Apparently good grades aren't enough to get into university now, you need to show off what a normie you are
>In the high-stakes world of university admissions, the days of selecting students based solely on their grades have gone the way of cursive writing. Whether in engineering, business or medicine, at the undergraduate or graduate levels, applicants are being asked, through personal essays and video statements, to riff on their volunteer work and values, hobbies and world views — something that conveys their non-academic bonafides

Man I'm glad I'm in Australia, no bullshit entrance essay, admittance to a degree is solely based off academic performance.

They're trying to get rid of the Autistic chinks that work like drones but never have a personality out of being beating for getting a b+
I don't see how doing this will help you graduate and find a job. You most likely won't find a job after college that you studied for.
>>55355641
They say that shit, but the students with the high grades get a huge edge, especially when you're trying to get into a department. Hippie bullshit on an entrance essay will get you admitted, but it won't get you into an in-demand department.
>>55355641
If you're applying, just lie and say you're homosexual or half-hispanic. They won't verify it, and once your accepted they no longer care.

When trying to land a job after college...
Charisma > grades
Welcome to reality!
>>55355641
This has been the case for a while now. Grades are still very important, but you need to show that you are not a drone.

Mate I live in Ipswich, honestly think I'm a rich Asian? I worked through my early 20s so I could go to uni and not be a drain on society.>>55356192

>sit a special tertiary admissions test
>score in the 95th percentile
>get into my course
>defer so i can bum around for another year and drink
god bless australia
>>55356192
> being white and working with, around, or for yellow chink fucks that go out of their way to shit all over non-chinks every chance they get
Been there, done that, never again.
If you thought working with, for, or around niggers is bad....chinks are x1000 worse.
>tfw A's in community college pretty much guarantee admission to a good uni
Spent the last 2 years drinking and playing vidya but I still get to attend a top uni, shits cash

Take solace in the fact that it will be that much easier to command and conquer plebs in the future. Work on your own shit and take advantage of these shitlord faggots that comprise most of humanity.

I was making a snarky about international students, mate. Calm down.
I had to work full time for years before I could even think about moving to the city for uni, which I really regret doing.

>Get stuck in a group project with two chinks and a mudslime
Disgusting. I've avoided all ethnic types ever since.
>>55356405
What course?
>>55356674
civil engineering at a go8, but i'm still not 100% sure that's what i'd like to stick with. seems as though everything has been varying degrees of awful for a while now.
>>55356599
Sorry mate, drinking after exams and posting on here don't mix. I've avoided most mudslimes so far, but I guess that's because they don't go into health subjects here ?>>55356599
I've been in a university geography course where the first assignment was to take a selfie for the class website photo.
I'm not joking. It's a good thing the course wasn't mandatory.
>>55356890
>drinking after exams and posting on here don't mix
I had one this afternoon, which I'm pretty sure will be the first exam I've ever failed. I'd seriously consider drinking tonight too if I didn't have to cram all day tomorrow.
>but I guess that's because they don't go into health subjects here
They do at UTS. But then again, pretty much every faculty is infested with riceniggers and mudslimes here.
>>55355816
only asians go to university here

How did you deal with preqs?

Good.
School admissions should take into account the whole person. Grades based on arbitrary government-monitored curriculum and government approved standardized testing has generated a university system that only accepts idiot sponges who can regurgitate the right facts, and can be filled with all the toxic sjw shit that their trans-racial non-binary student professor can fling at them.
Who do you think should be admitted to graduate level education? The guy with a 3.2 GPA in a STEM program who worked his way through college in a skilled labor field? Or Shaneequa, who got in on affirmative action, got a full ride through white guilt, partied her way through college, but got a 4.0 in her women's studies course work?
Because right now the AAMC standards would push through Shaniqua into medical school. Yes, believe it or not, you can get into medical school with a non-science major.
It's a good thing that schools are beginning to look at whole-person admissions, instead of mindless robots, ready to be educated about how race is a social construct while white people are objectively evil.

College is way too overvalued in America. It's going to be a hell of a shock in 20 years when this bubble collapses. I almost think this will be the next bubble, before China.
Acceptance grades have never been higher, universities have been accepting record numbers, and students are still fucking retarded. COMMON CORE

nah we have affirmative action as well for Abos however only the "white" ones manage to get to university level for the free education.
oh and it wouldn't surprise me if fee paying students got preference as well

Not him, but it's pretty easy if you're good at recognizing patterns, solving puzzles, and have decent analytical and literacy skills. You can't really practice for it.
>>55358547
not really much i can offer you, just approach it with a clear head. if you can think logically and follow a train of thought then you shouldn't have any troubles. check out the sample questions online and see if you can find examples of tests from previous years at a library just so you know what to expect.

protip: good grades were NEVER good enough to get into a respectable university. Good grades was just the lie sold to you in order for teachers to justify their own positions and salaries.
Really , While grades are still important , they are now where near as imporant as before , and just having good grades won't get you anywhere anymore in alot of industries
you need to know someone who knows someone ,
tfw my first job after being in culinary school for ages was being a dishwasher , I could cook better (with the exception of the chef himself ) then any one else there, but I started from the bottom and worked my way up to lead line cook anyways
Drop ~$20k a high-intensity tech training course, waltz into a ~$130k/y job, laugh, and be merry.

It's easy to get good grades.
There needs to be other ways of distinguishing potential students in some cases.
Unless... you want Wong Chang and his 50 asian friends getting all the spots at the uni with their perfect GPA's while you can't even place with your 3.8?
Studying is a fucking jew scam, anyway.
Learn a trade, seriously.
>>55358937
It's actually more that potential employers typically don't give a shit what grades you got, or even what university you went to.
>>55355641
This is how it's been for some time, and it's for the better. Honestly, who wants to work with an autist who never leaves the house? If you're working in teams, which a lot of post-uni jobs like engineering require you to do, you have to be able to work in a team.
If you can't, then you drag everyone down and the company loses money. The fact that you seem to be against this tells me that you probably have no friends and your only hobby is shitposting. Being a team player is crucial.

I've had bullshit courses like that, too. It was like kindergarten. I got a D in one of them, even though I only got A and B grades in the actually academically useful courses.
