be mindful of the difference between prerequisites and assumed knowledge. at unsw, there aren't prerequisites for engineering so you can (although they ASSUME you've done 3u). though at usyd i'm pretty sure there's prerequisites so you have to take a bridging course to continue with the course. so yeah - you can

thank you!! but the thing is, for eg, person A got a higher ATAR than person b, but person A only did 2u and person B did 3u, will person B be prioritised over person A??

i highly doubt the subject combination to be matter that much

jus curious
Like other people have said, there are bridging courses you can apply for if you don’t do 3U in Year 11/12 and your course requires it. That being said though, for universities like UNSW where it says assumed knowledge, it means that they have the assumption you already understand that level of content. If the course like at USYD says prerequisite, it means you have to have undertaken subject as a course. So make sure you know the difference between the two. But honestly I’d recommend having a bridging course just so you don’t end up being disadvantaged against other students when it starts.

No it doesn't work like that, they only consider your ATAR

For UNSW, you should aim for an ATAR higher than the LSR (Lowest Selection Rank) which you can find here: Admission to UNSW - Future Students - UNSW Sydney

- in relation to the question, “possible to get in?” Yes. Like others said most uni’s now have assumed but not required subjects.
- will you succeed in engineering with 2u math? maybe not. you will definitely need to put in more work than those who have done extension. whether you do a bridging course or put in extra study on calculus and such during the beginning of uni.

you don't need to SR 2u to get 95+ atar???
idk bruh the selection the dude has scale so bad tbh. tbf tho ion know how atar is calculated but I have heard that doing more humanities and low scaling subjects mean its harder to get high atars and given mans got stn eng and now is contemplating going down in math might need him to sr?

i'm sure he can still get a 95+ atar tho without a sr in 2u maths, tho it will obvs be harder to get a 99+ atar without a sr in any of his subjects

i think u overestimate the marks needed for a 95 atar by a lot lol
