I think you have to learn that it's a good writing skill to be able to phrase things so you are putting a point across while still being succinct. Writing a whole page doesn't make your argument seem any more or less intelligent, and it saves the rest of us a lot of time.

If you don't make it in to any courses based on your UAI and you still want in, you'd have to try to gain entry through another avenue, such as as a mature age student. So you should try to be realistic with your choices so you don't miss out, because acceptance based on your UAI is the most...

Jeepers. :(

I think I figured it out... first person is always black for absolutely no good reason whatsoever, and teachers names are also in black. I think... I'll just tell myself that anyway. ;)

Some people chose their career to bring fulfillment and happiness, (as well as earning enough to get by, of course...) while other people find happiness through money...so if thats how they operate, then good for them, I say. And if you know what you want to do, you may as well at least make...

oooh Lamb! I'm still not going though...

Whats wrong with that?

In case your UAI is not high enough. If you just put down 1 course and didn't get in, then you'd be screwed.

I don't see how Kurt Cobain made it in, or at least up so high. (I'm assuming these are meant to be in order?)

Last year in biology we couldn't get any eyes, so our teacher gave us this site, as the next best thing, cos it sorta goes through the process: http://www.exploratorium.edu/learning_studio/cow_eye/

lol-I've read those before but I still laugh. I doubt they would all be true, but I'd love to know how the marker graded their papers if they were!

It depends on how well your school does overall. And it's kinda hard to tell when most of your classes are so small. But my guess is that if you do miss out it would probably only be slightly, so to be on the safe side I think if you just work a bit more in a couple of subjects you should be...

Our school never insisted oh healthy food, but they didn't allow selling coffee, despite a lot of objection. And our school canteen got taken over by a private business after a few years anyway (which was shit cos then everything was twice as expensive), so the school would have no luck...

How does your school even know who the dux is yet? At our school they just based it on who had the highest UAI. They figure it's too hard to work out who is the dux otherwise, since everyone does different subjects that get marked in different ways.

The question is-do you want to make your teachers happy, or the students? Teachers=20 mins speech, filled with quotes, metaphors, and general ravings about the brilliant support from teachers, and how your school is the best ever. Students=2 min speech (so people can get out earlier)...

I had a tough time deciding b/w Pearl Jam and The Smashing Pumpkins...I went with the Pumpkins in the end.

But this thread is fave albums...so it doesn't have to be a "real" band. ;) Don't tease. :(

I think it's cos people might think no one will know of their school...

Good point. And actually "ask" for a prediction, politely, not just "I need a prediction, so get in the kitchen and make me some pie".

ah yay-I thought this was only happening to me. It did it yesterday and the day before, but now it seems to be all good.
