I'm in a similar situation, ay_caramba.

Because you are not doing actuarial, i would have thought you have a better chance of getting it. Maybe try call MQ? I did few weeks ago and i was on hold for about 10min before some woman *tried* to help me...she gave me some other number to call which was constantly engaged.

What if someone got 99.50? are they not 'groovy' enough? Do they indeed verge into the realm of the freak-peoples?

99.50+ qualify for the Super Innovation scholarships, i.e. 2.5K per year for the duration of the degree.

So i just got an email back today from some administration:

"Thank you for your recent correspondence about the Innovation Scholarship. It is the University’s policy to consider all applicants to UAC between 98.5 and 99.45 for these awards. However, it is also the University’s policy to spread the awards to all of the different Academic Departments so that one academic area does not dominate over another. You can read more about this on the following link:

http://www.reg.mq.edu.au/Undergrad/Scholarships/2005 ScholarshipsHSC.pdf

The last offer of an Innovation Scholarship to an applicant in the Actuarial Studies area was 99.2. You should be aware that the different Academic Departments around the University do offer scholarships for continuing students (going from 1st year to 2nd for instance). These scholarships are advertised in early September of each year for the following year."


So, i was 0.05 off :( But then..this guy rekns his mate got 99.4 and didnt get anything =p
