I'd rather all rounders, but state ranking a subject is a lot more prestigious...
Definitely not.I'd say both are credible.
When you get to uni these are the only things which you could probably still boast about. ATAR is barely talked about (Have not been asked once this whole semester and I've spoken to probably 50-100 people).
Just goes to show how once you get to uni no-one cares what marks you achieved in school.Definitely not.
....... Speaks for it's self. probably arts studentsmfw 5 weeks into uni, the white people in the lecture in front of me are discussing the texts they each did for the modules

ikr, stupid white people....... Speaks for it's self. probably arts students
yep thats right. the ones that were asking "what atar did you get", "you only got X mark in Y subject!, filthy" i didn't and wouldn't want to be friends with anywaysJust goes to show how once you get to uni no-one cares what marks you achieved in school.
People who treat the HSC as anything other than a test of how much you actually gave a fuck in year 12, lol.yep thats right. the ones that were asking "what atar did you get", "you only got X mark in Y subject!, filthy" i didn't and wouldn't want to be friends with anyways
we still ended up in the same place.
i can't believe that people spend upwards of $5-10K just to do good in year 11/12 and in the end they end up sitting next to some random black guy in the same lecture theater at the same uni doing the same course and in some cases that black guy out preformed them because they couldn't rely on the tutor they don't have anymorePeople who treat the HSC as anything other than a test of how much you actually gave a fuck in year 12, lol.
I'd rate a state ranking as being harder to achieve depending on the subject. I'd personally prefer all-rounders, but I guess it really depends on the person.
Either way, the prestige lasts for about two weeks after you get your results, then it fades (personal satisfaction lasts longer though).
faken lel^^^^
Either achievement is great and i'm sure you'll be proud of yourself. As enoil said though, its more of a personal achievement type of thing rather than for the prestige. Brag about it at uni and you'll look like a basement (obliviousninja etc)
ON still brags about his non-existent state rank.[/B]

I too hope to make it on the Deans Honours listFk state ranks, see you at the dean's list event night niqs
Not sure if srsAll rounder is piss easy. State rank is crazy hard
EDIT: dean's list is easier than both...
100% seriousNot sure if srs
Really....? 75 WAM?100% serious
To be an all-rounder, you just have to do well in most of your subjects. There are no limitations on how many people get it, so it's not competitive. I know plenty of students who were good but not great in their subjects, who got all-rounders with marks in the low 90s.
To get a state rank, particularly in a competitive subject, you need to be one of the best in the state in that subject. There are 5-20 slots available per subject. Enough said.
Dean's list is just pathetic. You can get on the dean's list in e.g. engineering with a WAM of 75. Are you kidding me?! That's the credit/distinction cutoff! That's the ATAR equivalent of like 80! How can you even compare that to a state rank?! The number of Dean's list achievers is absurd. They should have a list for people who are actually among the top. HD WAM at least.

EDIT: but yeah .95 is more prestigious than all of these. In the US system, an SAT perfect score is rarer than .95 but the test itself is crap so in my eyes it's less prestigious.
