intelligence crap are either School students or "early year" uni students... what they think does not equate to what employers think and since this thread was about whether you'll be disadvantages going to uws.. unless you are the most emotional person in the world, you won't be disadvanatged by this perception of school students and the like... the only disadvantage will be to your ego or whatever and that wasn't really what this topic was about....
besides - if you are worried about that - since people think UAI=intelligence, just tell them your UAI yes there's a lot of lower UAI's at UWS but equally there's a lot of 90+s despite popular belief.... and then there's those students who are postgrads etc who did their original degree at the so called "smarter" unis but chose UWS for their postgrad degree for whatever reason...
there's dozens of ways to quell that myth with just one simple sentence...
(Edit: oh and I don't believe UAI = intelligence either, as I can give you empirical proof as to why it only tests ONE type of intelligence and that others exist as well - plus there's philosophical inferences into intelligence as well that exist.)
As for postgrad, students will primarily only pick UWS as it's cheap or they can't get into the other institutions. I would love to hear someone do an MBA at UWS willingly
