    Ursula Hall

    Not sure how many places we give each year, but as a rough guess I'd say 70-90 out of ~200 people overall. There doesn't seem to be any particular preference for courses from what I can tell. Proportion of domestic to international students is probably 70-30 or something like that, it seems...

    Raw Marks

    Gah, they're broken again?!? I'll fix them up at some point.

    Is the ATAR really a ranking?

    Yep, you're compared to your year 7 cohort. The reason for this is to account for changes in the dropout rate so that ATARs from one year can be compared against ATARs from another year.

    raw mark scaling.

    If you're talking about what aligned mark you'd get if you got 92% raw, then the answer is: it depends. Mark alignment changes every year depending on the difficulty of the exam, and scaling changes every year depending on the cohort.

    How do rankings of schools affect your HSC mark?

    What Shadowdude said, this is completely wrong.

    Universities and Degrees

    For a professionally accredited degree like Nursing, they're all externally examined by various authorities to ensure the course matches with professional requirements. However, this doesn't mean they're all the same quality - merely that they all meet a certain minimum standard. Yes, the core...

    Can I still get a decent English rank with bad assesment marks?

    And just remember, even if you end up doing awfully in all your assessments and at the bottom of your year, your assessment mark is only half your HSC mark - whatever you get in the HSC exam is yours regardless of rank or anything else.

    Faculty of Asia-Pacific?

    The ANU College of Asia and the Pacific has an excellent reputation, from what I hear we are one of the best in Australia for Asia-Pacific stuff. Plenty of exchange programs on offer - you can do the Year-in-Asia, or otherwise we have a pretty accessible Student Mobility Program for organising...

    2012 Hopeful

    Depends on the exact nature of the EAS application, but I guess so. You can also do uniTEST to get a few bonus points.

    In a double degree, can you do 2 majors for each degree?? or is there a max?

    Depends on the uni and the exact policies. I'm registered for two Arts majors and a Science double major.

    You'd want to check with UAC. Have a look at the EAS booklet: http://www.uac.edu.au/documents/publications/eas-booklet.pdf

    ANU uni test

    I believe the idea is that they award you bonus ATAR points depending on your score, so presumably you'd be able to work out your exact entry rank from your test results.

    Doing a double degree is like doing a single degree with twice as many electives, so you get more breadth if anything...

    ATAR for PhB @ ANU

    The ATAR is calculated over your results in all your subjects. It's a bit different in the ACT (I presume you're Canberran) than in NSW (where most of us on this forum are from) but to achieve 99 you do need to perform well generally. There's no one way to study. It all depends on what methods...

    What is your WAM?

    2nd year, BA/BSc @ ANU. We don't use WAM or GPA, just plain old averages. Current average is 80.73, which at ANU is considered a High Distinction.

    ANU uni test

    I've never done it but I believe it's an ACER test and there's more info on the ACER site about it. I don't know anyone who's actually done it, it's not a particularly common entry pathway.

    ANU Chatter Thread

    Re: ANU 2011 Semester 1 Chatter Thread Indeed, I have better things to do with my rather limited number of Science units I can take, like maths. COMP2310 + MATH2322 = doom. :|

    ANU doesn't offer undergrad Medicine - only a handful of unis like UNSW do that now.
