I'm not sure about all the details on this, but I had a family friend who got 99.50 last year and got offered scholarships at Melbourne and Monash, so you'll surely get something like that with such an amazing result :)

It has certainly been a hard year for 2015 VCE students. Hopefully, it isn't as hard in 2017  :P

Hi class of 2015 congrats on finishing vce!!!

I got a 93 atar and was accepted into seas - What do you think the chances of getting a fianciall supported place at melb uni is through  the access Melbourne scheme.

Apparently they only provide assistance to the top 180 kids with SEAS. I'm assuming I'm way out of eligibility due to my lowish atar.

What do you guys think?

Also, throughout the whole year I only lost 3 marks in SACS, the practise SACS I handed the teacher where all 98%+, she's an

examiner so wasn't marking too leniently I'm assuming, and I walked out of the exam thinking I aced it. Instead I got a 38 ss scaled to

35. Is there a possibility they may have miss marked or made some error in the calculation? Is it possible to somehow verify that they

added my

scores up/ marked the right exam?

There is definitely a way to check, you should probably talk with your teacher and school as a first point of call. They should be able to confirm whether your SAC details were entered correctly. If you still feel like something may have gone wrong, you may think it's worth purchasing a statement of marks and a statement of study score (and possibly an inspection of scripts). The form for these will come with your results in the mail, but you can also find it online (along with more info) here
