Law UNSW atar (2 Viewers)

[eoaid203]

hey so what do you guys think the required atar will be for UNSW law now that LAT is gone?
99.5 like usyd or just below/above

2025 lowest selection rank: 97.7 + LAT
2026 lowest selection rank: 97.8 + LAT

I think probably 98.50? idk

85 lowest atar

UNSW really taking anyone these days. idk why UNSW is trying to follow a regressive American admissions model.

yes the course is probably easy, but why are u taking someone who clearly did not try in school

1. That was when they had the LAT, so these ppl had to do another test and score well in it. LAT isnt here anymore so the atar will likely increase to 99.5 like usyd right
2. That score is accounting for gateway admissions/ppl that r disadvantaged, ppl that arent disadvantaged still had to make a 98 or smth on top of a 90th percentile LAT. Even medicine at UNSW has a 'lowest atar' of 91.05 which doesn't mean its an easy course to get into, practically no one can get in, since its literally one of the hardest courses to get into besides USYD med (which doesnt even need a ucat so in a way you can say its similar in difficulting since ppl can get 99.95s and still not get into unsw if their LAT isnt good enough).

Actually, Gateway people don't have to sit for the LAT at all, it says. Nor do they have to sit for UCAT which I think is even worse.

Right so i didnt say gateway people did have to sit it, i said ppl that aren't disadvantaged have to sit it, which is fully accurate (until this year).
Reread my message. Gateway isnt "letting anyone in," it accounts for socioeconomic disadvantages that can be more significant than you can really comprehend.

91.05 and "doesnt mean its an easy course to get into" is quite literally an oxymoron. 91.05 is 85th percentile according to UAC data. Yes I am totally aware 91.05 is a gateway score, but the elephant in the room is that they didn't have to sit the UCAT aptitude exam.

Also, that same person who got in with 91.05 if they went to school in a wealthy suburb would probably only get a 93 at max, far away from 97/99, in the same way a 99.95 is vastly different to a 99.00.

If socioeconomic factors were the be all end all as you imply, explain why Knox Grammar, Sydney Grammar, Kings school all have lower band 6s than the top few selective schools (Knox Grammar, Sydney Grammar, Kings School also ALL have a larger student body than the public selective schools)?

Explain why my hs in a upper-middle class suburb north west of sydney performs awfully with less than 20 band 6s? (a majority white school too).

Fun fact: I found many schools on UNSW's gateway school list that had substantially MORE band 6s than my middle class suburb's school, yet my school isn't, even though school is apparently that important to learning those specific schools qualified in the first place? .Put away your far-left identity politics and think rationally, do you genuinely think that's fair

A fucking selective school in blacktown qualifies for gateway, a school that is resourced atleast as well as my comprehensive school in a middle-upper class suburb, yet mine isn't.

A slightly fairer system would be to base gateway qualification status based on family income, but of course that's too rational for far-leftists like you.
