Wow.... For those that cbf to click the link it basically says that people think the UAI as an entrance indicator for university is soon to be removed in order lei for other criteria and that the government wants more people in university so they are making the number of places in there unlimited.

old news, seriously.



edit: as in, this was discussed here on the forums months ago.

This is in the far far future for us kids.

more people in uni - not necessarily smarter country. just dumber people to compete with ie more chance of pot luck/loss. personally, think this is unrealistic and not really going to happen.

Imagine the number of people applying for Medicine and Law degrees... Labor have to get this one right before letting this plan roll out.

About time they place less emphasis on UAI. It really doesn't correlate with performance at uni at all

Yeh, i pretty much hate the UAI.. like seriously.. all this crap with subjects scaling you down

My best friends brother who finished last year got his HSC results, all his subjects were 80+ in marks, so low 80's- high 80's.

He got his UAI, 68.95, When he saw those numbers, it was like his most demoralizing moment for him ever!
He was seriously a smart guy, just the subjects dragged his UAI down...

he did gen maths, stnd english, pdhpe, biology and something else :S...
but still, I wish they could just base ur UAI on the marks u get, and the scaled marks ( that is scaled marks upwards)... sclaing down is sooo wrong...
All this crap to make a fair level in difference between the smart and dumb.
ahh makes me angry... ><

i just wish i did IB...

but... i went to uni knowing the deadbeats WOULDNT be following me.

not to mention the fact that the restrictions mean the resources of the university arent completely overstretched.

GG Australia. Why not just remove primary/secondary education altogether while we're at it?

And this is why the Labor party have no clue on how to run the economy.

 

[sifsosakenscrub]

the uai entrance is low enough as it is

we have enough shit cunts in uni as it is

 

[the-derivative]

Stupid policy.

Also unfair for those who missed out in previous years.

 

[lychnobity]

Stupid move. Fucking Labor - I knew having a lawyer running the country was a bad idea.

shouldn't ever need to worry about med... umat/interview as well as the sheer difficulty of the course will keep undeserving students out.

 

[dwarven]

but they seriously cant expect to enroll EVERYONE?
