Bonus Points (ATAR) (1 Viewer)

[brenyboi]

Hey i'm just wondering how many bonus points are allocated towards things such as making a regional team for sport or state,nationals etc.

I heard it differers from uni and course, so i'm just wondering if people know generally how many points certain things can get you and more specifically for Law and medicine at UNSW or Law at UTS.

If it changes from sport to sport, then i was wondering about making a regional volleyball team or a state team.

Thanks.

medicine = 0 bonus points
UTS law= 0 bonus points

For UNSW:

Elite Athletes and Performers / Bonus Points - Undergraduate Programs

However,

Undergraduate applicants are eligible to receive up to five bonus points on their ATAR rank (or recognised senior secondary qualification) for entry to most UNSW programs. Bonus points are not available for admission to the Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery program.

So for Law at UNSW at least, the above linked table applies.
Not sure about UTS though.

My friend got into UNSW Law by getting Bonus Points for playing State Volleyball.

medicine allows no bonus points. i think also with many advanced courses. eg. advanced engineering

i know somebody who got into UNSW law with an ATAR of 98.9, for being one of the students nominated by their school principal or something.

I thought UWS give you bonus points if you live locally ?

Only 2 for Medicine. 5 for everything else.

But the 2 for Medicine doesn't really help if you're destined for an ATAR of 95+ already. It doesn't 'increase' your chances - UWS just uses the 95 ATAR (or 93 if you apply for GWS) as a 'threshold', ie, you get over the threshold = you're in. If you get under it, you're out. So pretty much, doesn't matter whether you got 95.05 or 99.95, you're on an even playing field with regards to UWS.

Do the achievements have to be made during your hsc year? for example.. like the musicians section.. say for amus pass, does it have be done this year?

To get the bonus points - yeah, it does. If you did something in Year 8, do you think it affects your ATAR in any way?
