Being able to drive and being able to get a good ATAR are two different abilities. I'm sure failing your P's test doesn't mean you won't do well in the HSC. Think positive! Good luck with everything. :)
But btw, do they set the 4 courses you will have to do first or can you choose? (Maybe that's why I can only search up four out of the eight courses listed? :s)
Hey everyone, I'm trying to enrol into courses and looking at the UNSW Handbook for Optometry, I typed in all the codes for the courses in stage 1 but the search could only find 4 of the courses for my to enrol in.
Is there something I don't know? I'm so confused...
Thanks for any help!
I put in uac number, postcode, date of birth and the uac code of my first two preferences but still get the "Not all the required fields were completed" message. I got a 95+ atar and the AAA scholarship too. :(
Ohh, I see. Hahah, woww so many got ATAR boosts in your year! So much of taking Optom out of the HSC Plus scheme - students still get bonus points somehow.
Anyway, thanks for your help! I'll look into the alternative pathways.
But won't the AAA scholarship change things? 5 bonus points (i.e my atar is then considered as 99.95) and a "guaranteed" spot in any course, except Med, as long as I meet additional criteria (UMAT). I'm just not sure what UMAT would be considered as acceptable. :s
Hoping to get some opinions here...
I am hopeful for a chance in B Optometry/B Science at UNSW and I have also received the AAA scholarship this year. I ended up with an ATAR of 95+ so that doesn't worry me too much but I didn't do too well for my UMAT (I only managed 56 percentile/156/52 raw)...
