Nah, your style is blunt but like the advice is all good and gee *thumbs up*
Some people take the truth better in a blunt way anyway; no need for flowery language-ness also it's like 2AM so yeah lol Truth expressed in a constructive way are helpful, not meanness nor just saying what someone wants to hear if it's not true.
Also feeling for all these kids that went into the HSC not knowing their schools mark ridiculously easy, and then get a big shock. Sometimes, it's not necessarily even that they aren't intelligent but they just didn't get taught how to tailor their knowledge properly in the style of how to answer? Or they just getting taught properly and they are capable of more. Anyway, uni is the time the playing field is level.
How so? I think uni is really different in lots of regards.
Once you at the uni, you have access to the same lectures and materials etc. Whereas prior to that, one student may have gone to top tier school and a tutor for every sub etc. and one student may have been doing like distance ed with a dodge teacher and they have no peer exposure to know what is expected. Before, you say, well individual work ethic always exceeds etc. Well yes, hard work is good but if you don't know the outlines, if your teachers don't understand how hsc marking works and you get 99-100 for every assessment at school and are assured b6s-well even if you are trying, you are being disadvantaged by way of ignorance because you thought you were on top of it all and working ineffectively. At uni, you get the mark and your profs can explain why so etc. That's what I meant in regards to uni being more level.
Unless you are talking about a carry on effect of just having better resources/academics growing up or scaling at uni or competition between students intra/interuniversity or something...but that's what I meant by level ^.
Uni is very similar to HS - externally, it appears very different, but really, it's the same game. It's like the difference between the NRL and State of Origin - Origin is faster and harder, but ultimately, it's still rugby league.
I was referring more to this - which is a big part of why the uni playing field isnt really level.
You likely see them as similar as you were never truly satisfied with either in the same academic sense. Most people find uni very different. The only thing haya has got to worry about is that he will be disappointed in his results again if he is complacent again at university with his study efforts, provided he still has the same high expectations. Complacency is not good at any tertiary institute or job imho.
More level if two students are intelligence/work equivalent but just had vastly different opportunities-once in university, more level but life is never truly level. Scaling, everyone has the same hit in each unit, but then yes, it can be hard to compare students where faculties scale and others don't etc.
That isnt really relevant to what I'm saying - learning is learning, uni is just a higher level to HS, that's why it seems so different. But in reality, it's school.
No it is relevant as personal experience can make two very different places seem the same because your feelings towards it are the same, rather than the place being the same. Where many others perceive they are quite different because people have different perspectives, and yours is the minority one imho from what I've encountered. The way uni is run and the approach people take to it is vastly different to school. The purpose is different. Not to mention uni is radically different to most people's HS due to independence.
Anyway, this is not a thread X on if there is a difference between HS/uni debate so I'm not going to derail it anymore by responding to anything that's not directly linked to the discussion of haya's results/his Qs on what do now with his results re:Melbourne and how to rectify performance in uni. Only reiteration on the point of it being similar for haya's sake is that complacency won't work in uni and again, hyper inflating ego/self-pressure like in HS will only make a slip more bitterly disappointing. And then making excuses will not help in future, rather than critically analysing the past and accepting what has happened is what helps the future. Just general life there though-applies to non academic things as well. I'll step back and let haya mull over what I, Rippy and all other recent posters have said and if OP has any furhter questions, I'll endeavour to answer them
^All this shit = LHS is right, enoilgam is wrong; showing us again that UNDS does not run like proper unis.
HS - you have people who do all the same subjects, at different institutions, so the teaching level is different and you're fucked if your teacher is shit, etc.
Whereas, at uni - people in the same courses as you are subject to pretty much the same teaching and stuff, most of the work has to be done by you anyways because that's just how uni is, so the people from selective schools and the people from low-ranked schools in the same units are now completely on-par and success is determined by your intelligence and work ethic, not much else.
But comparing to different unis/courses is difficult, but the different unis don't really pretend to be doing the same units to each other, whereas at HS you could do Eng, MX1+2, Phys, Chem, Bio and get 95 at a low ranked school and come first, and someone with the same intelligence and work ethic and subjects could get 99.2 at a top 10 school.
O ok, well my name is Alex Wojno, as most people on BoS already know anyway haha.
Only reason I did UMAT was because parents wanted me to do med for job stability, and UMAT seemed to be only way into it. Then I thought about things and realised Sydney is gross, and Melbourne's med school is better than Sydney's in world rankings, so why not go postgrad med at Melb. Which is what ive set out as the plan, undergrad science then med postgrad, assuming I fail at NIDA every single year LOL, hopefully can get in asap. Not like those ppl who audition six years in a row and get in seventh year :/
VCA eh... will check it out. I have zero dramatic training, only the improvisations I do on my own
Okay, coolios
Ew, no, that is grose.
Med School = fastest way to grad because it doesn't matter where you go as long as you do other stuff later
+ Vic intern placement is based on your achievements so far, so you will be competing for places at the top hospitals with people who have masters degrees and research and shiz.
But if you don't like med then don't do it. A lot of jobs are stable, so pick the one you like best ~~~
Deffs get some proper training behind you before you audition for NIDA
It's really silly how weird and pretentious they are, like, you need a CV with experience otherwise ~good luck~ getting in. Also, good looking people have a higher chance of getting in so make sure what you're wearing, your hair, etc. are all good for your auditions.

Also, CV-wise, try and do a bunch of shows this year. Like I'm not sure about UMelb, but I know USyd has a really good acting scene with MUSE/SUDS running musicals and plays all year (I think SUDS has a different one like every week), and you can get involved in community stuff as well ~~~
What?
You didn't choose your parents?
I did
I deffs chose them
