So true, especially about the shorts. When I went to Vietnam you could spot them a mile away... don't they realize that it's culturally insensitive to wear short shorts and singlet tops?? And then we saw one bathing topless on the beach, what an idiot, they don't respect other cultures at all.

He's an absolute wanker. "Why don't I just provoke this dangerous animal... Crikey!!!" And the sad thing is that the Americans actually believe thats what it is like over here. He gives intelligent Aussies a bad name.... and his wife has an annoying accent. Frankly, I think he is an...

This message board, dance.net, MSN messenger (I would bet money that if I deleted it from my computer my UAI would improve lol), daydreaming, making notes/diaries "colourful", getting a snack and then coming back to continue study more than an hour later, watching crappy TV shows, listening to...

I do ballet, tap and jazz, and I'm a moderator on dance.net (AussieAsherina)... what are your dance.net sign ins??? Dancing rules, it's a ton of fun!

Hannah, is that you! More AHS people, yay!! Ashlee :)

I'm also looking at doing Journalism/Media and Comm next year, preferably at UTS (I think). You should also look at CSU Bathurst, it hasa high reputation, and also the University of Wollongong has a journalism program.

It's not a uniform thing, it's not like everyone gets extra points, and they don't actually get them on their UAI... it's sort of like some unis might give them extra consideration because of where they live.... like I know if you live in Albury and apply for CSU they look at your application as...

Thanks for clearing that up Minai

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the advice. Here is a predicament though... what if I get a high enough mark to get in to Sydney Uni... it's going to be hard to turn down that prestige, and to me it appears to have a more enriching campus/college life than say UTS (correct me if I'm wrong)... also nobody in my...

I wasn't complaining. I just don't believe it because I haven't seen any evidence that this is true and it seems a little far fetched. Call me a skeptic... However, if somebody has some solid evidence to present that indicates that this is actually true I will be pleased to hear it.

Umm... I don't live in the city. I live in a non-metropolitan area.

I don't think I would be the dux, there are other people who are coming first in other subjects (ie maths extensions, physics, software etc)....

I seriously refuse to believe that. I would love it if anyone had any proof to show that this is true??

What is Bathurst like? Is it a hole??? What's the population??? What is the nitelife/shopping like lol!!!

I don't think that's true. However students may be considered as having a higher UAI by some unis when you apply (like if an Albury person applies to go to CSU they get 5 bonus points because of where they live), however I don't think you get extra points on your actual UAI, some unis just...

I'm also at a non-selective non-metropolitan government high school (Albury High) and I think we are given just as much as chance to excel as our city/private counterparts....
