You'll die of shame if you get under... 80
You won't tell anyone what you got if you get less than.... 60
You will be satisfied with over... 97.75
You'll be bloody estatic with over... 99

Note: if I got the (*) mark I would probably tell people about it. It's almost an acheivement in itself.

How many of you actually want 90+ to get into a university course that requires it?

I need roughly 99+ for what I want. 96/98 would put me in a course I'd be quite happy with and under 80 the doors start closing.

I suppose a lot of ppl wish to become doctors and the like. A lot of commerce and economics courses need 90+

Not me though, my course only needs 80 - like most science courses.

You don't need a UAI of anything to become a doctor, just do graduate medicine.

I am already in my economics course :D no UAI required.

You really notice it here because this website is good at isolating the overachiever demographic.

You'll be disappointed if you get less than [edited]... 98.00
You won't tell anyone what you got if you get less than.... 95.00
You will be satisfied with over... 99.40
You'll be bloody estatic with over... 99.60

It's all stupidly unrealistic, but this is the kind of pressure I've put on myself since the beginning of Year 11. The lowest of my preferences is 95.00 for Arts / Law @ ANU. I wouldn't die of shame regardless of what I got - it's just exams. Important exams, but not life-defining. G'luck all.
