I still don't see that as being very fair
It's for crappy schools. Schools who don't get high UAI's because of teaching difficulties.

It's equity. Get used to it.

UNSW introduced a scholarship policy mirroring USyd 99.95/100, but only for 100s. This is presumably because they weren't attracting enough of them. And its a lame and cheap offer, because they can so afford to give it to 99.95 people as well.

aye that's the course I'm currently doing :)

I guess your theory is right to an extent. Selective schools generally produce students with higher UAIs, and universities do favour people with higher UAIs ofcourse. So what you said is indirectly correct in a funny sort of way.
omgooosh really ^^;
*hi5*

Not really. In USyd you have to do a science degree first, then they let you do med (so it's the same thing as graduate med). You get awarded BSc/MBBS.

UNSW offer straight MBBS.

I'm in first year.

I've been enjoying it so far. The workload isn't too bad, and with a bit of study, it's quite easy to do well (so far). The only subjects to watch out for in first year are statics and dynamics since they have a fairly high failure rate.
