Congrats on finishing the hsc and getting your UAI's everyone! Seeing that we use the UAI to decide what uni we go to, im sure everyone's already compared their UAI to their desired course lol.

I feel so jipped when i look at my UAI and compare it to how much i need! i got 89.05 UAI and needed 90.2 UAI to get into Commerce at UNSW (i got band 5 in 2umaths and 2eng and e4 in 3eng, to get the 5+ HSCPLUS points lol).

Anyone else just scrape what they really wanted?? And if you did, Best of luck in getting in!!! =D

(Edit: As Rafy pointed out we dont know our cut-offs, but compared to last years one how did you go lol?)

Not necessarily. If everyone decides they want to do an education degree and no one wants commerce, entrance marks will change dramatically.

<3 Rafinator.
in that case would it increase or decrease for the education degree?

hey how do you know what you got, for example you said you got band 5 in 2Unit Maths, how you know that? I wasn't told of my HSC marks.

Missed out on Medicine at Newcastle by 3.8, and from what I've heard the cutoff doesn't change from year to year. I'm one of the only ones in my grade who didn't get what they needed.

I missed out by 3 for the uni I really wanted to do the course at, my first preference. But from last year's cut off's I'm about 8 points over the cut off for my second preference, which if I get an offer there, will still mean I'm be able to move out of this hole =]
So hopefully it will be okay.

Needed 99 for Medicine at UNSW, (because of average UMAT). Ended up with 97.35, although I didn't ever really expect to get 99.
