my UAI was 90.25. my first preference was medical science at syd which was 91.05. is there any possibility watsoever that they will lower the mark and accept me?

Last year, a friend of mine recieved a uai of 86 - she wanted to do med science at UNSW, which was 90 something at the time - She got in.

i ot 94.95 and my first pref is med sci too at usyd, which was 91.05 in 07 but in 06 it was 94.00. judging by that it could go up or down with a pretty big margin, jsut depends on the uai of those students who select it. i think unsw med sci is 90. something or 89

Note that Usyd inflates their UAIs in order to give a false sense of popularity or prestige about the course.

So seeing as though you're only behind by around a point, i think you do have a chance of getting in. Unless medical science is very popular that is.

also usyd has a flexible entry scheme so if you got a band 5 or 6 in maths or any other related course they'll automatically consider you if you're 5 points below the cut off. But go check on the website just in case you have to fill in an application form

 

[dcz]

no they won't let you in.

unsw had bonus's last year too.

For Med Sci, you get flexible entry if you:

have achieved results in band 5 in Mathematics and have completed at least Mathematics Ext 1 usually at band E3, and have completed two science subjects (from Chemistry, Biology, Physics) with results at least in band 5.

S1MO, yup that is so true, i know it for a fact that USYD inflates their UAI cutoffs - and similarly, many other unis do the same thing. They do it to make their course look better. hahaa

 

[mzduxx2006]

well i got 2 band 6s in english and modern history

e3 in ext 1 eng (1 mark off e4)

b5 in maths

but i got b4 in all 3 science

 

[MortImmortelle]

you are REALLY close so realistically it is possible Keep your hopes up but at hte same time it is also equally likely that you may not get in....

ugh talk about suspense!! goodluck!

oh really ? gosh i didnt know that.

how much do they bump up the actual cut-offs by then ?

UWS should also bump their UAI cutoffs to get more prestige? or to falsely show the supply/demand of the course?
