Hmmm, that's stupid. By the way, I'd be happy with anything over 98. If I get less than about 96, I'll be pretty disappointed.

not a bad strategy - get the high UAI, get the good uni degree/job, make the big money and then all your gf problems will be solved


ps, you might want to learn how to spell if 85 isnt appealing to you
You are so hard to impress,

and we love you for it.

I'm happy with an OP 1 :D But if I had to have a UAI, I'd want 99+, and be content with 96+

Same here :). A 99.5+ realistically I'd be absolutely ecstatic! A 99+, I'd still be very happy with joy :D And a 95+, I'll be content :), but getting into Med will be quite difficult, depending on UMAT and interview. I won't suicide like Foram though...that's sad :(.

UAI is simply the measure of how smart/hard you worked. If I get UAI of 30, I probably deserve it. If I get UAI of 99+, I probably deserve it too.

I will be happy with anything as long as I know I worked my best. On top of that, I already have the advantage of EAS (I am quite sure) and the courses that I wish to enrol don't all require high UAI.

What's EAS? :)

That's the same with me about the courses. I mean, I don't want to do medicine or law or anything fancy like that... The only problem is that I want to go to uni interstate somewhere (don't really care where) and it would be hard to justify that to my parents if I get a bad OP. Slash UAI because they'd need to convert it to something so I could actually get into uni interstate. Or something :)

Education Access Scheme. This is designed for those who are academically disadvantaged. My learning for Englishw as disrupted since I came to Australia roughly about 3 years ago. Therefore, I am deemed as a 'non-English speaker' and I am entitled to extra 5 bonus points when it comes to university course selection.

i go to the same school as foram and the expectations of the school are enormous... im in my hsc year and its really intense but i think they try and make you realise its about all that you can do. personally i want 96+ UAI, would be happy with 85+ but disappointed, very disappointed with <80 because i have the potential for 99+. i think going to a selective school really skews our views on these things... so... give him a chance.

Well, South Korea. I absobred into 'mainstream Australian society' quite quickly. I am not like South Korean now. :mad:

EDIT: It's not necessarily 5 bonus UAI. It's just that you can get into university course that is 5 UAI higher than the UAI that you got (excepting the few university courses like Medicine).

When did you come to Australia? You must have come to Australia after you enrolled in year 7 to take advantage of that reason.
