Which is more important, the UAI itself or the HSC results which make the UAI?

UAI is waaaay more important as thats wat ppl care about.
eg
"so what did u get for your HSC?"
"um 64 UAI but I did top the state in Hospitality"
"well thats great but your mark is a bit low"
"but but I got 90 in hospitality"
"yeh good for u"
okok thats an overexaggeration and in no way do I think hospitality is a bad subject but u get my point.

i agree
within a year you'll be hard pressed to exactly remember either, unless you got 100 or something.

forget a year, i reckon people stop asking within a week
after you get into uni you won't even give it a second thought
and for those who didn't make the course they wanted, you'll be so caught up in uni anyway that you'll forget about it

Well u can't get a good uai without getting good hsc marks....like you can't run before u walk.
Therefore i believe you should focussing on getting the marks to get the uai. The UAI however is the one that is functional, i.e it either gets u into ur course or it doesn't, thus for the uni-going public the uai is crucial. It can also provided an ego-boost, and i'm sure is important as a livelihood-source for many a counselleor and tutor.

Think of your UAI as your year 11 prelim results were. In a year from now you'll view your HSC the same way you view your prelim now.
Matter of fact I was waiting to log on and check my second semester results for uni about a week before you guys got your results. But instead of getting them 2 hours before we were told, they were sent out to our emails a whole day early!
And if you try out for any sort of academicscholarships or the like at uni then your HSC results and UAI will still count, as they will if you choose to change degree. Obviously it won't be the only thing (your uni marks will be taken into account), but there is still the possibility that you will need to use it again.
Unless you're one of those people who aren't going to uni, in which case you're probably not going to need it!

Surely I can't be the only one who had reps of gossip circles circiling like vultures waiting for my UAI? They'll remember till they leave this world
.In a roundabout way, this repeats the point of what other people think about your results
.
tee hee, how true that is. But notice that most of these people who will remember are older/or at least middle-aged. They have nothing better to do with their lives than discuss the future 'hope' of the nation, which of course, translates to you.Originally posted by kini mini

The gossip circles, like vultures, will move on eventually when the carcass has been picked clean. Just be patient. Besides most of it has very little actually to do with you. Just smile and try to enjoy the attention. "its better to be talked about than not talked about"????
My experiences thus far with the gossip circles (also entitled "why only 99.95"):
1 - I've been asked repeatedly about a controversy over our modern history marks, where a particularly strong class failed to get into band 6 at all.
2 - I was accosted at the shops yesterday by yr 11's, who kindly told me that I would have "gotten 100, if the rest of my year wasn't so stupid and brought me down" (For the record, my grade is *not* stupid, and i would not have swapped them for any other group of ppl if I could!)
3 - There was controversy over exam conditions at school during HSC, and I've been asked if that had any effect on it...
The irony is I'm so pleased with my mark...it has gotten me into my course (its entire function), and the HSC is over. Any failure to make 100 is purely my own! I suppose its flattering that everyone is going to such efforts to shift culpability tho...
Oh yes...back to my flimsy point. Your UAI is final, there can be no more conjecture. The gossip circles will leave eventually.

the UAI is more important, coz its a nice simple number out of 100. ppl can't be bothered asking u "what'd u get in maths?" , "oh thats good, what about english?"
