I think that you would find that the 9:00pm release is determined by the early release newspapers that appear on the stands at 9:00pm tonight. If we had a 9:00am release, then the newspapers would not have them 'that' day.
My apologies ...
My apologies, yes ... naughty Usyd !!
They should be spanked for early release.
Perhaps they think it is their right, as they perceive themselves as the #1 Uni.
Usyd cutoffs
I don't know who suggested that the published Usyd cutoffs were the ones that are to be used for 2006 offers, because they aren't.
They are the 2005 UAI cutoff scores which applied last year !!
What you need to know is the 2006 UAI cutoffs.
So ... Usyd did not 'go early'...
UAC offers
I think I know the reeson for UAC releasing at 9:00pm tonight.
A frend I was talking to yesterday, told me that UAc used to release at 9:00am on the equivalent of tomorrow (19 Jan), but as Sydney newspapers were printing tomorrows edition tonight and sellinga t some service...
UAI and Offers
The UAi is posted on the UAC website on Saturday at 9:00am, but in previous years they have opened it earlier - about 8:00am, so try then.
According to the UAC guide, the offer rounds are :
Preliminary round 4 Jan
Main round 18 Jan
Late round 1 Feb
Final round 8...
