just wondering.. (1 Viewer)

did the people who got 100 in their UAI all go to selective schools??..

 

[Ragerunner]

Can't say for sure, but I don't think they all do. Some may be private and even public.

But the fact still remains that you can still attain a 100 UAI, regardless of what school you attend.

Going to a selective school gives more chances of getting a UAI of 100, but don't think all went to selective

I know one who went to Sydney Grammar.

Didn't one member of BOS (c_james I think his name was) get 100 but go to a school ranked outside the top 200? So to answer your question, I severely doubt it.

There do exist smart people who don't go to selective schools. There will have been private, public, and selective school students who got 100.

There is one REALLY smart guy in my year. i have no idea why he is in our school ..

 

[pLuvia]

Maybe he doesn't want to be in a more competitive environment

yes, c_james didn't go to a selective school, but a private (catholic) non-selective, Marcellin college if I remember correctly. Though I reckon his school would've been top-200 atleast.

umm 2 people last year in my school got 99+

soo yeah. it's feasible.

We ranked 74 in 2005, and 174 in 2004.

To the original poster, believe me when I say it's more up to individual student ability than the school. While it's true that the majority of the top students attend selective schools which they and/or their parents (sometimes erroneously) think cater better to their ability, a lot don't, and there's nothing wrong with that.

It also has a lot to do with your particular year 12 cohort. As you could probably tell by our 2004 ranking, we didn't have too crash hot a year. Mine was very different - there were a lot of smart kids (a 99.55 UAI and a bunch of high 98s among them) and we were a much more competitive (healthily) bunch of guys.

^^ he was very smart - everyone at our school knew he'd get ~100.

 

[simbim21]

yeh, a girl at my school (private) got a 100. there was a 99.95 too.
