Yeh, me too. Am practising putting in my pin number as a way of distracting myself.

She must have meant it was not really arts because I haven't yet met a single person or talked to a single person who says it isn't journalism. Apparently, it is fullon right from day one and they tell you you have to think like a journalist from the very beginning. Sounds scary but good scary.

I think the best journalism course is UTS. And fingers crossed I get there.

Are we thinking that the cutoffs for UTS are going to go mental this year, since there was an improvement in English marks?

and the good thing is that the Labor Government is getting rid of all the domestic fee paying places.

I love the fact that you quote politics all around the forums and yet this amazing piece of censorship by the state government doesn't shit you to tears. All of us should be able to know where students get good UAIs. Instead we just get this crap "all-rounders" list which doesn't mean a pinch of...

Plus it HAS to include two units of English, although that can be Extension 1 and 2. It doesn't have to include Advanced.

Cmon guys, what about anyone from Ruse or Sydney Girls and Boys.

I just know this one from the paper: Sydney Technical High School: Pok-Fai Wong

hey, when was that journalism lecture at UTS?

I'm thinking UTS because I hear that the journalism is the best and they do all the work experience with the ABC being next door and all. I went to a journalism workshop at PLC earlier this year and this woman's daughter was at usyd and trying to transfer out because it wasn't really about...

Anyone thinking of doing it? Where and why?

I'm just trying to decide whether or not to take a gap year before university and was wondering if I could get the opinions of those who have done it or are considering doing it, whether they recomend taking a gap year and what kind of things they did during that year, e.g. went overseas...

As with all courses, the actual UAIs which people have to get in to courses are quite different to listed cutoffs. I'm sure you know people who are enrolled at Sydney doing law with UAIs of less than the quoted cutoff off 99.6. Since I saw her UAI myself; and I can read the offers in the...

I know a girl who has a place at usyd medicine for this year with a uai of 99.4 so i don't think you can be right.

Yeah, ridiculous. Maybe Laz could help us out with the whole freedom-of-information-raw-marks thing?

I disagree. You need to see how many students. The SMH way, it looks like many students scored distinctions when we know it couldn't be true. I think my model shows depth. Your "worked solution" shows why my idea would give a real indication of what the school did. The other way is misleading...

Maybe I don't get it but as far as I can tell, they tell you how many candidates in total and then they list distinctions. What they should say is 168 candidates, then how many of those had distinctions. So, say you had 168 candidates but only 30 of those were awarded distinctions. In English...

i no i'm gonna sound like a stats nerd but these lists are not really good because they don't sort out how many students actually got those distinctions ie one school could have lots of students who get over 90 in english advanced, ext 2 and ext 2. i bet that's what happens at james ruse. what...

Can we tell how many people sat for maths; and then how many of those scored over 90? I would like to know the same for English. Cos some of these schools have students doing two, three, four units of English, so it kinda bumps up their overall figures.
