Re: What UAI/course are you aiming for?

No idea, probably aeronautical engineering (space) at Usyd, 99.65.
Although I should aim higher to see if I can get one of those 99.95 courses.

Failing that, there's mechatronic engineering at 98.90. Or science at 80-something?

Re: What UAI/course are you aiming for?

jus a quick suggestion

if u get 99.55, dont do usyd law "just coz i made the cutoff"

or dont do usyd med "just coz i got 99.95, didnt fk the umat too bad, and im not socially retarded enough to fk up an interview"

law is a shit load of reading, and if you're not passionate about it, you wont bother doing the reading, and you wont do very well at all.

personally, i took a course in which i was 4.95 points over, and im still being challenged.

EDIT: Exams coming soon, im fckd. Shouldve gone to lectures.

follow your passions.

remember

"just coz you're hung like a moose doesnt mean you gotta do porn"

Shouldn't stop you from trying.
You never know - you could get that UAI that's needed.
I'll try my best but there is no way of me getting a UAI of 99.65+

Hah, good luck for your exams!!

And THANK YOU for saying this!
I get pretty annoyed when people do the courses purely 'cos they can'. I mean fair enough, 99.9999... but if you're not interested in it then you just won't survive!

Saying this, I actually am still unsure as to what I want to do.

I know I want to get into uni though, Law/Arts if possible.
( What's that, 99 + ? )

Failing that, I have no clue. :p

xo

ps. lol @ moose porn

Re: What UAI/course are you aiming for?

in theory:

mean = 65.
median = 50.
mode = n/a.

because uai is a rank and not a mark:
25% will get a uai greater or equal to of 82.5.
50% will get a uai of greater than 65.
50% will get a uai of less than 65.
25% will get a uai of less than or equal to 47.5.
