I live near sawtell beach (boambee to be precise) about a 7 minute drive from there. I go there quite often when I'm bored which has been the case for 6 weeks now :)

I reckon majoring in actuarial studies at UNSW under commerce is just as good as macquarie. Plus they have an advanced science program which is also good (lots of major choices).

I'm doing a B commerce/ B advanced science at UNSW, I'll easy get in as I only need 94.5 and I got 98.5, can't see it rising 4 points based on recent trends. It is also very flexible in what you can major in as well (so many options which is what I like). :cool:

Yeah that's it, I went horse riding at raleigh, scary at first, but I loved the carts there, I love driving :) . Didn't know that u could go sky-diving at Coffs.......interesting. U must have had a few curious onlookers with your hair died pink hehe :D

I'm hoping to do actuarial studies at either UNSW or macquaire and if the cut-off is 99+ I'm stuffed.

Yeah I know which resort you mean. Don't know about the beach though, most of the Coffs' beaches are pretty good. You must have gone to the raleigh raceway, I go there all the time, great fun. The only thing I like about the Big Banana are the toboggan rides, but now they are too expensive...

lol yeah, I live kind of close to the beach so I've been down there quite a bit. Coffs Harbour is a good place to visit and have fun, but when u live here it's a different story, boredom sinks in. 5 mins north of Coffs, you must have been at moonee beach then, they have a camping/cararvan park...

No, u can change your preferences up until midnight of 4th january

I wouldn't bother with a clerical recheck. Just be happy with what you got and thats it. As others have mentioned your mark could also go down as a result of a recheck, which would only add to your depression. The whole thing seems like a BOS money making scheme to me

Actually, I am originally from sydney so I am in exile at the moment at Coffs Harbour (lived here for 5 years now). hmm, didn't know coffs had schoolies, news to me hehe.

Congratulations AstralGal, as long as you are happy with your UAI and you can get into the course that you want to do, that is all that matters. :D

Business is bad, the rest are all very good scaling subjects. I don't think u should be that worried about scaling - cause if u don't come in the top 25-50% of the state in those good scaled subjects, u won't get any benefit and will in fact be scaled down.

That's not true. I reckon all those people who get UAI of 95+ are talented to some degree and are also hard-working. U won't find anyone who scores a really high UAI and isn't talented to some extent. Being an ex-HSC student, I would say that the HSC is 60% talent, 40% work. I've seen heaps...

What UAI did u get jessika?

I went to a coffs harbour school which is kind of regional and got 98.5. Atleast I can get into the course I want to do yay :D

Thats the course that I'm going to do as long as the cut-off doesn't go up! The 2002 cut-off was 98.1, and I got 98.5 so hopefully I can get in. I thought u would be doing law as well since u got the UAI to be able to do combined law. do u think the sydney uni's mathematics department is...

What UAI did u end up getting?

hmmm they didn't publish my accelerated mathematics extension 1 result where I scored 95 (E4) in 2001 on this year's list. But I guess I got mentioned for it last year. Yeah for those who only do 3 unit it should be mathematics extension 1 1 unit not 2 units. Thats only for 4 unit students.

Totally agree with you there lazarus. Also, if you look at the UAC document for 2002 distribution of scaled marks, it can be seen that ext. 2 maths scaled no where near as good as was the case last year. hmm perhaps that is why my UAI appeared lower than I thought cause I was counting on good...

B science (advanced mathematics) at Sydney uni OR B commerce/B science at UNSW
