not considered at all, its only if u go gateway school and/or live in a low socioeconomic area
I wish I was in a gateway school. Literally rank 1 and no competition until the actual HSC exams. Gateway schools can be used as an advantage. Nobody can sabotage your marks cause if ur that far above your cohort you will only take your own exam marks

they revoke it for unconditional?
im pretty sure, i remember in the gateway days they said that regardless that its unconditional if you don’t do well in the hsc they’ll possibly take it away, idk correct me if im wrong. (also they aren’t the firm offers yet you get the firm offer december 18)

i think it’s because i don’t have to reach a minimum atar? and they still want you to try and not slack off, it’s not fair for me to get a mystery mark just because im already in 😎 also i could be wrong idk

they are legit increasing the atar cut off by atleast 2 points. That is not a miniscule amount. To add more salt to the wound, It's unfair for everyone else when someone with gateway can get in with 70 or even a mystery atar into unsw (for unconditional). If someone achieves a mystery atar, they were genetically cooked (retarded) from the beginning and their intelligence wasn't capped just cause they lived in mount druitt.
The offer is only given based off if ur year 11 marks were good enough for the course (you will be given the prep school if u dont qualify for any course). my mate got rejected from law (she got Cs and Bs at a Non gateway school) but instead got into criminology. This is more targeted towards students who have fewer opportunities, lack of funding and support. The fact u compared the average atar of 70 to a mystery mark gives it away that u clearly don't understand class/ financial differences and the whole basis of gateway being equity. Your complaint feels like a projection that u fear not getting into ur course due to a "retard" taking ur place. It's honestly a shame people believe UNSW is lowering their standards when they're actually helping disadvantaged people.

out of curiosity, which ATAR calculators are generally accepted as "most accurate" with what marks

and out of further curiosity, how are state ranks calculated? is it purely by raw mark in HSC or do internals matter? what marks SR for different subjects?

Hey guys, I have a bit of a confusion regarding internal marks.

For example, let’s say u are ranked 10th in the cohort and the 10th highest hsc mark is 80. Whilst the highest mark is 90 and lowest is 60. Will u get the 80 as your internal mark or would it be adjusted based on the highest and lowest marks.

Additionally if 1 person does extremely well does that help the whole cohort?
