HSC Plus bonus points (2 Viewers)

[uhawww]

You're not guaranteed a place in the course, some person I heard got higher than the required uai (i.e. even without HSC plus scheme) it was his first preference and he still get a place in the course

if that's supposed to say 'didn't get in the course' who ever said that was bullshitting

 

[whoisurdaddy]

would 92 or higher with 5 bonus hsc plus points give one a very strong chance of getting into commerce at unsw?

max 5 at UTS

max 5 at UTS

Max 5 at UTS ?? cause i know this guy, he got 89 uAI but got into UTS Law/Arts, which required 97 UAI Isn't it like 10 for UTS?

 

[melonkitten]

... i didnt think so..

not this year..?

coudl be wrong

 

[kangms]

it was in 2007, which was last year

Maximum 5 at UNSW, USyd, UWS, etc. At UWS, you can get an additional 5 for being a resident of Greater Western Sydney (effectively up to 10 bonus points in total).

Sydney offers 5 uai off as well? can anyone link me the site to it?

did he get a main round offer, or was it in the second round or third round - coz not all places are taken in one go - some ppl dont accept the offer so the UAI cutoff to get into the second round is usually lower.

and im positive that under the HSC plus scheme for UTS, its max of 5 points...

[kangms]

im not sure when he got in. But still, the second round uai is at least 97 for law in UTS, therefore, he MUST've got 10 extra

What im unsure of, is how these two combine together .. would they stack?
im quite sure EAS gives you less or equal bonus uai points than HSC Plus, so i dont see why you would need to stack them anyway. for example, if you got 85 uai, and recieved +5+5=+10 from HSC+/EAS, i would imagine they wouldnt let you into a 94.9 uai course, mainly because you performed well below the wanted mark and only with these cheap points that you could make the cut off.
thats just my opinion though. they very well could just let you in. or not. i dont know.

I have a quick question:

Hypothetically, if the cutoff for a course was 90, and one person got 90 with no bonus UAI points and someone else got 86 and 5 bonus UAI points, who would be given priority.

I would think that the 86 + 5 person would be given priority because they have chosen HSC subjects that prepare them for that course.

Is this the case?

hmm can anyone asnwer this?

 

[wrong_turn]

uummm 08'ers there is a thing called getting accepted into a course below the published cut off. it does happen...

 

[Zeestylez]

hmm i was just wondering, what would be the odds of getting accepted even though your UAI still doesnt reach the cutoff even with the bonus points and your only 2-3 points short?
does it all depend on the popularity of the course or is it strictly 5 max points?

commerce...
commerce?!?!?

You don't need to apply for it, it is added automatically

How do I apply for HSC Plus?
No separate application is required. For admission to undergraduate programs at UNSW all applicants completing an Australian Senior Secondary Certificate [Year 12] - either in Australia or off-shore - must lodge an application via the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC). Applicants completing the International Baccalaureate in Australia also apply via UAC.

If you have a preference for a program included in HSC Plus at the close of change of preferences AND your performance in a Year 12 course or courses is in a specified band, bonus points will be automatically added to your UAI or equivalent to increase your selection rank for that preference.
Source: UNSW



No that isn't how it works. If you are eligible for it they will 'add it' to your uai to be used when selecting entry. i.e. they artificially inflate your UAI for selection purposes.
There's examples of how it works on their website if you go to the link above.


Educational Access Schemes (EAS)
It is for applicants who have experienced long-term educational disadvantage.
See here: Universities Admissions Centre (NSW & ACT) Educational Access Schemes

WW to the rescue!

I think its quiete possible depending whether there are vacancy

Uni entry system close to collapse - National - smh.com.au

'One student claimed to have scored a UAI of 95.3, which is above the cut-off mark, and failed to gain entry into the UNSW commerce course, despite it being listed as the first preference on their application.

But Professor Wai Fong Chua, the acting dean of the faculty of business at the University of NSW, said she had received no reports of students being denied a place.

"If it was a genuine posting, that student would be on the phone to us, and we've heard nothing," she said.'

so i guess that's student is BS lol

Does anyone know/heard of anyone who got into their course because of this?
