hey i just wanna ask if lets say someone gets an atar of 50 and applies to a uws course thats 65 or 70 can they get accepted in the course ?

i have friends and my 1 of my sisters friend and my work mates friend got atars of around 50 to 55 and got 1 got accepted to B business and commerce and she got 50 and my work mates mate got an atar of 55 and got accepted into B medical science thats like 70 . is it because of number of spots available or something else i wanna know if this is true or not. thanks!

Yeah, you can.

UWS takes pretty much anyone in the GWS region that applies.

Lol, no they won't. You would have to go to TAFE or UWS College first.

5 just for applying, and extra 10 if you do well in particular subjects XD so max 15 points

 

[Ahmed ftw]

Have they changed it to max 15? Im pretty sure its just max 10.
You cant get 15. Check the uws site. Im 100% sure its just 10 bonus points.

they still take you, some guy in my year got 38 and made it to Arts/teaching.

Student who failed the hsc is gonna be teaching.

 

[Ahmed ftw]

Didnt he have to take another pathway first?

 

[Ahmed ftw]

I guess it depends on numbers as well, I mean if a course is supposed to have x number of students enrolled and only y number of people actually are eligible to get in, they may drop the standards (every uni does this)

We all know that teaching is a good profession, but what he is implying is that someone who is not "academically capable" will be teaching. You know what that might result in, right? If someone gets 38! (not factorial) think again, are they really capable to teach if they completely 'failed' the HSC? Well, there are also other things to be taken into account, not really sure why he didn't do well in the HSC. If he had family issues or medical problems, then.... different story - if it prevented him from at least working. But seriously... 38.... like c'mon, that is almost the lowest ATAR possible.

But good on him at least he got something.

Teaching is really a noble profession, you don't need a good ATAR to be a successful teacher, it requires passion for teaching. Everyone of us, including our nation’s Presidents are the product of teaching. The teacher is the one who molds a child into what he will be on the future. He is being taught how to read and how to write, how to deal with others and how to deal with himself. The knowledge of the teacher is being shared or transferred to the child from science, technology, arts and values. And when the child is ready to pursue for a higher degree of education and specialization, it is still the teacher who is guiding the child for him to attain his dreams and expectations. No other profession is greater than teaching. Without teacher, there will be no Engineers who will plan, design and manage the construction of buildings, roads, bridges, communication facilities and other mechanical infrastructure. Doctors, scientists, politicians, etc, will not exist without the teacher and the teaching process.

That is a wonderful post!

I agree, but if you're not smart enough to pass a course, how can you be expected to teach other people that same course?

Don't think so, a friend of mine who got 41 couldn't get into business at UWS but got offered a diploma course.

However true, another friend who got 50, got an offer with them.

Ridiculous how they claim the max bonus point is 10 though.
