we will be ranked based on our cohort?
how is this different from any other year?
I think that the ATAR thing is an EXCELLENT idea personally. But what about non-school leavers like me who stuffed up and got into a course that they dont like and have a UAI and are re-applying through UAC- then what happens?

They apply in exactly the same way that they would have applied to UAIs.

I think it's rubbish and a waste of notification letters, but that's probably just because I don't really get it, either.

I went to a selective school until the end of Prelim, did one year of Pathways HSC via Distance Education (poorly), and am finishing my HSC at TAFE (barely). If they're comparing me with obsessive 99.5-ers, I'm doomed.




You wanna get something out of this, Buffy? You'll do the same. You put the work in, and ten years from now, you'll be where I am.
I promise you.
