98+

 

[Rahul]

hmmm....i would think 97-ish.

 

[deyveed]

Really? That high?

Wouldn't his EE1, ME1 and Physics bring him down a little to like around 96-97?

Btw, whats the median UAI for NSB?

North Sydney Boys

Well around the 97ish

North Sydney Boys are ranked 7th. Pretty 1337 school

 

[HeCtic]

median uai last year was around 95.5-96 i believe.

from what i've heard so far this years cohort is weaker in maths than last years but better in english and sciences.

im hoping to crack the 98 barrier as a sort of ego boost but i really only need 96 for commerce at unsw.

7th and a median of 95-96 isn't special?
Whoa...I want to go to a school like that. You're pretty much guaranteed over 95 if you are just above average in your grade.

 

[Ragerunner]

And considering you are ranked pretty well in a lot of the subjects you should have no worry

the quality of teaching and the facilities at my school isn't any better or of a higher standard than that of a comprehensive high school.

the school does exceptionally well beacause they poach highly intelligent people from all over sydney.

if youre smart and apply yourself, you'll do well no matter what school you're in.

well said

although going to a school that is much more academically minded, would improve the marks of many student, i know it would mine. the competition amongst peers and the general consensus of doing well in the hsc is a big bonus.
