Well pretty sure vic uni is low 80s. Australian catholic uni was the first year of law this year and they had low to mid 80s as well. Other unis are low to very high 90s
2011: Bio [36]
2012: Legal [42] PE [43] Chem [33] English [40] Methods [25] 
ATAR: 93.30

 ANU Law/commerce cut off was 96

And ANU is arguably considered one of the best law schools in Australia, so i'd definitely suggest that you give it a go.

I managed to get into ANU Law/commerce with an atar of 94.5 and the cut off was 96 (I didn't have SEAS).

And ANU is arguably considered one of the best law schools in Australia, so i'd definitely suggest that you give it a go.
I don't think i'll be able to achieve 95+, but I'm aiming for it haha.
Realistically i'd be looking at high 80's low 90's
And yes, i've heard Melbourne and ANU are the best for law

No, they just don't have a very high demand, especially since there are already so many other law schools in Victoria

Haha wasn't trying to be mean, just wasn't expecting law to be so low.
Always been under the impression that medicine and Law was the hardest to get into

Yeah, I think most Go8 uni's are harder to get into for any course. But a lot of people tell me that experience beats the uni you choose.

also early achievers application is easy all you need to do is do some community service, contribute to school activities etc

Be careful about the law profession. It is already over-saturated with graduates since almost every university has a law program. Asides from it being possibly one of the driest and rigorous (meaning you actually HAVE to spend an enormous amount of time reading- you cannot pass by simply using your natural aptitude) programs out there; the competition for ANY grad position/clerkships is ruthless.

So if you are looking at law, my advice is to begin employing good study habits EARLY (meaning high school). It will not only get you a much better atar (which may get you into a better law school), but will mean you can take these habits into university. There is no point in aiming to scrape into any law degree and then cruising through the program - youd be lucky to get a janitor's job in a small law firm.
