Hey Zero, just noticed your sig. Anyway, I found out a few days ago that they're changing how the scholarships work at ANU from next year onwards. The info's all here:
http://www.anu.edu.au/sas/scholarships/school_leavers.php
Basically, it's harder to get the full scholarship (i.e. you need 99.90+ now, whereas you only needed 99.60 or so previously), but they've added a new scholarship for those between 99.50 and 99.89(?!) which pays half as much. Still plenty though (in fact the full scholarship pays 25% more than it used to. Bastards).
Yeah I would be happy with the half scholarship as well, but I would be so pissed if I got 99.85
Not as pissed as quite a few of my friends who didn't apply for scholarships at ANU because they didn't expect to get as awesome a score as they did, and so missed out...
