Not trying to jump too far forward, but what's required for Aus Student Prize?

Being in the top 500 students in Australia. It's allocated according to population within each state though, so Victoria gets a pretty big cut of the cake. As far as I've heard, it's allocated according to raw scores, so I've had many friends who scored a higher ENTER than me miss out on it, despite the fact I got it. There's also a nomination process so I have a feeling that you have to have been nominated somehow (school perhaps?) to be eligible. The selection process is all a bit unknown as far as I know.
MBBS (hons) - Monash University

YR11 '07: Biology 49

Was it you that dropped spesh for further?

A 40 in spesh is better than a 50 in further, lol. Switch back.

Pretty sure that's what 99.95 used to sit around isn't it? Used to recall that scaling was always required for a 99.95. It's just that in the past few years, Specialist got flooded with too many people so the scaling went down by quite a lot. My assumption is that this year people stopped doing it for the scaling so it's actually gone back up again, hence the beyond 210 aggregate for 99.95.

The +5 to languages is bull, a lot of my friends are doing languages cause of the +5 and when they've finished uni guess what, they remember about 20% of what they learnt in VCE, useful? hardly :S

If I knew I would have done a language as well, but it is stupid that scaling is required for 99.95, essentially that means you have to get basically a handful of 50's to get 99.95

i got 99.75. Does anyone with some knowledge on this matter, reckon i have a chance for chancellors program commerce. I know its 99.90 guaranteed cutoff but it also states that more offers for students less than 99.90 will be given subject to demand. There have only been three offered for 99,90, and with the new power shift that allows Uni's to decide intake leels, does anyone think i have a chance, or is it too far down the ranking scheme. Cheers in advance x
im in the same position as you.. except i want it for biomed so i get guaranteed entry into grauate dentistry

Biomed will most definitely be higher considering original entry is 98.45 anyway. I think there may be some leniency in things such as environmental science and commerce, but not in science, art and biomed.
Damn, was hoping for chancellors science with 99.85 ):

There is a huge demand for science and biomed for people in the 99.90 + range - there won't be any extra places for those below to be considered for these medicince UG degress. But i may have a chance with commerce seeing as there are not a lot students with scores in such a range that want to do commerce straight at melbourne - only 3 with 99.90 + this year.
