One of his section scores for UMAT were below 50 and Monash has the 50/50/50 rule, so he wasn't eligible for Monash.

As Cookiedream said, Monash unfortunately have the 50/50/50 rule in place and I failed Section 3 of the UMAT. I was honestly considering deferring my place to take a gap year and reapply for Monash but the thought of studying the UMAT and going through that whole process again was awful.

Hi there!
Im a year 11 student and if you don't mind answering I have a few questions about VCE:
- How many hours did you personally study on weekdays and weekends?
- Did you do tutoring for any of your VCE subjects if so which?
- Did you have a personal "life" during the VCE period - like did you have spare time?
Thanks so much!

Did you quit social media/youtube during VCE?

Hey! I studied around 2-4 hours per night during the week and approximately 5-8 hours each day on the weekend. You could probably get away with less, but that’s what I felt comfortable with. I had tutoring for spesh (because it’s hard), Latin (because it’s really hard) and English (because it has to be in top 4 and I’m a maths/science person). I found I had a lot of spare time during VCE. I didn’t really socialise that much but I had plenty of time to binge watch netflix ;).

I didn’t see any need to quit social media during VCE as it feels like a bit of an overreaction. I always enjoyed coming home from school and lying on the couch checking Facebook and other media while eating some food before getting down to study. I’ve never really been into YouTube so it wasn’t a problem for me.
