UAI = University Admissions Index . It's a rank, and if marks are generally higher it means you will need a higher aggregate to get a given UAI in 2002 than you needed in 2001. Whether this UAI then gets you into a course depends on supply and demand, not on the marks that were used to calculate it.
The UAI is a rank. Hence only a certain number of people can get over 99 every year. That doesn't change.Originally posted by mp3mojo
u serious?
cos i thought the new UAI system doesnt limit the nuber of ppl gettin a particular UAI
since if only the top 1% ppl can get 99 dat means there is a limited amount of ppl dat can get 99
am i rite?... so confused about the entire system
Under the BOS system, if everyone meets the Band 6 standard then everyone can get into band 6. Of course this will not always be the case. Yes you are correct with respect to HSC marks but with the UAI there is only a specific number of ppl who can get 99+ or 90+.
That's not bad Christine, what did you need ? What Uni and what course were you wanting to go into ?
Thats not *entirely* true. The UAI is a rank of each person against everyone who completed the School Certificate, NOT the Higher School Certificate. That means that 99+ is more like the top 1.6% and the top ten % is about UAI 93.7-100.00
Well... theoretically, if the top 400 people were all sitting on exactly the same scaled aggregate, they'd have to give them all 100. But that would never happen.
Its got nothing to do with what the *drop outs* would have got, because its a percentile rank, not a criterion based rank
i guess ... but i was refering to some earlier post ... where they said it was a percentile rank compared to all the people who did the sc with you ... and since some people didnt complete the hsc, the percentile rank for those that did finish *would* be higher ... which really isnt the case ...
