Am I Doomed To Receive A Bad UAI? (1 Viewer)

[Nescient]

imagine trying to understand that stoned?!

a good UAI = one that let u do ur 1st UAC preference

a bad UAI = one that didnt

 

[Estel]

Under that definition 100 is potentially a bad UAI.

besides med, pharmacy and any other course that have other criteria for entry...

Apparently General maths can pull you down if you only have 10 units

General maths is capped and has a terrible scaling, why didn't you do 2-Unit if you wanted to maximise your chances of getting a great UAI - or do no maths at all - or do more than 10 units

Edit: I checked your profile and you do 13 units; why do you care? blehz

a good uai is 99.6-99.7+ as you can get into most courses

I am in the top 5 of all of my classes.

Can somebody explain 'scaling' and whether or not I am doomed at receiving a bad UAI due to my subject selections?

my friend last year did general maths, legal, modern history, advanced english and biz studies. his uai was >95 (he was in top 10 in all of his classes)

another friend did general maths, legal studies, biz studies, economics, standard english. and his uai was >96. (he was in top 5 of all of his classes)

so...anythings possible...and none of these ppl went to selective schools

why would you need a 99.6 UAI when all you want to do is SE Eng or architecture or etc... esp as the purpose of uni is to set urself for a particular career paths and ur future employer isnt gonna care about your UAI received quite a long time ago....

General is capped , why would anyone invent the notion of capping if it didn't exist? It does exist - and General is obviously one of the few subjects it applies to- I still don't understand anybody picking that subject, if you are so inept at maths don't do it - it is a prerequisite for nothing

The capping of courses is explained in this thread.
