Countdown to ATAR release & ATAR reveal thread (7 Viewers)

speaking of results checks, does anyone else thinks it’s BS you have to order one alongside your examination response? aside from the minuscule horrifying chance of getting a lower mark/atar, i don’t even want a results check! i’m happy with all my marks and it’s an additional $22 on top of the $45 for each subject. literally all i want is a copy of what i wrote but it’s totalling to $221 for three subjects.

I guess they don't want their poor marking practices exposed when we get our marks and paper back

you can still buy your marks until may, where you probably already are accepted into a uni, so ur adjusted atar wont do anything

btw why would you not buy the raw marks report? that's also interesting

 

[WeiWeiMan]

yeah but there's a smh tiktok/article which reports on these kids making a discord group chat to share "math and other problems", implying that they beat them in math

why u put shit marks in ur signature

Why not?

If my UNSW rank for a course is 93.80 and the LSR 2024 was around 88-89, can I expect an offer on the 23rd?

does anyone know when unsw scholarships are released (i applied for gail kelly one). would this be monday alongside offers? or are they randomly released as the committee reviews each one throughout dec-jan?

yeah it is just straight up a way for NESA to prevent too many people from buying them

with results check they have to get a human to check the paper, they could easily automate the process of raw marks report and returning our paper

have you been to their open days or other events? They can help you get a feeling for the campus and if you enjoy it there.

Both USYD and UNSW have great reputations for science and are high in the rankings. Though don't put too much stress on rankings, they aren't always a great representation of the uni as a whole. In saying that, both unis are well-regarded and you will most likely get a high-quality education from both.

Do you have a very specific career or area of interest? If so, look into each unis research in that area; one may have lots of interest/academics that specialise in it. If not, don't worry too much about this. Both will have opportunities and if you have something specific you want to do later, and you can easily move if needed or change unis for honours/post grad

Don't underestimate the value in which uni seems more enjoyable for you. We think so much about education, marks, employability etc, and forget how important it is to enjoy life. If you love uni and life in general, you are much more likely to study and succeed, in turn making you a more employable, high achieving graduate also. Whereas if you hate your uni, you aren't going to study and will fall behind and make everything harder for yourself. For example, imo the usyd campus is MUCH nicer that unsw, its closer/easier for me to get to, and its closer to the rest of the city. I'm going to usyd partially for these small reasons, which add up to a lot more. If you enjoy being on campus and enjoy learning, you will do better. For some, unsw might be more convenient, or there might be other specific factor/groups/events/programs that entice them there. So think about your uni student experience too.

Remember you can get multiple uac offers (as long as you change your preferences), so you can give yourself both options.

As to the advanced science, i would say do it if you can. You can easily drop to the standard b.science if needed, without repercussion. You just continue you're degree, though often with some changes as to advanced units later on. My understanding is that you get different prac classes to the rest and some other advanced units throughout the degree. No harm in at least trying it, but not a huge deal if you don't get in.

Finally, don't stress too much. You have two great options, and things can change later on if needed - uni is a lot more open and flexible than most people seem to think. Good luck! Also have a look at the uni websites, there might be some more events in jan if you want to have a look around each uni

UNSW campus >>>> USYD campus
(that's a fact)

i think it's fair they do a result check but ridiculous that it's 22 bucks it should be less than 10 for sure - same price as raw marks report seems reasonable IMO
they also increased all prices from last year...
