Look man, those arent good ranks, and ur school rank is damn near shocking. So i wouldnt be putting too much emphasis on getting that 92. Macquarie takes an 82 for commerce, target that ey?

Ill be honest with you your ranks are really low. Just go hard out next 2 weeks and do your absolute best in the exams. ATM your ATAR estimate would be low 70's.

Definitely not getting into 90s with that school rank and those internal ranks - sorry.

I'd say mid 70s with lots of effort.

id say low 90's but you should defintely try and study 4 hours a day if u want to get into ur course
keep up the good work though

p.s. ur dad is probs just nervous coz ur overachieving, just try incorporate a few marketing strategies in order to increase your dad's morale and satisfaction
why the hell would u tell him low 90's. Dont mislead him, its not doing him any favours.

im pretty sad at the moment i appreciate the motivational comments and all the advice but you guys may have just made it hit home...im not sure if tmann knows what hes talking about but i hope so because hes given me some hope.....

and about macq uni- my dad is like a CEO of this advertising firm and has really high expectations and i am trying really hard :*(... "macq uni is not highly regarded to get a job" so he says.... i dont want to have to go and live with my aunty and uncle in victoria this sucks real bad guys

is it realistically possible if i improve a bit?

Goodluck anyway

Okay, im going to address 2 matters with you. One, your dad sending you away is just ridiculous, the HSC is not a matter or way of life. You've got to speak up man. Secondly, Macquarie is not regarded highly for jobs? What a load of rubbish, tell your dad that Macquarie is a highly respected university and only has lower ATAR's because of its positioning.

And im sorry, but a 90 is not possible man. However that being said, give it your all, dont give up! And you never know, crazier things have happened.

Your dads a prick, tell him to fuck off, let you lead your own fucking life and learn a thing or two about universities before passing judgment.

If his a CEO, how come he sent you to that shit box school of 500+ranking?

But otherwise cat is right. Your dad is slightly unfair.

I recon aim macquire. But dont be disheartened if you dont get in. Just try harder.

you are UNBELIEVABLE....

One of the posts ---Hey guys these are my overall rankings if you colud estimate my ATAR, i would really appreciate it, thankyou.

School Rank 2008: 347

English Advanced: 12/60

Biology: 9/24

General Maths: 12/45

Chemistry: 7/12

Business Studies: 4/22

Ancient History: 5/18


What you say : you will probably get below 30 ATAR with that because your school rank will drag you down heaps.


What do you think your ATARs gonna be?

However, if you're saying the truth: I'll give it to you straight out

YOU ARE GETTING AN ASTERISK FOR YOUR ATAR.
