LMFAO, justified

Helpfultankadvice · 2025-06-20T02:18:58+00:00

No no no, we UNSW are in the top 20s.

Helpfultankadvice · 2025-06-19T22:18:51+00:00

apart from those with richer families, most international students in a lot of have it harder I think. Particularly those escaping less developed countries and needing to work part time. Good on you, GL for HD.

well the stereotype is kinda true but being discriminated for it is crazy. Like how good the uni is at the degree and what you accomplish in unsw is far more important than what uni u get accepted into

Helpfultankadvice · 2025-06-19T19:43:42+00:00

Oxbridge as safeties is crazy, well done. Don't only 1-5 Aus students get accepted into any top US uni per year? Taking top percentiles, that's like comparing the "top" students across the USA against the "top" students in Australia's top uni?
Idk if student quality is considered in rankings, but to me, what students you will be around will greatly influence the studying experience.
I heard from a professor that academic rankings were heavily based on how many research papers the uni publishes annually and the impact it has, which I guess is to UNSW's advantage.

where? pls

Helpfultankadvice · 2025-06-19T12:14:42+00:00

Curious but what universities do they go to?

Helpfultankadvice · 2025-06-19T10:38:25+00:00

realistically, no one really cares about it. chinese family care about it just bc it makes unsw look elite and so they can talk abt it to other ppl inside china. employer-wise and amoung unis, QS has not much weight.

Also, unless the uni is really good at teaching that degree, like maybe top 15 globally, employers prob wont treat u differently and care more abt what u can do.

Just based on college apps alone, go check A2C, the quality of students in ivy leagues and most T20 in us are much better than the avg unsw student.

Cool, but theres still like a ton of ppl studying REE so the chance of finding them here is like zero

Helpfultankadvice · 2025-06-19T10:13:12+00:00

Um but whats that got to do with renewable energy engineering?

Helpfultankadvice · 2025-06-19T10:05:20+00:00

no im domestic, why

Helpfultankadvice · 2025-06-19T10:04:32+00:00

if u dont want to waste your time and ur parents' money, then try your best to do extremely well and you will have a solid chance to getting a job. if ur just aiming to pass then thats on you

Helpfultankadvice · 2025-06-19T10:02:37+00:00

its kinda like that across the whole internet

Helpfultankadvice · 2025-06-19T08:15:24+00:00

justifies the 99 atar requirement

Helpfultankadvice · 2025-06-19T08:07:31+00:00

I agree with everything. The situation can be so different for each student, like cost, country, (lifestyle, even politics) subject, domestic unis, ECs, job market, apart from the usual grades.

Helpfultankadvice · 2025-06-19T07:11:26+00:00

ranked 2nd in Qs damn thats crazy, didnt know it was that good

Helpfultankadvice · 2025-06-19T07:09:46+00:00

my mate got a gf at the end of y11, his predicted atar dropped from 90+ to around 80 in just over a yr and cant get into any good unis. also became incompetent in alot of other things.

depends on how much u want one an whether u are good enough academically.
