You can pay to have your exams re-marked, if you think there have been any errors. You can enter a course full-fee if your UAI is a little below the cut-off.

You cannot buy UAI points.

No. Maybe your getting it mixed up with access UAI's into uni...if you pay the money straight up, the access UAI is lower than what it is if you go on HECs.

If that were the case, their would be 100's of people maybe thousands getting in the 100s. But you can pay full fee to get into high courses that your UAI does not achieve

you probally are getting confused with full-fee university places.

These do NOT change your UAI however.

the UAI cut-off for a full-fee place will be lower only due to the fact ther is usually lower demand for such places. (as UAI cutt-offs are heavily dependent on supply/demand) It is however prevented from falling more than 5 UAI points below the CSP cut-off.

Whatever you've heard about buying a higher UAI is nonsense. Just get it out of your head. :)

thats a good idea actualli.... rooting = extra UAI
i can see alot of sex going on, alot of fornication, alot of babies and alot of money from the government being spent on ppl who have babies RIGHT before election time hahaha

it'd be a good rumour to start tho, we can use that as another reason why the rich schools get a higher level of university entries.... but thats slack :(

cheers

No, thats getting into uni by buying a spot(which has its own limits) it has nothing whatsoever to do with increasing your UAI. This statement below says everything that needs to be said:

I fail to see the difference between USyd's hugely different HECS/Full Fee places and 'buying UAI points'. They're exactly the same; just because you don't get any extra UAI points on a piece of paper makes no difference, as the UAI is (as it explicitly implies) a measurement to get into uni.
