Yes because it affects more than just yourself, also wouldn't it be rewarding to still get admirable hsc marks/atar? i mean, you do you but i don't see any downsides to actually trying
last year I received early offers I was contempt with however, I found the drive and motivation to keep going more so about showing myself how well I could do ... having something to show for, however jovial, for the efforts I had put in over the years
yes because ive made it my mission to get into courses id like to do should i not take the offers ive received (my situation is a little different tbh because i got into a high end cadetship but same same)
i really want to be happy with what i get and also it will feel so rewarding to get an atar that actually reflects all of the work ive put into school in the last two years especially
