To apply for medicine. I think I went well in the umat, so hopefully my atar can be lower to get into Medicine
Even if you don't get in, do Medical Science or Science (Adv.) and transfer into med. There are other ways in. ATAR is a joke.

yeah sadly this. People with atars lower than the actual cutoff get in. Even I got into eng/Sci (not really sure what I'm doing) and I was a few below the cutoff. Mind you I did apply for bonus points and scholarships and got them but in the end if you get like at least 70 and then do well in 1st sem/year you can be doing what you want by the start of next year

it looks good but no one talks about it after 3rd week at uni. The ones that are; I usually don't make friends with.

Catholic Studies (NON-ATAR)

Yep, the cutoff for my course was 91, many people got in who got like 81s....
Also, my course doesn't offer any bonus points besides the GWS one. No subject bonus points at all.

it's not the fact they look down on me (because I am literally a foot clear of most people :p) but it's more the fact that they're like "ahh I am better than everyone else" and " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhrfhjLd9e4 ". In the end I got a better mark than that stupid obnoxious baulko and syd boys knob

goes to show that cutoff's are heavily inflated (aside from med). If the current "system" worked then tecnially I shouldn't even be in eng/sci.

(UNSW pls don't withdraw me)

Ohhh man how good is it when they realise they can't rely on their horse shit rote learned essays and end up scraping a pass.

yeah they have no more overpaid tutor to rely on. Now everyone is on a even playing field and if you want to learn you will learn

the bolded part: i thought that about physics but now I learn it rather than memorise what i need to know. even though I still failed, I learned something
