lost my pin so i had to wait for it to come in mail...

comes the next day, i read my shitty UAI, put the letter down then proceed to do something unproductive.

Dad walks in: "Did you get your UAI"

Me: "Yeah"
Dad: "Ok"

- awkward silence, dad does something then leaves -

hours pass.. Dad finally comes back

"So what did you get?"

Me: "81.7"
Dad: "Oh... are you going to uni?"
Me: "Yeah"
Dad: "Ok."

My life is awesome.

 

[marcquelle]

all i remember is getting my marks before (see sig) and happy spoke to teachers and all pround of me, the next day got UAI 68.5, broke down crying for ages, my friend rung i asked them how they went, (they got band 2s,3s,4s,5s) they hot 73.78 i was like wtf, i broke down crying for ages, needless to say very upset and distruaght at workt hat night/morning. But repeating is my cure.

 

[Deltan]

I had to check mine at work.

*checks uai - 99.2*

*sits there stunned*

*boss comes in. takes me by the elbow and helps me out. grabs my deck and gives it to me. leads me to door*

*i light a smoke. sit down on the concrete. breathe in. think. cry.*

*sms my deputy principal*

Me: 99.2

*he calls me*

BJ: Sophie are you ok?

Me: *cry*

BJ: It's a wonderful UAI.

Me: *cry*

BJ: You should have applied for EAS!

Me: *cry more*

BJ: Are you going to be ok?

Me: *pulls self together* Yes. Have.. *cry* .. to go ... *cry*... to work. Bye



*co workers walk past and gawk*

Them: Did you get your UAI?

Me: Yes *cry*

Them: *wait expectantly*

Me: 99.2

Them: WHY are you crying?

Me: Law... USYD... Predicted UAI let down... year of hard work... Law!

Them: There are other wa.... no, we'll preach later. You cry, we'll cover for you.

You have a part time job and smoke too? *shock*

Mum nearly died of shock. She thought that I was gonna get like 75 and was praying I'd get over 80 because I'd worked so hard.

Dad was proud, it was around what he expected (he used to be a deputy principal so has some idea about how these things are done).

PS. My UAI was 97 I cracked up when mum said she said she thought i would get 75, with my results i would have cried if that happened.

Didn't you realise from your ranks that you wouldn't get such a UAI?

With the subjects your doing, i would find it hard to believe it would anything less than 80

rofl. that's classic.

 

[b00m]

my brother got 83.45


my dad was really happy

patted him on the back and was, to my surprise, smiling... something he doesnt do too often nowadays

i could've sworn that a year ago he said he'd be very upset if my brother got below 85

 

[gibbo153]

No, no, no, my mum is defn the evil one

both of my parents think i'm going to fail the hsc

dad keeps mentioning programs in the army and stuff and always shares little innocent lines like, "you know tafe is a great option as well"

i don't understand, i'm like well above average at a selective school ranked 20 in the state.

its funny to listen too though.

oh i loved that.

 

[wow!]

It would have required u to do umat...and do very well in umat unless youre hoping on getting into uws and u live in the gws region. Then ur right in the hunt ! For UNSW with that uai umat probably needs to be 190 ish-200.

Even to get into UWS med, you'd still need a very good UAI. competition is still strong no matter which uni it is. Everybody wants to get into med, esp all the asians. My UMAt score was bad but it wasn't that bad and I still got rejected for UWS med before the UAIs came out.

 

[jennieTalia]

Friend via msn: OMG OMG IT'S OPEN READ YOURS NOW
Me: *hands shaking, typing in pin... reads screen. Reads it again*
Friend: WHAT DID U GET????
Me: Uhh *incomprehensible typing*.... blahhsiidhhedbfcjdsan 96.2
Friend: HOLY FUCK
Me: *breaks down, sobbing at computer screen* brb
*rings mum who is conveniently out for checking time*
Mum: Hello?
Me: *between tears* IT'S ME. 96.2!!!
Mum: Woah what... omg *breaks down, sobbing on phone*. Ringing your father. *hangs up*
*Mum gets home*
Mum: Congratulations, I was so worried! (Gee thanks)

*later on*
Dad: *gets home*
Me: did mum tell you about my uai?
Dad: yep.
Me:...
Dad:...... what's for dinner?
Me: *stalks upstairs, rings friends* BRING ON THE ALCOHOL!

*parties parties parties*

Isn't UWS a 95 cutoff.
95 is a lot easier than 99.50 (median for UNSW)

you still have to get ~9x pct UMAT and interview performance is heavily weighted.
