Looking at doing B A / B Ed at UNSW.

Well, it's frustrating to know that in 3 of my subjects, I was 2 marks away from if not topping the state, then getting a much, much higher ranking. And getting 89, on the brink, for English. But in the end, they're only little things and I'm still stoked.

First preference = one you most want to get into.

Exactly. And there's nothing wrong with people posting and being proud of their marks. Just because others didn't do so well doesn't mean you should hide or downplay what you got. The UAI is a rank, there can only be so many people in each position. At the end of the day, if someone doesn't want...

You did do well! See that's just it, I know everyone compares themselves, but no matter who you are, there's always someone smarter than you and someone who does better than you and people who do worse. You're still what, top 20% of the state? If you feel you've done your best, then don't be...

Well this has been talked about a lot before, but a lot of the above people were on here all year, using resources and sharing knowledge in the other forums. Whereas there might not be so many people in the UAI threads representing the <30 category, because most of those people didn't utilise...

So if you get the offer on the 18th, how long does it take to accept? Can you do it online and have it all sorted on the same day? I'm just a bit confused about what to do because on 20th Jan, I'm going to live in Germany for a year. Obviously I'll need to accept my offer and quickly defer...

I guess people who commit suicide over something like the HSC can't step back and see the big picture. What's the worst that can result from a bad mark? Shame from the family? Being kicked out? Your family should love you unconditionally and it's really horrible if that doesn't happen, but...

You have the exact same thing going on as me. I wanted to become a language teacher by doing a BA/BEd at UNSW, which has a cut-off of around 78, and my UAI was 99.65. Of course, I'm going to go through the UAC guide and see if there are any other courses I'd like, but I was planning on sorting...

Yeah Sweets, that's exactly how I feel. Congrats on your excellent marks and ranking btw.

Well I'm sorry that you're worrying and I do hope you'll get in whichever course you're aiming for. You did really well. By the same token, there are probably a lot of people who would say the same thing about you. But this thread is about how our parents reacted, not our own reactions. (I'm...

My parents are really happy for me now, they know I secretly wanted to be dux. They're a little lacking in the celebrations department though. 'Something special for dinner' is likely to be pizza and it was my friend's mum who bought me flowers.

I think I'm dux of Henry KendallHS with 99.65

I never paid anyone for outside tuition, but you can bet your arse that I made the most of my teachers' expertise. When I had questions, I asked. I was going to get a tutor for biology because I wanted to study a different option (genetics) to my class (communication) but my teacher and the...

Oh excellent, I get it then :D

Seemed OK about it, today hasn't been the best day though because they had the shits as the house isn't clean. I'm just looking forward to Monday when I can see my teachers - they're the parental figures who will be more proud of me. :D

Wait, isn't it 10 units of band 6s, with at least 2u being from English?

Me with my normal, no extentions, easy maths subjects: Eng 89 Geog 92 Bio 96 Modern 96 General 98 German cont 98 UAI: 99.65

SAM: 99.65 [UAI: 99.80 Actual: 99.65 <-- confirming what we know, that SAM is the most accurate thing around
