Sweet, free breakfast. :) If it's for anyone with an UAI of >98, then they must have invited quite a lot of people. So much for "beating the crowd".

I think it was an extremely enjoyable read, but still fiction. It's quite amusing how some people actually bothered going to France to see where the Holy Grail (according to Dan Brown's book) lay.

The Da Vinci Code has been made into a movie already! Tom Hanks is Langdon, and Audrey Tatau is Sophie.

Oh damn. Well, you might have to splash out on the real stuff. :p

What would be the cut-off? Above 98?

That's quite pretty, but I don't really like the string. Personally I'd want something I don't have to take off when I shower. I don't know what your girlfriend likes, but I've seen prettier pendants. I'll tell you what I like? :p Iceland Stud Pierced Earrings Sweet Colours Pierced...

What?! Of course it does.

SC: School Certificate, completed at the end of year 10. HSC: Higher School Certificate, completed at the end of year 12. Lol, crap explanation. :p

I didn't carve it in my arm or anything, but something as stupid and careless as that deserves to be bitterly remembered. I could have easily had 94, not that it matters cause it was just the SC. :p

Well she sounds like a waste of feelings. :rolleyes: Seems to me she's one of those girls who's into the "catch-and-release" game. Her goal is to make you fall for her. Once that goal is reached, she moves on to the next one. She also seems to have fun leading you on. Stay away from her!

SC: 3 band 6, 2 band 5 HSC: 2 band 6, 1 band E4, 1 band 5, 1 band E3 Maths: SC - 96, HSC - 95 Science: SC - 89 (I didn't see the 5-marker on abiotic and biotic), HSC (Chemistry) - 93 So pretty much the same, I suppose. KFunk, what was your UAI?

ROFL!!! My parents, well, grandparents used exactly the same thing. After awhile I realised no policemen ever came, so I stopped believing them. Go Asian parents. :p

98.20, enough for USyd Pharmacy, I think. What was yours?

Yeah, that's like me. My parents were pushing me like mad until year 12. I think they almost gave up, then strangely enough, I came to realise that there was a reason to all their pushing, and started studying hard without them saying a word. There's always going to be a point where...

I wouldn't call him Reprise a bad parent. Anyone who cares about his or her child's feelings shouldn't be dubbed a bad parent. However I do agree with MarsBarz that your child needs to be pushed more. Of course, as a parent you don't want to place too much pressure on your child or upset...

Not motivated, lazy but still capable? Yeah, and in a few years it would be "I could have passed, I could have had a distinction. I was just lazy, but don't worry, I could have done it". It's generally fair to assume that the students who perform poorly in the HSC will do the same at uni...

The teacher should be blamed for not doing his or her job, but you can't rely only on teachers. It's not smart to just sit back and bludge only because the teacher's not there. Your teacher isn't going to be affected by your UAI but you are, so do it for yourself, not for them. You should keep...

Hmm, there could be other PHBs, I suppose. :p Yes yes, have a look at all biopolymers and choose the one you find most interesting and easiest to remember. Note that it doesn't make a difference which biopolymer you choose, as long as you provide accurate and sufficient information.

Well, most people want to study a course at a university and the UAI is - maybe not the only - but the easiest and quickest way to get them there. While it's not the case for everyone, the majority of us have more use for our UAI than our marks.

My parents were extremely happy.
