Looking through my Year 12 UAC Guide I noticed how few university courses there are with UAIs below 80 at the 5 Universities in Sydney. Given that there are 60,000 HSC students vying for 45,000 places the bottom third (edit: quarter) of my cohort will unfortunately miss out. I read that only 31% of students earned a UAI of 80 or above so could someone please explain to me what the fate of that middle third of my cohort is? Is the federal governments decreased funding of Universities resulting in a decreased number of places, which in turn results in increased UAIs actually part of a plan to stem the rising population in capital cities by forcing the middle third of the Sydney cohort into universities out of Sydney? If not then are they simply forgotten while the high achievers are put on a lofty pedestal and the low achievers are repeatedly stomped on?
Now I know why they didn't publish it. I just realized that 15000/60000 is not 1/3 but 1/4. Heh and to think Maths was my best subject.
