unsw gateway program - early offer (2 Viewers)

[breadison]

Hey guys,

I have a quick question. For the UNSW gateway program, do they actually check your year 11 marks? Or is it more so your personal statement. Right now, I want to apply for double law at UNSW but my year 11 marks aren’t looking too great. However, my friend says they don’t necessarily check your marks, but your personal statement more. Could anyone provide clarification? Thank you

Can you change them? Don't stress over things you can't change - it's meaningless

do you have any experience with the UNSW gateway program? Like do you need a standout report (All A's) or can an average one (2-3 A's 3-4 B"s) + good personal statement be good enough?

you may as well just give it a shot regardless of your year 11 marks, youll never know unless you try. What are your grades like anyway? maybe thatll give a clearer indication to someone who has experience with the program

I honestly expected so much more from legal and adv maths but prelims screwed me over so badly.

damn fr? my careers advisor said he has seen literal idiots get an offer. But law is a highly competitive course so that's why I'm a bit worried

dont put time into worrying, write a great personal statement and apply - then focus on lifting the grades you arent happy with to maximise ur atar in yr 12

yeah, I get that but I want to maximise all my opportunities, including this one. My grades aren't finalised yet so that's why I'm wondering if my grades right now are substantial or do I need more

what more do you mean? theres nothing you can do to boost your grade after your final assessment task in yr11, youre starting the hsc course next term, in what way are the grades still being finalised?

Being fr, its unlikely you'll get into law at UNSW, its hella competitive, but that doesn't mean you don't try. Nothing is impossible.

understandable tbh, but do you know anything about the conditional offers at unsw?
