• WACE

  • Literature or English!!! HUGE DILEMMA!

Well im not sure for curtin but for UWA they add on the +5 for Broadway regardless. I know because my predicted (97.45 in y11 sem 2 and 96.35 in y12 sem 1) were nowhere near the minimum of 98. So with the extra points given I was able to be considered for admission. It would make sense for Curtin to have a similar approach imo. Plus there are not as many strong students as you think from Broadway/Step-up schools so a lot of the ATARs even with the +5 aren’t really competitive.

As long as you get 95+ as a WACE atar I think you might be fine.

Also this is pasted from the curtin website:

‘If your ATAR is 70 or above, and you’re eligible for StepUp, you will receive five additional points, up to 99.95’

yeah but that still doesnt make sense for my case. my year 11 predicted atar, based on 2022 atar results, was around 90-91. if they added 5 points it wouldve been 95-96, which could have been considered for 1st round interview offers esp bc my casper score isnt bad. i dont understand why they didnt consider me.
right now i think my predicted (based on atarnotes calculator) is 95 so hopefully it stays like that after wace exams

yea that’s because your ATAR wasn’t competitive enough like mine also why my friend didn’t get in with 96+ predicted (he didn’t have step up like you did) so the chance of first round interview offers would be slim

However the second round interview offers are based on your actual final WACE ATAR which is why I said above that 95+ WACE with step-up should be enough.

Hope you manage to get the ATAR you need!! 😊

    I used medify although I have heard that medentry is better

      4 days later

      With a week and a bit to go until ATARs are released does anyone want to predict theirs?

      and also what are you guys planning to study next year at uni?

        OMG I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO COME BACK HERE!!! So much has happened in between 😱

        I honestly can't believe time has gone this fast, and I can't believe we are getting our ATARS back so soon! I think I am more scared for the results than the actual exams 🙁
        I am hoping for med or dent next year at uni, would absolutely prefer Curtin or UWA, but would be happy if I got interstate (Though expenses are gonna be through the roof, so really hope I get in WA). This scares me even more cos so much depends on my ATAR
        Guys this is actually so nerve-wracking!!!!!

          Arcadia
          BAHAHA rightttt and that was a whole year ago now, and I still don't know if choosing lit was the right option lmao

            sammy
            Both Medify and Medentry were good, I think Medify was more similar to the actual exam, but Medentry was a bit harder so it prepared you well. If I had to choose between medify or medentry, I would go Medentry.

            P.S sorry for replying to months worth of posts

              @doe did you go to the interviews for med/dent at UWA last week

              • doe replied to this.

                not me looking at ATAR reaction videos from VCE cos they got theirs earlier this week 💀💀

                guys sorry for cluttering this thread but I also want to know what time on Sunday the results are released

                just so I know not to stay up all night if they’re like released like late morning/afternoon instead of the moment it turns 12am

                • doe replied to this.

                  Arcadia I don't know as well, I was wondering about that...

                    Ya it’s so annoying how WACE is so obscure about almost everything

                    In other states like VIC, VCAA releases them at exactly 7:00 am so everyone knows the time

                    Yeah and I heard QTAC said it will be released at 9, but they ended up receiving at 8. Now idk if I should stay awake till 12am

                    Imma still check at 12am cos my sleeping schedule f*cked up

                    But idk cos all my friends said they got theirs in the morning
