Yes, UNSW is first preference but the atar aim is a bit high IMO, so UTS offers bonus schemes for me and i am eligible for some flexible entry pathways, similar USYD offers e12 for my school. My preference are UNSW>UTS>USYD. also my parents are pretty strict on me to try and get a scholarship so i get work with my degree. any1 flexible entry pathways to UNSW? and scholarship lists?
You are still in year 11 so you have plenty of time to do well in HSC.
Have you looked into applying for co-op at UNSW?
You need a 96 ATAR but I was applying with knowledge that I could have gotten an ATAR in the 80's.
I did actually get the ATAR requirement however I did not get offered an interview but that's another story altogether. But yeah you should apply for it if you think you can get to 90 possibly. There are quite a few scholarships at UNSW which you could get but they are discipline specific ones so yeah depends on where you are going.
Man if my parents were like that I wouldn't be doing electrical. That would suck though tbh.
I still can't help you on the front of UTS or USyd.
