Who got top UAI in course (1 Viewer)

[Korn]

Is their a way to know what the highest UAI of someone in a particular course

 

[Cape]

No, only the person who got their uai will know, unless they told their friends. You could ask everyone in the course but that would take far too long.

 

[MoNNiE]

you can only speculate
or as cape says... ask around~
the highest i've found so far is 99.5 -- lured in by a 10,000$ scholarship

 

[noneother]

Why would you bother? Is it really important to know what someone else scored?

I'm pretty sure I got the lowest UAI for my course...other than fee-paying students anyway....cause i got the exact cut-off mark for my course.

It allows you to gauge the calibre of the ppl you are competing against

but UAI isnt that good of an indication of how a person will go at uni

Its all relative, cause if you got a person who got a UAI of 98.?? competing against someone with a UAI of 80.?? well won't the person with the higher UAI find things easier and get better marks then someone with the lower UAI

 

[Cape]

The uni rank means nothing when you reach uni, you forget about it. And the uai shouldn't be used to measure against the canditure. You might find that a person with a uai of 60 something suits the degree easier than someone with a uai of 99 something. Although, that extreme doesn't usually take place.

ahahaha
im fucking up there

For Information Technology

knew it.

 

[Supra]

well done

I have no idea what most people's UAIs are. Although one of my friends did her HSC in 99 i think and got a fantastic UAI, but didnt want to study.. so she has come back as a mature age student and is having lots of trouble understanding whats going on... My uai was so so and im having no troubles.. i dont think the UAI has much to do with how well people will go at uni... its a totally different learning environment

 

[The_DJ]

I also scrapped into my course last year.. and i know for a fact that uai and how well you do at uni is weakly correlated..

If you just scrapped into a course, you have as much capability with someone who got a higher uai.. remember there's scaling involved.. so hard work sometimes does not show with your uai. Also, there is a cultural difference between school and uni, some will improve in the new environment some may find it a little difficult to adjust..

 

[clive]

I have the highest UAI in my course (cos there are only 2 people doing it )

 

[PrincessSJ]

I scraped into my course with all the extra points that i got etc etc and im sitting on a D average... it depends on how much you put into the work and whether your heart is in it.... i mean the HSC pissed me off because it was structured and my art teacher didnt let me do what i wanted... i desperately want to be a special needs teacher, now im in the course and doing really well!!

i dont think UAI indicates ur ability in a uni course at all!

 

[Cape]

Thats true. Cause uni is much more hard work and more independence to compared high school and theres no syllabus for university. The UAI is only a rank to measure people who did the HSC the same year as you. UAI isn't like a mark of your IQ. There aren't only recent school leavers at uni. The competition at uni is much greater than what it was at highschool.

 

[PrincessSJ]

no becuase the UAI is only a rank of ur performance relative to the rest of the canidature, in 5 or more subjects. It has nothing do to with how you will perform in uni, becuase what u studied in high school may be completley different to what you study at uni.

the UAI is actually measured against the entire co-hort, that means everyone who graduated year 12 with you AND year 10... so that includes school leavers in year 10 as well
