I haven't done so well academically in years 7-10. I've only started trying really hard in my senior years so when I got my final ranks HSC ranks I was moderately pleased. However, people have been telling me that with my ranks I cannot get a high enough ATAR to get into UNSW medicine (99.6+).

Final Ranks:
Adv Eng: 15/85
Biology: 1/68
Chemistry: 1/54
Maths Ex 1: 2/75
Maths Ex 2: 1/22
Physics: 4/35 --- I might drop this.

School Ranks:
2011- 60ish
2010- 120ish

Last year we got 20 band 6s in Eng Adv but normally we get 10-12 band 6s.

Improve you're English and there's a high possibility :)

Make sure you DON'T drop physics only 3 weeks left, you might never know if you’ll bum out on any other exam, then physics will save the day :)

I'll work really hard on English and try to do my best.
I think I'll take your advice and keep physics as there IS a chance I might burn out.
Thanks for your comment.

I think 98+ the only hindrance will be your English. But with your rank 1s, if you smash externals and get a band 6 in English you can push it up.

Thanks Official. I feel a bit more confident with your opinion given that you have received a high atar and are doing similar subjects as me.

No, at even some top 50 schools, you can be in the top for almost all subjects and still not get over 99.50.
okay pretend OP gets these marks
Chemistry - 94
Physics - 91
Biology - 95
Adv English - 90 (not hard in a school that gets 20+ B6 for english)
MX1 - 97
MX2 - 95

thats already 99.65 according to the calculator i use, so all these estimates of ~98 are retarded LOL
and trust me i know, although i was in a top 10 school, people who had english ranks of like 110/160 ended up with 99.5+
