Bonus points are not UAI points and so they do not increase it. They change your selection rank at a particular university.

I got a 92.80 (I was going for 95.. maths and bio failed along the way)
My parents were ecstatic, I was slightly disappointed,
But hey, I got into International Science last week :D
