100% agreed Few points: - I went to a top 5 selective school, teachers weren't all great, everyone relied on external tutoring courses - Going to a top tier selective school does not guarantee high marks. There was a roughly 10 mark difference between my internal and external mark for english...

I went to a top 5 selective high school (2017) and ranked bottom 20% for all my subjects. I ended up with a 90.30 ATAR (tbh my external marks were far better than internal, e.g. for eng ext 1, there was about a gap of 8 marks between my external and internal score). Hopefully this gives you...

Hmmm, put it this way: You're going to uni - to (hopefully) learn and be best prepared to work in the IT industry. Alongside every other student in the course (regardless of experience/background) - you'll be learning everything from scratch on Day 1. So nope, you're not expected to have IT...

imo it's a case of 'you get out what you put in' - every uni has some form of social life. From my experience with the Eng/IT faculty, you end up bonding with other people over getting through some really crappy assignments anyway Get involved with different things (societies etc) and you'll...

For reference, I got around 250 and didn't finish any of the exams :) From memory I had 8-10 questions left for GA and I was sooo worried about it Although this was like 9 years ago (what the heck) so who knows how it is now

so excited for y'all 💕 congrats!

Did you mean the final result/offer? They called me up the same day the ATAR came out, before sending me an email on the same day. A lot of people got their offer mid January though, after the first round. If you do get an offer, HMU! We usually organise events/initiatives for new BIT students...

I got my results 2 weeks after my interview :) Good luck everyone!

TRUE HAHAHA duuuude I stayed up to cram for one of the many annoying info sys subjects

I went to both, and my rank went up from bottom in year 11 (from going Matrix ((((: I went there from year 7 onwards ) to top 5 in early Year 12 (from going Sigma!!!) Matrix was alright, however some of the tutors were super questionable when it came to explaining things, which is probably why...

lmao it's 3am so will write better answer later but they're looking for transferable skills like leadership, teamwork, but the #1 thing is how keen you are to learn. That's been a big trend in my cohort - not a lot of people with previous technical experience (there are a few though - amazing...

i lov uts :inlove:

Lmao I get where you're coming from bc it was the exact same thing w the unsw coop for me (I wanted UNSW bc my family has always gone there so more of a tradition, got through all the rounds but due to my lower atar, I had to go through seeing my friends (with absolutely no interest in tech...

OMGGGGGG gurl it's amazing, congrats! You'll get sent an info package in a few days (probs Thursday), it has all the deets in it and stuff about what current students think of it But yeah, it's a really tight knit and supportive cohort that's rare across every degree in every university, it'll...

o lmao nvm I realised the site says 'This course is only offered to new international students. Local students in an existing UTS course may be able to transfer into it.' lmfao wtf but yeah it's stupid bc lots of ppl have so much trouble trying to find internships that they end up...

That's strange, a few of my friends transferred from the 5 year degree to the 4 year degree and they're all domestic students.

I'm incredibly biased toward UTS so I'm probably the worst person to ask :') Also, the 5 year degree is only when you include the Diploma of Prof Practice. There's also a 4 year version! https://www.uts.edu.au/future-students/find-a-course/bachelor-engineering-honours I think the Software...

Being the person w the lowest ATAR from my selective high school in my year, I know what you mean. But regardless of what mark people get - nothing makes anyone's opinion/emotions invalid. Think about it: these kids have tried their absolute hardest, they can't help how they feel - it's just...
