My school is in this list. I was wondering if i applied for the bonus mark scheme thing UNSW offers, what are the chances of me gaining any bonus marks from it ?

Quite likely.

Bump for other opinions

Yes, it is known as the EAS scheme in uni's

lel like every comprehensive hs near me is on that list rip

 

[DatAtarLyfe]

What criteria does the school have to meet to be on that list? It cant be rank coz malek fahd and canley vale are both in top 100 and they're both on their, whereas my school isn't

I wish I had went to a disadvantaged school becoz of this

Yeahh it's kinda bs

Wouldn't it be advantageous to change to one of those schools and get bonus points?

then you have the issue of cohort quality potentially effecting you

 

[Bestintheworld]

I don't think its bs at all, my school is also on the list but it is a disadvantaged school in terms of finance and the location.

That's true, of course not, but it can be used in your advantage, if you're in a top performing school but not the best of the cohort, to move into a disadvantaged school and get AAA points and the disadvantaged school scheme for a bonus of around 8 ATAR points.

 

[BandSixFix]

You most definitely would get those points.

 

[BLIT2014]

Probably.

Yeah it's not rank but I believed it's based primarily on schools in the inner-west region with large number of students from non-english backgrounds and families on welfare assistance.

What rank? Official school rankings do not exist; UAC or BOSTES or universities do not publish any form of school rankings.

Oh true, i was talking about as in the ranks that are based on hsc performance, but then they arent published by uac.
Ok nvr mind

Maybe ppl in those schools are just smart - doesn't mean its not disadvantaged. Disadvantaged =/= shit grades 100% of the time.

Why do they need to be published to exist lele?
Surely BOSTES/UAC has some sort of ranking list internally (perhaps not based on the same criteria as SMH)
I would assume they would analyse year-by-year results and compare schools to identify under performing schools

It's not really 'under-performing schools' - its more financially inadequate schools and the such. Things like location too.

well, there is a school on that list that is maybe 2km-3km away from my school
ive been there before and have friends there
in terms of facilities its basically identical, theirs are probably a bit better

mines is a selective school, and theirs isnt - but if academics don't matter
why isn't my school on the list?
