Hey, I go to USYD and I didn't get any scholarships from the uni itself when I first applied - had the similar story of being shortlisted and then rejected - apparently only 1 or 2 are offered in my faculty. I did end up receiving a scholarship from my residential college though, so you...

That statement doesn't even make any sense...

Just got my first year timetable and its 5 days a week, most days are 9-5pm

yes, they all go hand in hand, you cant have one without the other, and naturally, mathematics is the basis to them all.

I did 3... Biology, Chemistry and Earth. I couldn't do physics at my school because it ran on the same line as Bio...:mad1: This discussion looks like its going to turn into one of "Physics is better than Biology - Biology is better than physics...":bomb:

This is exactly right. I made my own summary that is 160 pages long, covering 3 cores and the option of communication. But then I had smaller, brief notes which I used as part of my preparation for the HSC - like reading my big summary and making smaller notes from it - key points, diagrams...

hi, I have a fantastic biology dot point summary (MS Word doc) that is about 160 pages long and covers all 3 core topics and the option, communication. I am selling it via a CD-ROM for $15 plus postage. I wrote/compiled the whole thing myself, plus I have OTEN Notes and other stuff that I...

Just give me the book already!

Wooo! I got offered a Bachelor of Veterinary Science! MY 1st PREFERENCE! :rofl:

Our school was the same. The student who was ranked 1st only got 89 despite getting 100% in the Trial. So figure that out. I was ranked 3rd and I got 83, which I was happy with, but then people who were ranked in the 20s got the same mark. English seems to be impossible to get a band 6, so...

I only got a HSC mark of 80 but I ended up with a UAI of 98.5! So I'm happy and I know for sure that Ext 2 contributed to that UAI. How awesome!

I went to a public school and I ended up with a UAI of 98.5. Our school performed very well and we had plenty of UAIs in the 90s. I'm glad I never went to a selective or private school now. My School: Henry Kendall High School

I'm Over the Moon!! UAI: 98.5

:)

Mine weren't scaled at all. They just gave us our raw marks and then a rank, which sounds similar to you. It looks kind of stupid tho when I topped my maths ext 2 trial, but there is a crap mark next to it, so I suppose some schools would scale them. I wonder how they do it tho. It doesnt seem...

I didn't leave early, I was the last to leave!:rofl:

Yeah thats the case with all the sciences. And as always, it comes down to a ridiculous marking criteria that makes it impossible to predict what to put in your answers...

I did 13 pages I think, so about 1 and a half booklets and I did communication. I just remembered something I should have put in for the 7 marker tho... AHH WELL ITS OVERRRRR....

Yeah I did the same. Then I talked about why it needed to be changed...WHO KNOWS!
