Clearly-in was actually 99.00 this year, sorry to hear you missed out..

The cut-off was much higher - 99.00. I know of at least half a dozen people with ATARs higher than yours who didn't get it in this round either, unfortunately, so I don't know what your chances are staging an occupation at the university admissions office :(

Hey, the ATAR requirement was ridiculously high. I only managed to scrape through cause I was just lucky enough to get KLD. Don't beat yourself up about it; BSci is just as good (if not better in some aspects).

Ripped off badly mate.  I feel for you.  Completely reamed by the university.  They say one thing (30% cap on SEAS) and then go and give over half the spots to SEAS applicants.  You never had a chance.  :/

Fark did they give 50%+ to SEAS again?!
It's freaking ridiculous.With the amount of people I know who get SEAS that are legit as compared to those 'accentuating' their situations and those stories I hear from other people... eugh - not many deserve SEAS but 'cheat' their way into it...
And I hate how those legit 98+ able students miss out.. it's so unfair.

So guys, thoughts about what / if you're gonna major in (something)?

Biochemistry and Molecular biology / Genetics sound intriguing as of now.

I like how this was the case, and yet still The Age still writes this article;

EDIT: That article is from last year... awwwwkkkssss

Lol really? What about that "Defence and Disease" one. I hear it's a mishmash of immunology and another.
