I would just like to say that I had an ATAR of 59.85 and I was really shocked, since I had 2 band 5's but I guess my band 3 scaled me down lol

Anyway the day after I recieved a letter from uni, offering me a position in bachelor of arts It wasnt my top preference but I don't care, I'm in uni

So it is still possible to get into uni with a low ATAR ..

It is still possible, however it is just harder to gain entrance into more popular courses.

Honestly I have no idea.... I got a letter from them yesterday offering me a position into that course.... lol

 

[philphie]

were they in your preferences?

it's a bit odd to get a offer this early (scholarship recievers aside)

It wasn't in my preference for U Notre Dame but it was for UWS and UNSW.

I rang the uni up the other day and they said they'll be sending offers to those who got in before christmas...

UND doesn't go through UAC, they handle their application system privately.

 

[philphie]

fucking lol, after this UWS>Notre

Notre is the new UWS

it's a private institution and is not located in western sydney so it won't suffer from the same criticisms as uws

 

[philphie]

fucking lol, after this UWS>Notre

Notre is the new UWS

plus it has a pretty cool name

 

[ljubo]

Yeah it does have a cool name lol..

But I had an interview with one of the professors in October, as far as I know, everyone that is accepted had to have had an interview lol..

Congrats OP

i think that's a pretty good policy, they obviously know sometimes your ATAR isn't an accurate interpretation of intelligence

One of my friends got into Biomedical Science at ND last year with a score in the 40's, but they gave her the offer based solely on school results (which weren't that good anyway).
