HSC used to have a 100 UAI score, not any more since they adopted the ATAR system.

Talk about being arrogant. People would kill for a score like that and she's still whinging

It's the student's right to go through the appeal avenues if they feel that they had been unfairly treated. The question is why the publicity campaign was necessary. I guess another big part of it is why she really thought it necessary, but oh well.

Something tells me that this girl's mum is the one pulling the strings, pushing her to appeal.
