hey i was just wondering if its hard to get an atar of 70?
and btw, i want to get into this course at uni. the cut-off is 68.05. lets say i do get atar 70, and someone else gets 71. there is one spot availabe, would they choose the other person with higher atar over me?

Hard or easy is subjective. For me, over 70 will be easy.

Yes, logically, the person with 71 will get that spot.

well my school is ranked really bad. i think in the 300's. anyways, these are like my subjects and rankings at the moment
general maths 73% 5/78
senior science 73% 6/62
standard english 54% 92/188
modern history 68% 10/72
retail 54% 10/22

usually if you have reached the atar cut off you should be accepted... however on the chance that the course is popular and you happen to be the lowest atar which applied for that course and your still above the cut off they should still accept you.. and next year they would raise their atar cut off...

just depends on supply and demand of a course

Depends, Most people on this forum ignore the fact that 2/3 of students get under 65 atar and assume everyone can achieve 85+.

Depends on many things.

What... people get under 65 atar? IMPOSSIBLE!

2/3 of students get under 65 atar
is this for real?

No. Hahaha
It's a lot less than that.
Remember, we're compared to our year 7 cohort. So a bunch of ATARs are allocated on how shit some of them would've gone.

Not quite true. But come on, SOMEONE has to get the atars in the 50s and 60s etc.

Median ATAR was about 68 last year....

I'm sure someone at my school will get *. Hahaha
My friend was saying "since I go to a catholic school I should be able to get an ATAR" and I laughed in his face and said "that doesn't f**king matter you stupid c**t! It matters how well you go in your exams, especially because you're coming last in mostly everything!"
Fuck I hate people.

Yes, but you do realise alot of people don't give a toss about their ATAR and just want to finish school.

Not exactly true. About 43% of people get under 65 ATAR. Whilst it is a rank, it gets less saturated when you get lower and lower.

lol so many of you nuffies throw around figures you have pulled out of your arse! haha

 

[megabakedpotato]

not you D49, that is true

 

[Riproot]

With a response like that to a friend, I'd say that they probably hate you too.

No, he thinks we're like best friends. And I talk like that to everyone, it's the way I say it that makes it different from the usual swearing and shit.

 

[effylove]

Yes, but you do realise alot of people don't give a toss about their ATAR and just want to finish school.

No. I live in a high-achieving cave.

 

[phuong14]

hey if i get like 70 % for retail service in my hsc, would if affect my atar dramatically because its a vet course?

 

[Riproot]

Yes, but you do realise alot of people don't give a toss about their ATAR and just want to finish school.

But you can choose to get an ATAR or not, and why would you want the further humiliation of getting an *
But I think if you get anything above * then that's okay.
