Helpful Thread for Those Contemplating SCEA

<p>Silverturtle and Elefantes (or anyone else who devotes time to these things and knows about them!),</p>

<p>Can you help me understand things a little better please? Coz I’m an aussie, and here your placement in university depends on your final score from Year 12… (It’s so nice to think “I’ll definitely get into Law”)</p>

<p>What sort of things does it usually take for someone with such strong stats like these last few posters to be accepted rather than deferred?
Do you just need to be different or somehow stand out?
And if so, what sorts of things will help you to do that? </p>

<p>I’m looking at acui’s stats and I’m just blown over. I’m an IB student and I don’t know of ANYONE who has achieved that much academically. I didn’t even know IB would let you take 6 HL classes. On top of that, there are college classes and AP classes!!! And you’re saying there’s nothing that stands out?!</p>

<p>I’ve been really naive going into this process and this website has made me panic. I’m not seeking comforting words, I’m just confused.</p>
